STUDENT CULTURAL FOOD WEBSITE TEMPLATE

Open index.html in a browser. Open STUDENT-EDITING-GUIDE.html for writing instructions, image sizes, image SEO guidance, and a final checklist.

This template includes 15 HTML pages, 27 menu prompts, 7 article prompts, and 50 lightweight SVG placeholders. It adapts to foods from any cultural background, including regional, mixed, and chosen-community traditions.

Replace bracketed headings, instructional paragraphs, captions, alt text, and placeholder images with your own work. Keep filenames and relative paths consistent. Update repeated content on all pages. IMAGE-DIMENSIONS.csv lists every placeholder and its dimensions.

PHOTO EXPORTS (width x height in pixels):
Home hero: 1440 x 960, target <= 200 KB
Menu and blog cards: 900 x 600, target <= 100 KB
Home / About story: 1000 x 1000, target <= 150 KB
Article hero: 1200 x 800, target <= 180 KB
Community / location: 1200 x 480, target <= 100 KB
Logo: 620 x 152, target <= 30 KB
Social icon: 64 x 64, target <= 5 KB
Favicon: 32 x 32, target <= 5 KB

These are project budgets, not search-ranking requirements. Use compressed WebP or AVIF for photos, descriptive filenames and alt text, explicit dimensions, and responsive exports. The current SVG placeholders scale without separate mobile variants.

The reservation form is a layout preview. It does not send or save entries. Social placeholder links lead to the editing guide until replaced. There is no external map or image service.

For students: edit HTML/CSS directly. Do not run the generator afterward.
For template maintainers: edit tools/menu_data.py and tools/build_theme.py, then rebuild with Python. The generator replaces generated HTML and placeholders. tools/package_theme.py creates output/student-cultural-food-template.zip, containing only the active site and guides.

The original restaurant photos and older tools may remain in the instructor's working folder for recovery, but no active page references them and they are excluded from the student ZIP.
