(6) Start putting a general page together
Put up a very basic front page that introduces your site
and what will be contained here. You can inform the public
of what the page will be about, its purpose and goals, and
who is involved in its development. Use your creativity in
presenting this information, but to meet the learning goals
and other criteria of this class, it should contain:
- a) At least 19 basic HTML tags
- b) Some way for people to contact your team for input.
suggestions, or general comments or to share information
on relevant links and resources.
- c) A few graphics related to your site (one may be an under
construction sign or something similar). These graphics
can be from public domain sites, or you could venture to
draw your own!
- d) Post your team page for viewing.
If you choose to move away from a conventional page design
to reach new heights, so be it, just do it together as a
team. Ultimately, success in this class will be judged on
team effort and encouraging each individual to continue to
grow and share their knowledge. This class is no place for
the "knowledge hog." Sharing the experience of learning
will make us all better in the end.
Final pages will be reviewed critically for compliance with BOTH
goals of the class -- making a real "contribution" to the web and
the adherence to HTML standards and design principles. A special
"Web Award" will be given to the page we feel best represents or
fulfills the goals of the class.
