Tips for the new contributors

[0xMukesh]

Assets organization

• All the assets go in the assets folder, these include music, images, svgs...

• All the images go into the images folder, which is under the assets folder

Now let's talk about the organisation under the images folder
These are the folders under the images folder :

Project Images - All images which are going to be used for the projects page will be over here
There is a further division according to the building site name
The image's name in the respective building project images folder are something like this :

• cover
• 1
• 2...

Here the cover image is the image which will be at project page

The highlighted picture is the cover image and the 1, 2, .. are the images which are shown in their respective pages

Avatars - All the avatars of the contributors and staff are over here, which are used in the About Us page

Background - All the backgrounds are over here

Icons - All the icons (such as the ASEAN-BTE animated and static logos, the apps icons) will be over here

Minecraft Builds - The pictures of all the minecraft builds will be over here

Overlays - The overlays of the cards will be over here

Few pratices which are followed here

• Avoiding inline CSS.

This makes hard to change the CSS in future

• If making a new page, then use the navbar code of the previously made pages but not the one of home/main/landing page.
  If making a new subpage, then use the navbar code of the previously made subpages (such as the individual project page but not the one of home/main/landing page or the pre-existing pages.

This saves a lot of time from fixing those file linkings

• Try avoiding making new pages with the similar templates or theme

This makes the website looking kinda boring and repetitive

• Name the CSS sheets of the pages as style.css instead of main.css

main.css has global variables

• When making new page, don't forgot about the meta tags

Are there any other ways I could contribute ?

• You could always contribute to make the dummy text/lorem ipsum into actually text ❤️

• Suggesting new pages/features and reporting bugs
