- Call-to-Action Buttons:
- "Explore Courses"
- "Join Now"
Featured Courses
- Carousel/Slider: Showcasing popular or new courses with images, brief descriptions, and "Enroll Now" buttons.
Course Links Section
Create visually distinct cards for each major section with icons or images:
Course List:
- Icon: A list or grid icon.
- Description: "Browse our extensive catalog of courses."
- Link/Button: "View Courses"
Course Contents:
- Icon: A book or document icon.

Announcements/News
- Latest Updates: A section for news, updates, and important announcements related to courses and the platform.
Footer
- Quick Links: Reiterate the main links (Course List, Course Contents, etc.)
- Contact Information: Email, phone number, and physical address.
- Social Media Icons: Links to the website's social media pages.

JavaScript (scripts.js)
For the simplicity of this example, JavaScript isn't necessary. However, if you want to add some interactive features like a carousel for the featured courses, you can add the following JavaScript code:
javascript code
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', () => {
const carousel = document.querySelector('.carousel');
let scrollAmount = 0;
const scrollToNext = () => {
scrollAmount += 300;
carousel.scrollTo({
top: 0,
left: scrollAmount,
behavior: 'smooth'
});
if (scrollAmount >= carousel.scrollWidth - carousel.clientWidth) {
scrollAmount = 0;
}
};
setInterval(scrollToNext, 3000);
});
This code sets up an automatic scrolling effect for the featured courses carousel.
Feel free to customize the images, text, and layout to better suit your needs. This basic structure provides a solid starting point for a student-friendly learner website.
