All challenges will complete at 7 AM ET with reviews 7-9 AM ET and appeals 9-10 AM ET. Please keep this in mind when competing. There will be no final fixes.
This is the first time we are doing it at topcoder.
Project Overview:
Welcome to the Rolling Thunder - ZC Supplier Candidate Comparison Responsive UI Prototype Challenge! The goal of this challenge is to create an HTML5 Prototype application for Desktop based on provided storyboards for Poseidon Application. The prototype must follow our standards and our guidelines. Please see more details below.
As part of this challenge you will need to document all HTML5/CSS3/JavaScript code. We need clear explanation of the code to help us figure all the HTML5/CSS3/JS code functions and make it easier for future developers and the client to understand what you have built.
NOTE: This application is using Bootstrap 3 (http://getbootstrap.com/getting-started).
IMPORTANT: The client has some existing pages up and you can use them as reference to try and match their existing look and feel.
One example:

Tips for Success: Asking questions early and getting Copilot or PM's feedback is very important for the success of this challenge.
