dynamic platform where the client can actively engage with current and prospective customers.
A professional website makes the studio more discoverable to a larger audience, allowing it to
appear in online searches and social media. By creating a cohesive brand experience online, the
website ensures potential clients can browse services, see examples of past work, and contact the
studio for more information.

In terms of real-life application, the website enables Kunal Ratlani to have a centralized, easy-to-
update platform for marketing and client communication. The gallery page will display the
studio’s portfolio, showcasing skills and services to attract clients visually. The contact page
facilitates immediate inquiries, making it easier for clients to book appointments or ask
questions, improving customer service. The website can also serve as a foundation for future
marketing initiatives, including SEO and social media campaigns, which will drive further traffic
to the studio and help retain a loyal customer base.

Overall, this project not only fulfills the immediate goal of establishing an online presence but
also provides long-term value by enhancing the studio’s professional image, extending market
reach, and creating opportunities for client engagement and growth. The completion of this
project will mark a significant milestone in the client’s business strategy, equipping the studio to
compete more effectively in the digital space.

Details of Information Collection / Field Survey

The process of information collection and field survey for the studio website project involves a
systematic approach to understand the client’s needs, the type of content required, the studio’s
branding, and its target audience. Gathering detailed and accurate information at the outset is
essential for developing a website that meets the client’s objectives and provides a seamless user
experience.

Project-Related Survey

The project-related survey is the first step in gathering the necessary information for the website.
The survey was designed to understand the studio’s vision, goals, and preferences for the
website. During this phase, several questions were discussed with the client to clarify:

 Business Goals: The main objectives of the website were identified, such as showcasing the
studio’s services, displaying a portfolio of work, providing information on bookings, and acting as
a promotional tool for attracting new clients.
 Target Audience: A critical part of the survey was understanding the demographics of the target
audience, including age, interests, and preferences, as this would guide the design and content
choices for the site. The goal was to ensure the website would appeal to potential clients in the
best possible way.
 Content Structure: The content requirements were discussed in detail. The client provided a list
of pages and sections needed for the website, including a homepage, services page, gallery, and
a contact page. Specific content for each section was defined, such as descriptions of the
studio's services, portfolio images, and contact details.
 Branding Guidelines: Understanding the studio’s branding, including logo, color schemes, and
fonts, was crucial to align the website’s design with the studio’s established identity. The client’s
vision for the overall look and feel of the website was taken into account, such as whether they
wanted a modern, minimalist, or creative aesthetic.

Information About Necessary Collection

Based on the survey, several key pieces of information were collected to build the website:

1. Visual Assets: High-quality images showcasing the studio’s work, interior, or any relevant
projects the client has worked on. These images will be used in the gallery and on the homepage
to visually represent the business.
2. Written Content: The client provided content for the services page, including descriptions of the
studio’s services and any other relevant textual content, such as client testimonials, mission
statements, or blog posts.
 3. Contact Information: Essential details such as the studio's physical location, phone number,
email address, social media links, and an inquiry or booking form were gathered for the contact
page.
4. Design Preferences: The client expressed preferences regarding colors, fonts, and layout styles
that align with the studio's branding. These preferences were used to inform the wireframes
and mockups, ensuring the site’s look matched the client’s expectations.

Information Collection Process

The process of collecting this information involved a series of meetings and discussions with the
client, either in person or through digital platforms. During these meetings, the client provided
feedback on initial wireframes and design drafts, which helped to refine the structure and
content. Additionally, research into similar websites in the industry was conducted to benchmark
design elements, functionality, and layout choices, ensuring the site adheres to industry standards
while still being unique to the client’s studio.

This collaborative and iterative approach helped ensure that all necessary content was captured
and aligned with the client’s needs, providing a solid foundation for the development phase of
the website.
3. Literature Review: Submit an authentic account of previous work, technical aspects,
literature, etc. related to this project

Literature Review

The process of developing a studio website involves both understanding industry trends and
utilizing best practices in web design, development, and content management. Several key areas
must be considered when creating a website that is not only visually appealing but also
functional, user-friendly, and adaptable. The following literature review presents relevant work
and technical aspects related to web development, with a focus on studio websites, user
experience (UX) design, and the technologies to be employed in this project.

1. Web Development for Studio Websites

In recent years, the development of studio websites has shifted towards prioritizing clean design,
responsive layouts, and enhanced user experience. Studio websites often serve as portfolio
showcases, providing a visual representation of the business's work. According to Meyer (2016)
in his work on web design, a studio website should serve both as a digital portfolio and as an
engaging platform for potential clients to learn more about the services provided. Meyer
emphasizes the importance of clarity, simplicity, and visual appeal in creating a memorable and
functional website.

Further, Gibson (2018) explored the role of user-centric design in studio websites. He argued that
understanding the audience’s needs and creating intuitive navigation systems is essential for a
successful web design. For studios, the website needs to showcase their best work and allow
clients to easily understand services, view portfolios, and contact the business.

2. Technical Aspects of Studio Website Development

For the technical aspects of building a dynamic and scalable website, various technologies and
frameworks have been established as the industry standard.

