LatinX Party Event Page

HTML · CSS · JavaScript

Overview

As part of the CodePath Web Development program, I developed a responsive event management website for LatinX party events. The project focused on creating an engaging platform that showcases events, provides easy navigation, and ensures a seamless user experience across devices.

Problem & Objectives

Create a responsive website for managing and promoting LatinX party events.
Implement interactive features to enhance user engagement.
Ensure accessibility, clean design, and cross-browser compatibility.

Technical Implementation

The website was built using HTML for structure, CSS for styling and responsiveness, and JavaScript for interactivity. Key features include:

Dynamic event listings that update based on user interactions.
User-friendly navigation with smooth scrolling and mobile-friendly menus.
Form validation for event registrations and contact forms.

I applied best practices in front-end development, including semantic HTML, CSS Grid and Flexbox for layouts, and vanilla JavaScript for DOM manipulation. The design emphasizes clean aesthetics, accessibility (following WCAG guidelines), and compatibility across modern browsers.

Sample HTML Structure


<section class="events">
  <h2>Upcoming Events</h2>
  <div class="event-list" id="eventList">
    <!-- Events populated by JavaScript -->
  </div>
</section>

Sample JavaScript for Dynamic Listings


const events = [
  { title: 'Fiesta Latina', date: '2025-10-15', location: 'Downtown' },
  // more events
];

function displayEvents() {
  const list = document.getElementById('eventList');
  events.forEach(event => {
    const div = document.createElement('div');
    div.innerHTML = `<h3>${event.title}</h3><p>${event.date} - ${event.location}</p>`;
    list.appendChild(div);
  });
}

document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', displayEvents);

Challenges & Solutions

Ensuring responsiveness across devices was challenging, especially for dynamic content. I used media queries and flexible layouts to address this. Accessibility was prioritized by adding ARIA labels and ensuring keyboard navigation. Cross-browser testing revealed issues with older browsers, which were resolved by using polyfills and fallbacks.

Results & Impact

Created a fully responsive website that works seamlessly on desktop, tablet, and mobile.
Enhanced user experience with interactive features and intuitive navigation.
Applied front-end best practices, resulting in clean, maintainable code.

Future Enhancements

Integrate a backend for dynamic event management and user accounts.
Add animations and transitions for better visual appeal.
Implement SEO optimizations and analytics tracking.
