Homework: Web Design
Scenario:
For this course we will be working on creating a functioning Website on the topic of your choosing. You will be creating a single site that is viewable on a desktop/laptop as well as on mobile devices. Your work begins by defining the kind of site you will create.
As the quarter progresses you will build on your concept, adding more elements to the site as each new topic is covered.
To help you frame your ideas, here is a list of requirements for the site:
1) Consistent design and color scheme Consistent navigation between parts of your site
a. An external CSS document to control these aspects
b. CSS applied to a single page
c. Use of inline styles
2) A minimum of 5-8 pages
3) At least three external hyperlinks
4) An email link with the subject filled in
5) A form (it does NOT have to connect to a database because that is beyond the scope of this class)
6) Properly placed images on at least three pages
7) The use of alert message on one page
8) JavaScript that adds value to your page. This could be mouseover events for navigation, a photo gallery, form field validation, performing a calculation in a form (such as adding tax or shipping), etc.
