This is a submission for DEV Challenge v24.03.20, Glam Up My Markup: Camp Activities
What I Built And Why
I built the “Glam Up My Markup” Challenge. I decided to format the form a little bit to make it look like a regular form. Additional I added some colors and bigger fonts so that it is easy to understand for kids and parents. I saw this challenge by the Use-Case parents want to fill out this form for the camp and get supported by their child. So it should look a little bit cute or funny and not like a office document.
The button and the header got a small hover effect so it is more enjoyable in user interaction.
The HTML got the language property with the value “en-us” so a web browser plugin can easily translate the website in any language (tested by Firefox’ translator in Beta state).
