Dream and Design Your Website: A Hands-On Workshop at TKMMC

                                            

                                                          

On July 3, 2026, the PG Department of Commerce, in collaboration with GTECH Computer Education, Haripad, successfully hosted an interactive, hands-on workshop titled "Dream and Design Your Website." Held in the college Computer Lab, the session was designed to empower both students and faculty with the practical skills needed to build a professional online presence without any prior coding experience.

The primary goal of the workshop was captured perfectly by its motto: "Walk in with an idea. Walk out with a live website." Utilizing the Weebly platform, the session focused on a "no coding required" approach, making web design accessible to participants from all academic backgrounds. The instructor led the group through live demonstrations—projected on the main screen—while attendees followed along on their individual workstations.

Key concepts covered during the session included:

• Drag & Drop Mechanics: Understanding the intuitive interface for placing website elements.

• Page Structuring: Creating and organizing multiple pages for seamless navigation.

• Media Integration: Effectively embedding images and multimedia to enhance visual appeal.

• Form Creation: Building functional contact and inquiry forms.

• Publishing: The final steps to take a website live on the internet.

The workshop saw enthusiastic participation from both students and faculty members. The provided photographs from the session demonstrate a highly engaged audience working attentively at their terminals. Under the guidance of the resource person, participants experimented with various templates—such as food and bakery themes—learning how to customize text, adjust layouts, and build a cohesive brand identity in real-time.

By the end of the workshop, attendees successfully translated their initial concepts into functioning, live websites, gaining a highly valuable and marketable digital skill.

The "Dream and Design Your Website" session was a resounding success, successfully bridging the gap between creative ideas and digital execution. By equipping our college community with the tools to build their own digital platforms, this initiative represents a significant step forward in fostering digital literacy and practical technical skills on campus.
