Create a Vibrant “Happy Republic Day” Web Page

Introduction

Celebrating national festivals like Republic Day digitally can be fun and engaging! In this tutorial, we will create a stunning animated web page using just HTML and CSS. The page features a creative greeting message with gradient text effects to display “HAPPY REPUBLIC DAY” in the colors of the Indian flag, styled for an eye-catching appeal.

Below is the code and explanation to create this design.

HTML Code:

<div class="container">
      <span>HAPPY</span>
      <h1>REPUBLIC</h1>
      <span>DAY</span>
    </div>

CSS Code:

body {
      background-color: #000000; /* Black background for strong contrast */
      margin: 0;
      height: 100vh;
      display: flex;
      align-items: center;
      justify-content: center;
    }
    .container {
      text-align: center; /* Centers text within the container */
    }
    h1 {
      color: transparent; /* Ensures text color is invisible by default */
      font-family: "Poppins", sans-serif; /* Modern and clean font */
      background: linear-gradient(
        #ffa500 0,          /* Orange for the top 40% */
        #ffa500 40%, 
        #ffffff 40%,        /* White in the middle section */
        #ffffff 60%, 
        #00ff00 60%,        /* Green for the bottom section */
        #00ff00 100%
      );
      font-size: 6.25em; /* Large font for the word REPUBLIC */
      -webkit-background-clip: text; /* Clips background to text for effect */
      background-clip: text;
      -webkit-text-stroke: 0.01em #ffffff; /* Thin white stroke around letters */
    }
    span {
      font-size: 6.25em; /* Matches the size of REPUBLIC */
      -webkit-text-stroke: 0.05em #ffffff; /* Thicker white outline */
      color: #ffffff; /* Visible white text for HAPPY and DAY */
      font-family: "Poppins", sans-serif;
    }

Code Explanation

1. HTML Structure
   • The <div> with the class container holds the text elements (<span> for “HAPPY” and “DAY,” and <h1> for “REPUBLIC”).
   • Each text element is styled to be visually striking and aligned at the center.
2. CSS Styling
   • Body:
     A black background creates a sleek contrast for the vibrant text.
   • Gradient Effect:
     The gradient on “REPUBLIC” transitions through the saffron (#FFA500), white (#FFFFFF), and green (#00FF00) colors of the Indian flag.
   • Text Styling:
     -webkit-background-clip: text; ensures the gradient is visible only through the text.
     -webkit-text-stroke adds an outline to enhance readability.

Why This Design Works

The design emphasizes simplicity and impact. The bright colors of the Indian flag against a black background draw immediate attention. The balanced typography ensures the message is clear and festive.
