Lab14

This lab assignment is the start of the coding process in creating your final project.

The basis for this assignment will come from the last week's assignment, "Planning Web Project".

Your web site project must be a direct implementation of your planning assignment from last week.  Additional material and minor changes are acceptable.  Topic changes or major redesigns are discouraged.

Have your name in the title of the first page, or have your name in comments somewhere at the beginning of the html code of the first page.

The first page in your website should have the filename of "index.html".

All the pages in the site should have the same basic "look and feel" so that the site looks whole, complete, and professional.  Same "look and feel" means that in general, fonts, colors, layouts, etc, look similar and contiguous between all the pages on the site.

Be sure you are utilizing an external style sheet and all pages are using that external style sheet.

Make sure your site looks good at various resolutions.  Make sure your web site displays properly at an 1280 pixel wide resolution.  You can do this by resizing your browser window or changing the screen resolution of your computer for testing. Be aware that most people do not have their browser full width of the screen. Most people use about 2/3 width of the screen. On a 1920 pixel wide screen, that works out to be about 1280 pixels.

Things to keep in mind:

• This web project will be your final exam!
• Spend the time necessary to do a great job and to have a professional looking site.
• Consistent look and feel across the site. 
• Use your creative skills. 
• You may wish to incorporate graphics that you created in your other classes.
• Test your site thoroughly using multiple browsers. I suggest testing in Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and Microsoft Edge.
• This may be a project that you want to include in your portfolio.
• And most of all...  have fun!

Expectations for this week:

This week is for you to work on your website which will be your final project.

At this time I do not expect a perfectly polished website. There may be some minor details that still need to be worked out over the following week.

However, what I do expect, is that all of the pages to your website have been created and the menu links between the pages are functional.

Turning in your assignment:

• Set your browser to be approximately 1280 pixels wide. That will be about 2/3 the width of your screen.
• Take a screenshot of each of your website pages.
• Turn the screenshots in to the Brightspace D2L assignment dropbox as a single zip file.

Your instructor will go over your screenshots to make suggestions and improvements.
They will be graded promptly and feedback will be given.

Grading criteria:

Grading Criteria	Possible Points 20	Your Points 20
One browser screenshot per page of your website has been submitted. Since your website has at least 5 pages, there should be at least 5 screenshots submitted.	10	10
