Answer 1

They’re asking you to build and publish a four‑page website that presents your BIG PICTURE idea (Betta Bowl) and meets specific design and content requirements so judges can review your concept, pitch video, and brand aesthetic. In short: create a consistent, polished mini‑site that communicates your business idea and community impact.

What you must deliver (clear checklist)
- A published website (use Google Sites, Wix, Squarespace, or similar) with four pages:
1. Homepage — Introduce your business, include a tagline/slogan, and embed your Unit 3 pitch video.
2. Community Impact page — Explain how your idea benefits people/community.
3. Branding/Design page — Show and explain your logo, colors, fonts, and overall aesthetic.
4. Contact page — Provide placeholder contact info only (do NOT use your real personal information).
- Logo/brand design visible on every page (header, footer, or consistent spot).
- Navigation bar present in the same position on every page and linking to all pages.
- Consistent brand colors across all pages (same look & feel).
- Titles, text and images on each page (meaningful, not empty).
- Consistent fonts: limit to one title font and one body font across the site.
- Publish the site and provide the live link (site must be public so judges can view it). You do not need to add SEO — judges will access via the direct link you provide.

Helpful implementation tips
- Website builder: Google Sites is easiest for students and lets you publish a public link quickly; Wix and Squarespace offer more styling control.
- Embedding your pitch video: Upload video to YouTube or Vimeo, then use the embed or “insert video” option in your builder.
- Logo file: use a PNG (transparent background) and keep size reasonable (around 200–400 px width for header).
- Brand colors: choose 2–3 primary colors and 1–2 accent colors. Save hex codes (e.g., #E03A3A) and apply to backgrounds, buttons, headings.
- Fonts: pick one display font for headings and one readable sans-serif for body text (e.g., Montserrat + Open Sans). Apply site‑wide via theme settings.
- Navigation: place nav bar in the same spot on every page (top header is standard). Test all links before publishing.
- Placeholder contact info: use things like “Contact: [email protected]”, “Phone: [phone]”, “Address: 123 Main St, City, State (placeholder)”. Do not include personal or real contact details.
- Accessibility & responsiveness: check how the site looks on mobile and desktop; use high‑contrast text and readable font sizes.

Suggested page content structure
- Homepage: logo, slogan, short 1–2 paragraph intro, embedded pitch video, call‑to‑action (e.g., “Learn about our impact”).
- Community Impact: problem you solve, target audience, measurable benefits or goals, quotes/testimonials (real or mock), images.
- Branding: show logo variations (full, icon), color swatches with hex codes, font names and examples, sample mockups (business card, app screen, packaging).
- Contact (placeholder): placeholder email/phone/address, social media icons (point to “#” or placeholders), a short contact form (optional).

Final checks before submission
- All four pages exist and are linked by the nav bar.
- Logo is visible on every page.
- Colors and fonts are consistent across pages.
- Pitch video is embedded and plays correctly.
- Contact info uses placeholders only.
- Site is published and the public link works.
