Overview

Welcome to the Rockethacks Hackathon Website! This website is designed to represent the spirit of "Rockethacks," a hackathon inspired by the themes of rockets and space exploration. The website is built using Next.js, React, Tailwind CSS, and ShadCN.

1. Overall Design Concept

The website's design revolves around a space and rocket-centric theme, aiming to evoke the sense of outer space with visuals such as stars, planets, and rockets.

Design Elements

  • Theme: Space and rocket-themed, with background visuals and imagery to reflect outer space elements.
  • Colors:
    • Primary Color: Blue (used for backgrounds, buttons, and headings).
    • Accent Color: Yellow (used for highlights, buttons, and decorative elements).
  • Font: A clean, modern, and bold font is used throughout the website to match the tech-savvy and space-themed vibe.

2. Page Layouts

The website currently has three pages: Home/Landing Page, About Us Page, and FAQ Page.

  • Hero Section:
    • Displays a large rocket launch or space-themed background image/video.

3. Technologies Used