 HTML, CSS, and JavaScript are foundational web technologies used to structure and
style the content on a webpage, and to add interactivity. According to Duckett (2011),
HTML and CSS form the backbone of any webpage, providing the structure (HTML) and
presentation (CSS). JavaScript, while not mandatory for basic sites, is used to add
dynamic elements, such as image sliders or pop-ups, improving the interactivity of the
website.
  Django is a high-level Python web framework that encourages rapid development and
clean, pragmatic design. In their documentation, Django Software Foundation (2023)
highlights Django’s scalability and security features, making it an ideal choice for
developing the backend of websites that require database interactions and user input
management. For this project, Django’s Model-View-Template (MVT) architecture will
be utilized to separate data management, user interface, and application logic effectively,
which is critical for maintainability and future scalability.
 MySQL is a relational database management system that integrates seamlessly with
Django for handling data storage. According to Welling & Thomson (2016), MySQL
provides a stable environment for storing large datasets and allows for efficient querying,
which is essential when handling data such as user inquiries or client information on the
website.

3. Responsive Web Design

In today's digital world, where users access websites from a variety of devices with varying
screen sizes, responsive web design is critical. Marcotte (2011), in his book Responsive Web
Design, defines this approach as one where the design and development of a website adjust to the
user’s device, ensuring a seamless experience regardless of the device. This involves using
flexible grids, media queries, and fluid images, which will be applied in the studio website
project to ensure that the site functions well on mobile phones, tablets, and desktop computers.

4. User Experience (UX) Design

User experience (UX) is crucial for ensuring that visitors have an easy, engaging experience
when using a website. Garrett (2011), in his work on UX design, states that websites must be
designed with the user in mind, providing clear navigation, intuitive layouts, and minimal
distractions. He discusses the importance of establishing trust through simple, elegant designs
that highlight important content. In the context of the studio website, this will involve creating a
user-friendly layout where clients can easily find the information they need and view the studio's
portfolio.

5. Content Management and SEO Optimization

In the context of studio websites, content management plays a vital role in ensuring that the

Third Progress Report of Project Work (Self-Handwritten, in 500 words)

1. Details of the work completed by the student (separately by each student) .The details of the
work done by each student working on the project so far out of the work allotted under the
project should be submitted by the student.

Details of Work Completed:

1. Project Planning and Initial Setup:

I began with a planning phase to outline the website’s layout, features, and the
technologies I would use. After finalizing the project structure, I set up the Django
framework, created essential HTML and CSS files, and established the folder structure
for a scalable design.
2. Homepage and Portfolio Showcase:
The homepage serves as an introduction to the studio and includes a hero section and
navigation links. Using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, I designed a visually engaging
homepage with an attractive layout. I also developed the portfolio showcase page, where
the studio's projects are displayed. Each item in the showcase can be expanded for more
details, providing an in-depth look at the studio's work.
3. Database Setup and Integration:
I set up a MySQL database to store and manage information about the portfolio items and
contact inquiries. This database connects with the Django back-end, allowing data to be
dynamically retrieved and displayed on the website. I configured models in Django to
create and manage database tables for efficient data handling.
4. Contact Page and Form Functionality:
The contact page includes a form where users can submit their name, email, and message
to reach the studio. I developed back-end logic in Django to process form submissions,
saving each entry to the database. This feature ensures that client inquiries are stored and
accessible for review by the studio’s admin.
5. Admin Panel Development:
To simplify content management, I created an admin panel where authorized users can
add, edit, or delete portfolio items. This feature enhances the site's flexibility, as the
admin can update showcase items without needing to modify code directly. The admin
panel also includes an interface to view and manage contact form submissions, providing
a comprehensive view of user interactions.
6. Responsive Design and Testing:
Ensuring a seamless user experience across devices is a priority. I incorporated
responsive design principles into the site layout, using CSS media queries to make the
website compatible with mobile, tablet, and desktop views. I also conducted thorough
testing of each feature, from the showcase to the contact form and admin panel,
identifying and fixing bugs to improve functionality and usability.
2. Analysis of information/data: Collected information, and statistical and technical analysis of numerical
data

Analysis of Information/Data

For this project, I collected and analyzed various types of information and data to ensure the
website functions effectively and meets the client's requirements. Below is a breakdown of the
key data points collected and the analysis conducted.

1. User Interaction and Design

 Data Collected:
o Feedback on the homepage layout, navigation, and visual appeal.
o User behavior data (e.g., time spent on the portfolio pages).
o Responsiveness across different screen sizes (desktop, tablet, mobile).
 Analysis:
o Homepage Feedback: The layout was designed to be simple and user-friendly. User
feedback indicated that the hero section (featuring the studio's best work) is eye-
catching, while the navigation bar is intuitive. Based on this feedback, adjustments were
made to ensure the navigation links are always accessible.
o User Behavior: Using a tracking system (like Google Analytics or Django logging), I
observed that users spend more time exploring portfolio items than other sections of
the site. This suggests that the showcase is the most important part of the website, so it
should be easily accessible and rich in content.
o Responsiveness: I conducted manual testing and used tools (such as Chrome Developer
Tools) to ensure the website adjusts properly to different screen sizes. The design is
responsive, with no significant issues found across desktop, tablet, and mobile
platforms.

