-# Web-Tech-Lab-Task-1-registrationForm
+# Web Tech Lab Task 1
+
+This repository contains the solution for the first Web Technologies lab task. The goal is to practice core HTML tags by recreating the layout of a donation/registration form.
+
+## Project Structure
+
+- `registration.html` – main submission replicating the multi-section donation form with donor, honorarium, and additional information panels.
+- `LAB TASK 1.pdf` – original lab brief with the reference layout.
+
+## Getting Started
+
+1. Ensure you have a local web server set up (for example, XAMPP as used during the lab).
+2. Place the project folder inside your server root (`htdocs` for XAMPP).
+3. Open the form in a browser:
+   - `http://localhost/PATH/registration.html`
+
+You can open the file directly in a browser as well, but hosting it locally provides a closer match to how course submissions are typically reviewed.
+
+## Features Implemented
+
+- Semantic HTML structure with separate sections for donor information, memorial details, and additional preferences.
+- Input controls covering text fields, select elements, radio buttons, and checkboxes.
+- Layout styling with CSS to mirror the reference screenshot, including inline option groups and responsive spacing.
+- Required field indicators aligned with the brief.
+
+## Customization Tips
+
+- Update select options or placeholder text to match your institution or organization.
+- Adjust styling in the `<style>` block within `registration.html` to fit alternate branding or color themes.
+- Split the CSS into an external stylesheet if you plan to expand the project beyond the basic exercise.
+
+## Validation and Testing
+
+- Open `registration.html` in modern browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Edge) to confirm layout consistency.
+- Use the browser developer tools or the [W3C Markup Validation Service](https://validator.w3.org/) to verify HTML compliance.
+- Toggle each control to ensure alignment and spacing remain intact when checked or filled.
