mathsdep_website's Issues

Design improvements in header

The text inside the header needs to be more catchy and better emphasized upon. Also, the IITKGP logo needs to replaced by a png with no white background and inverted colors, so that it looks better and cleaner.

Prevent back button after logout

There is a bug in the website logout that even after the logout, back button of the browser allows the user to go back to the previous pages and don't throw any logout error. This need to be fixed, so as not to allow user to open those pages without a valid session.

Footer design improvments

The footer contains some social media links, in the form of icons, which are not fitting. Also, there is some odd white space below the footer, which needs to be removed. If you have any other design changes implement them and put a screenshot of it in the PR message.

Issue with Students' Corner tab in the Navigation bar

The current Students' Corner tab has an issue wherein whenever the website is viewed in a small viewport, and the collapsible menu is opened from any of the following:

there is a grey box present adjoining the black Students' Corner tab which is clearly not desirable.

Contact form design improvements

The current contact form is a very simple one. You can get design inspiration from other websites and change it accordingly. Your new ideas are always welcome

Events and News holders in the home page

The Events and news on the home page need to store a list of information. Design them accordingly, currently, a very preliminary version is setup. If you have any other design ideas, feel free to mention them and work on them.

Make a new proper sidebar on the Homepage

Currently, the sidebar present on the page just contains the links and is too simple. Make it better, show your design skills. You can look at this for reference. Also explore your own design ideas.
This is the sidebar that needs to be changed

Update navigation bar

The current navigation bar has a few issues. It needs to stand out from the header. The active links need to be better highlighted.

fixed footer is hiding content

Update readme

Update readme for beginner level contibutor

Create a page for Uploading News documents

Create a page to upload News articles that are to be displayed under the news section of the sidebar.
Here you can take the reference of Events,php as the News page will be similar to that. The page should allow the user to uplaod/delete docs under the News Section. All these docs are to be uploaded in the News folder.

P.S.: Name the page as News.php

Design changes in Professor Information

The professor's information is currently well functioning. But there is a scope of good design improvements in this section. Some of them, which I think can be implemented is keeping things in the center, changing suitable font size and font style if you wish. And you can design it as you like. But please ensure that you don't break the functionality 😅
P.S Do add a screen shot of the design change in the PR
