Website Assignment

At the end of the semester when your website is complete, it should demonstrate that you know and can effectively use the html tags you have learned in this class.

Check for misspelled words, grammatical errors and typos
Make sure your html is correct and includes all 8 basic tags
Have a comment code with your name in your HTML for each page.
Your index page should be a brief introduction to your website with links to your other 3 webpages. It should be interesting and make someone want to continue clicking on your additional links to your remaining pages. The purpose of your website should be obvious on your index page.
Each of the remaining 3 webpages need to be thorough and impressive. Just a title and an image are not enough to count as a webpage. Using the same webpage and changing the images is not what I am looking for. I want 3 entirely different pages/layouts/text that all tie into the theme/purpose of your webpage.
Each of your additional webpages should have a link back to the index page.
Make sure all links are working correctly and all images are displaying correctly
Include alt attributes for all of your images.
Include height and width attributes with your images so they will load faster
Your graphics should be under 40 KB at least. (40 KB per graphic) If Internet students do not have graphic software to reduce any large graphic files, you may come to the WTC lab. If you are a VCT students and this is not an option, please email me.
Each webpage should have a title element included (title in the head section of your webpage)
Your colors should be attractive and complimentary to your background and images.
Make sure your text is not difficult to read if you use backgrounds images. Insert your text into a table if it is blending in with the background
Hyperlinks and visited hyperlink colors should stand out and not blend into the background. High Contrast!
Make sure any graphics you use compliment your webpage
Check your webpages from Netscape and Internet Explorer to make sure they display correctly in both browsers
Check Appendix C for a list of tag elements/attributes we will have covered by the end of the semester. (You will not be required to include frames, forms or image maps on your final website but you should plan to include a demonstrations of the other HTML elements in the appendix) I will be looking for where you have demonstrated a type of list (ul, ol or dl), a table, a horizontal rule in addition to the other HTML elements in Appendix C. It would be impressive if you used many of the attributes with these HTML elements.