2. Contact Form and Data Handling

 Data Collected:
o Submissions from the contact form (user name, email, and message).
o Errors or issues with form submission (e.g., missing data, failed submissions).
 Analysis:
o Form Submissions: The contact form successfully collects user information and stores it
in the MySQL database. Based on testing, I ensured that invalid form submissions
(missing fields, incorrect email format) are caught and flagged with error messages. This
is essential for ensuring that the data collected is accurate and valid.
o Data Integrity: After each form submission, the information is checked for
completeness. The database was regularly tested to ensure data consistency and
prevent any duplication of entries.
3. Database Performance

 Data Collected:
o Database queries executed for retrieving portfolio items and contact form data.
o Response times for different queries (e.g., how fast the portfolio items load).
 Analysis:
o Database Efficiency: I monitored the performance of MySQL queries that retrieve data
for the portfolio showcase and contact form submissions. Through optimization of
database indexes and query structures, I reduced the average load time of the portfolio
page to under 3 seconds, which is ideal for user experience.
o Technical Analysis: The database structure, which includes tables for storing portfolio
items and contact form submissions, was designed for quick access. However, large
datasets were tested to ensure that as the portfolio grows, the website will continue to
perform efficiently.

4. Admin Panel and Content Management

 Data Collected:
o Administrative actions, including adding, editing, or deleting portfolio items.
o Usage statistics for the admin panel (how frequently the admin panel is accessed and
which features are most used).
 Analysis:
o Admin Panel Usage: Based on usage logs, I found that the most frequently used
features in the admin panel are adding new portfolio items and viewing contact form
submissions. This insight helped prioritize the development of a user-friendly interface
for managing content.
o Content Management Efficiency: The process of adding new items was tested by adding
and removing multiple entries. The system allowed easy management of content,
reducing time needed for updates or edits to the showcase.

5. Technical Performance

 Data Collected:
o Load times for each page (homepage, portfolio, contact form).
o Browser compatibility checks across major browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, etc.).
 Analysis:
o Performance Metrics: Using tools like Lighthouse, I conducted performance audits to
analyze page load times and suggested improvements. The website passed the
performance checks with an average load time of 2-3 seconds per page. I also optimized
images and scripts to further enhance speed.
o Cross-Browser Compatibility: I ran tests across multiple browsers to ensure that the
website renders correctly in all of them. Some minor CSS tweaks were made to ensure
compatibility with older versions of Internet Explorer, which were previously causing
layout issues.

4. Challenges in this project work Details of the bottlenecks,

challenges, and processes leading to unexpected results during
the project work and their solutions
1. Challenge: Requirement Clarity and Scope Definition

 Bottleneck: Initially, defining the exact features and design preferences of the client was
challenging due to a lack of clear specifications, which led to some ambiguity about the project’s
scope.
 Solution: To address this, additional sessions with the client, Kunal Ratlani, were conducted to
refine requirements. Wireframes and prototypes were created to provide a visual reference,
which helped in confirming design and functionality choices early in the process.

2. Challenge: Responsiveness and Cross-Device Compatibility

 Bottleneck: Ensuring the website’s layout and design were fully responsive across various
devices (desktop, tablet, and mobile) posed challenges, as initial designs did not render
consistently on smaller screens.
 Solution: Implemented media queries in CSS and adjusted flexbox and grid settings to improve
layout adaptability. Each page was tested across multiple screen sizes, with additional tweaks
applied to ensure readability and usability on mobile devices.

3. Challenge: Backend Form Validation

 Bottleneck: The contact form initially had issues with handling incorrect user input, which led to
errors when users submitted incomplete or invalid information.
 Solution: Enhanced form validation within Django by adding detailed input requirements, error
handling, and user-friendly error messages. This helped prevent invalid data submissions and
improved the user experience.

4. Challenge: Database Query Efficiency

 Bottleneck: As the site grew, the complexity of certain MySQL queries caused delays, affecting
load times, especially on pages with dynamic content such as the gallery and services.
 Solution: Optimized SQL queries by indexing frequently accessed fields and refining query
structures. Additionally, implemented Django’s caching mechanisms to reduce the need for
repeated queries, which significantly improved page load speeds.

5. Challenge: Managing Static Files and Images

 Bottleneck: Handling and displaying high-resolution images for the gallery while ensuring fast
loading times was challenging, as large file sizes can slow down the user experience.
 Solution: Compressed images to reduce their file sizes without losing quality and used Django’s
static files management to efficiently load resources. Lazy loading was implemented, allowing
images to load only as the user scrolls, further improving performance.

6. Challenge: Deployment and Hosting Configuration

 Bottleneck: Configuring the website for deployment presented difficulties, particularly in

managing dependencies and ensuring compatibility with the server environment.
 Solution: Researched hosting options and set up the deployment environment on a local server
