Before you begin

The idea in everyday life

Begin with the supplied fictional tutor brief and a separate editable copy of the runnable files. Identify who visits, the question each section answers and the single session-planning action. Follow README section 1 to make your own brief and narrow-screen sketch before changing the design.

The idea

A website is a decision path: each section answers the next question needed to act.

Try it

One step at a time.

Use the sample or information you have permission to use. Keep your work as you go. You can pause between steps.

  1. 1

    Download the Website build starter pack in Resources. Unzip it; keep an untouched reference copy and a my-site copy. Open my-site/index.html in a current browser and README.md in a plain-text editor. No installer or server is needed locally.

  2. 2

    Use the supplied fictional Maple Study Club brief: grades 6–8, primary action prepare a sample session plan, route promise → subjects → process → plan → privacy. Sketch the route in one narrow column.

  3. 3

    Change the club name and one sentence while retaining the fictional-practice label. Use the supplied original 48×48 SVG; record its reuse permission.

  4. 4

    Record completed plans / attempts as the primary metric. The live launch later needs a GitHub account with public-repository/Pages access; account setup and deployment waiting are additional elapsed time.

Example

See how it works.

The supplied folder opens as a working fictional tutor page. The brief serves grades 6–8; visitors read the subjects/process and prepare a local session plan. It collects no contact data. A 60-minute example means 4 × $10 = $40. The README is the required, included step-by-step guide; the long external video is optional.

Check your work

Did you cover these?

  • The pack opens locally and your edited copy is separate from the reference.
  • The brief names grades 6–8, the session-plan action and the complete section route.
  • The metric is completed plans / attempts; local practice and required public launch setup are clear.
Your work

What to finish

A one-page brief, content outline, and low-fidelity mobile wireframe.

Common mistake

Watch for this

Starting from a visual template before deciding what the visitor must understand or do.

How can I tell I understand it?

Every planned section supports the primary visitor action or a necessary trust question.
