Wireframe to Web Code

### Link to the coursework

### Why are we doing this?

A wireframe is a simple line diagram representing the skeleton of a website or an application's user interface (UI) and core functionality. It shows where components should be in relation to each other and what, roughly, they should do.

A common task for a web developer is to take a wireframe and express it in web code. Websites are made up of regular, repeating component pieces, so before you start coding, identify each component on the wireframe and write that out as your skeleton.

### How to get help

Share your blockers in your class channel. Use the opportunity to refine your skill in [Asking Questions](https://curriculum.codeyourfuture.io/guides/asking-questions) like a developer.

You can also open draft PRs and link to the actual code you are working on.

### How to submit

1. Fork Module-Onboarding to your Github account.
2. Check you are in the branch `main`
3. Make a branch for this project called `feature/wireframe`.
2. Make regular small commits in this new branch with clear messages.
4. When you are ready, open a PR to the CYF repo, following the instructions in the PR template. Read [this guide](https://programming.codeyourfuture.io/guides/reviewing/trainee-pr-guide/), which explains more about how pull requests work at Code Your Future.
5. Make sure to add the "Needs Review" label to your pull request. A volunteer will review it, and you should keep iterating until they say it is complete.

> [!WARNING]
> Check you are in the branch `main` before you make your new branch or any changes

There are several projects in this repo. [Make a new branch](https://simpledev.io/lesson/create-branch-gh-desktop-1) based on `main` for each project (each branch should _not_ contain the commits for the other projects). The best way to do this is to _check_ you are in `main` before you make _any_ branch.

This might feel challenging at first, so this is a good problem to bring to class to work on in groups with mentors.

### Anything else?

A really good habit to get into is to look at existing web pages and turn them into wireframe sketches. You can do this with pen and paper. You don't have to be good at drawing: it's just lines and boxes. Start to look at the internet like an engineer: break it down and understand how it was made.

A good place to start is YouTube. What components make up those views? Can you sketch them? What about GitHub? Somebody made everything you see.
