1.2 Working of Any Website:

1. Typing the Website Address (URL):

When a user types a website address (such as www.example.com) into their web
browser, it triggers a sequence of actions to access the desired web page.
2. Resolving the Domain Name (DNS Resolution):
The user’s browser sends a request to a DNS server to translate the domain name (e.g.,
www.example.com) into an IP address. The DNS server maintains a database that maps
domain names to their corresponding IP addresses.
If the requested domain’s IP address is not cached locally in the user’s system, the re-
quest goes to recursive DNS servers, which then search for the IP address associated
with the domain name.
3. DNS Lookup Process:
The recursive DNS server checks its cache for the IP address of the requested domain.
If it is not found, the server starts a recursive search.
It contacts the root DNS server to find the authoritative DNS server responsible for the
top level domain (TLD) of the website (e.g., ‘.com’ for www.example.com).
The authoritative DNS server provides the IP address associated with the domain name
back to the user’s system.
4. Requesting Web Content from Server:

4
 Using the obtained IP address, the user’s browser sends an HTTP request to the web
server associated with that IP address. The request includes the specific web page or re-
source the user wants to access (e.g., www.example.com/home.html).
5. Server Response:
The web server processes the request and fetches the requested web page or content. It
packages the content (usually in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript files) and sends it back as
an HTTP response to the user’s browser.
6. Rendering the Web Page:
The user’s browser receives the response and interprets the HTML, CSS, and JavaS-
cript files, rendering the content. The browser assembles and displays the web page on
the user’s screen.
7. User Interaction:
The user can interact with the web page, clicking links, submitting forms, or engaging
with interactive elements, initiating further requests and responses.

3.2 REQUIREMENT OF FRONTEND

HTML:
HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language) is the standard language used to create and
structure content on web pages. It is the backbone of the World Wide Web, defining the
layout, formatting, and organization of information on websites.
Key points about HTML:

• Markup Language: HTML uses markup tags to define elements like headings,
paragraphs, links, and images, structuring the content of a web page.
• Element Structure: HTML documents are composed of a series of elements,
each enclosed by opening and closing tags, creating a hierarchical structure.

12
 • Semantic Elements: HTML5 introduced more semantic elements (e.g.,
<header>, <footer>, <nav>) that provide clearer meanings to content, aiding ac-
cessibility and search engine optimization.

• Interactivity and Functionality: While HTML provides the structure and con-
tent, CSS is used for styling and layout, and JavaScript is used for interactivity
and dynamic content on web pages.
CSS:
CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheets. It is a style sheet language used to describe the
presentation of a document written in a markup language like HTML. CSS defines how
HTML elements are displayed on a web page, determining their layout, design, and
visual formatting.
Key Aspects of CSS:

• Style Definition: CSS allows the definition of styles for various HTML ele-
ments, specifying attributes like color, size, font, positioning, and spacing.
• Separation of Content and Design: It separates the structure and content of a
web page from its visual presentation. This separation allows for easier main-
tenance and a more consistent look across a website.

• Selectors and Declarations: Selectors are used to target specific HTML ele-
ments, while declarations specify the style attributes applied to those elements.
Advanced CSS Features:
Flexbox is a layout model in CSS designed for creating more efficient and flexible
alignments and distributions of space among items in a container. CSS Grid Layout
provides two dimensional grid system to structure content within rows and columns, al-
lowing precise control.
Transitions and Animations: Adding motion and interactivity to elements using key-
frames, transitions, and animations.
Media Queries: Allowing conditional styling based on the device's characteristics like
screen size, orientation, or resolution.
Basic Structure of CSS:

13
 selector{
property:
value; }
Selector: Targets the HTML element to which the style is applied.
Property: Describes the aspect of the element being styled (e.g., color, font-size, mar-
gin).
Value: The value assigned to the property (e.g., red, 16px, 10%).

