Project Assignment: Maxirain Website (Project "Maxirain")
Hi Rabab,
Just now, we, Jed Llenado and Engr. Abdullah Almansour decided to assign you to a separate, hands-on project: building the initial website for our newly acquired domain maxirain.com.
This is a great opportunity for your portfolio—treat it as your own creative showcase. You can build it independently, choose your preferred tools/style, and deploy it live. We'll review it together once it's up.
Project Goal: Create a clean, professional, modern website placeholder/layout for Maxirain. For now, focus on a simple multi-page site (static or with light interactivity) that looks like a real company in the irrigation systems, water-efficient technologies, or rain/water management solutions industry (think sprinklers, pipe sealing systems, smart watering, or elastomer-based water products). Draw inspiration from professional sites like Rain Bird (clean corporate feel, emphasis on innovation/water efficiency) or MOL Elastomer (technical/industrial look with product focus).
The Maxirain Website Project
Maxirain delivers innovative irrigation systems and high-performance sealing solutions to optimize water use in agriculture, landscaping, and infrastructure. Our products are designed for durability, efficiency, and sustainability. More text here will wrap beautifully around the image.

Back-End Tasks (Optional for Form Handling)
Back-End Checklist
- Implement working contact form submission

- Handle form data (e.g., send email or store)
- Add success/error messages on submit
- Ensure security (e.g., CAPTCHA if advanced)
Detailed Descriptions:
Contact Form: Make it functional—send emails or show success. Use Node.js/Express if backend, or serverless like Netlify/Formspree. Fields: Name, Email, Phone (opt), Message. Validation: Required fields, email format.
If using a framework like Next.js, integrate API routes. For static sites, use third-party services.
This is optional if keeping it fully static, but required for "working" form.

Framework/Tech Stack: Your choice! (React/Vite, Next.js, plain HTML/CSS/JS, etc.). Node.js for backend if needed.
Images: Use free stock from Unsplash/Pexels for irrigation themes. Host on Netlify or CDN.
Timeline: Basic version in 3-4 weeks. Share progress (screenshots, repo).
