Purpose
The purpose of the website is to inform people about the unique and quirky celebrations that occur throughout the year. By highlighting these special days, for example, World Blood Donor Day, the website can provide a resource for learning about different cultures, traditions, and historical events. This information can be used as an educational tool and a source of entertainment, which can add to our understanding of the world and nurture a sense of global community.

Potential Users
The potential users are anyone interested in learning about these days that are related to different interests, hobbies, or cultural traditions. The group of potential users this website is focused on are aged between 14 - 18 years old.

Requirements
The website is required to provide the following:
should be easy to use
the information must be easy to find
accessible to people who may have disabilities such as partial vision or colour blindness.

Specifications
The website specifications are:
At least four linked web pages
A home page explaining what the website is about
All web pages have a header, a footer, navigation, and body text styled using an
external CSS (Cascading Style Sheet) file.
One image per webpage that is consistent with the design
Suitable colours that work well together
Clear titles and subheadings that are easily identifiable
Displays consistently in two different browsers


Research
Through research I found that using colors that are easy to see, like black on white or white on black, can help people with vision problems read things better online. The strong contrast makes the text stand out and provides better visibility and readability.


Tools & Techniques
I used the following tools and techniques to complete the website:
Visual studio code for the coding
Google Chrome Developer Tool for testing
Google Fonts website
Colour blind website
HTML Validatior for testing
CSS Validatior for testing
W3 Schools website

I used the following techniques to complete the website:
Commented the HTML & CSS files
Validated all the HTML & CSS files and fixed all the errors
Tested the website using different browsers
Checked all images have an alt tag with information about the image
Used the Google Chrome Developer tool to trial live CSS settings before making permanent changes

Testing & Trialling
Having the navigation at the top of the webpages makes the website easy to use.
The colour combinations of the headings and navigation makes finding information easy.
Text is easy to read as the font size and font colours stand out on the light coloured background.


Fit for Purpose

I am confident the website is fit for purpose because of the following reasons.
1. The layout makes the information easy to use. Potential users are already familiar with navigating around 
websites when the navigation is at the top of the web page. The user feedback confirmed they could easily navigate the website. 
2. Information easy to find. I used a light font colour with a dark background colour combination that made the text easy to read.
The user feedback confirmed they could find information easily.
3. I set the font family to Open Sans with a font weight of 400 to make the text easy to read. This allowed potential isers that have impaired vision to access the
information.
4. I tested the website for different colour blindness to test the information is accessable.