JAVASCRIPT:
JavaScript is a high-level, dynamic, and versatile programming language primarily
used for adding interactivity and behaviour to web pages. It's a fundamental technology
in web development, enabling dynamic content updates, user interactions, and complex

Executes code directly in the user's browser, enabling interactive web pages without
server interaction.
2. Versatility:
Used for various purposes, from simple animations to complex web applications and
games.
3. Event Handling:
Responds to user actions such as clicks, scrolls, or form submissions, triggering spe-
cific functions or behaviours.
4. Asynchronous Operations:
Supports asynchronous programming through callbacks, promises, and async/await, al-
lowing non-blocking execution of code.
5. Libraries and Frameworks:
Supported by numerous libraries and frameworks like React, Vue, and Angular for effi-
cient web development.
6. DOM Manipulation:

14
 Manipulates the Document Object Model (DOM) to dynamically change or update
content and styles on web pages. It's a programming interface that allows developers
to: Create, change, or remove elements from a document, Add events to elements to
make a page more dynamic, Change the document structure, style, and content. Define
the logical structure of documents and the way a document is accessed and manipu-
lated. JavaScript is an essential tool for web development, enabling the creation of dy-
namic and interactive web pages, responsive applications, and complex functionalities
across various platforms.

3.3 REQUIREMENTS OF BACKEND

1. Server-side Scripting Language: Choose a server-side scripting language to

handle dynamic content generation and interact with the database. PHP, Python,
Ruby, and Node.js are popular choices.

RESULT AND FUTURE SCOPE
Results:
1. Increased Engagement: The RIMT Clubs Website has witnessed a surge in user engagement,
with students actively exploring, joining, and participating in various clubs and communit-
ies. The interactive features, such as event calendars and discussion forums, have facilitated
meaningful interactions and collaborations among users.
2. Enhanced Visibility: Clubs and their activities have gained greater visibility and awareness
through the website, attracting new members and fostering a sense of belonging within the
university community. Club profiles and event listings have served as effective promotional
tools, reaching a wider audience and generating increased interest and participation.
3. Streamlined Administration: Club administrators have benefited from streamlined adminis-
trative processes, with intuitive dashboards enabling efficient management of club opera-
tions, membership, and events. The centralized platform has improved communication and
coordination among club leaders, enhancing organizational effectiveness and productivity.
Future Scope:
1. Advanced Personalization: Implementing advanced personalization features, such as person-
alized recommendations based on user preferences and behavior, can enhance user satisfac-
tion and retention. Tailoring content and suggestions to individual interests can further en-
rich the user experience and drive continued engagement.
2. Integration with Social Media: Integrating social media functionalities, such as social shar-
ing buttons and feeds from club social media accounts, can extend the reach of the website
and foster a more interconnected digital community. This integration can facilitate seamless
cross-platform engagement and leverage the power of social networks for community build-
ing.
3. Enhanced Accessibility: Continuously improving accessibility features to ensure inclusivity
for users with disabilities is essential. Conducting accessibility audits, implementing access-
ibility guidelines and standards (e.g., WCAG), and incorporating assistive technologies can
ensure that the website remains accessible to all users, regardless of their abilities or impair-
ments.
4. Expansion of Features: Introducing new features and modules to cater to evolving user needs
and preferences can further enrich the website's functionality. For example, incorporating

33
 multimedia content creation tools, virtual event hosting capabilities, or collaborative project
management features can enhance the versatility and utility of the platform.
5. Integration with Learning Management Systems: Integrating the RIMT Clubs Website with
the university's learning management system (LMS) can provide seamless access to club re-
sources, activities, and events for students enrolled in specific courses or programs. This in-
tegration can foster interdisciplinary collaboration and enhance student engagement both in-
side and outside the classroom.
By leveraging these future opportunities and continuously evolving to meet the dynamic needs of its
users, the RIMT Clubs Website can solidify its position as a cornerstone of community engagement
and enrichment within RIMT University.
