Your project must contain a minimum of eight
ten original HTML5 pages
(files) that you have written. A single HTML5 file with links to
nine pages written by other people is not acceptable.
You may not simply link to pages that you have already
written for this class. Your material must all be original.
Sample linkage diagram
You must draw a diagram showing how your pages link together, and the linkage must make sense. If you are not sure if your pages are linked together in a reasonable manner, ask the instructor. Send the diagram to the instructor. If you prefer to make your diagram by hand rather than using software, either scan it or take a digital photo of the diagram and send that to the instructor, or put it in his mailbox at the college.
Note: A linkage diagram is not the same as a diagram showing where the files go in a folder. Rather, it is a diagram showing how someone would navigate through your site. At the right is an example for a small site.
When you upload your files to the server,
all the files (HTML, images, etc.) for
your project must go in a directory named
project. You may create subdirectories if you wish.
The project directory must be inside the public_html directory. It may not be inside the assignments directory.
Your project must have a main page, and it must be named
index.html.
You must use at least four <img> elements,
and each alt attribute must be descriptive.
You must link to at least two external sites that are related to the content of your site.
You must use an external stylesheet to control the appearance of all your pages.
You may use embedded stylesheets to add extra presentation information to a page.
You may not use the <font> or
<center> elements!
Your pages must validate as HTML5.
You must have at least one <form>.
You must have at least two <table>s. At
least one of these must be used to present tabular data.
Grammar and spelling will count as 10% of the grade. (I will take off 2% for each grammar or spelling error to a maximum of 10% percent.)
Your pages must have some visual design “theme” to them. They should not look like ten different pages by ten different people. 5% of the grade will come from how “clean” the site is. (Yes, I realize this is subjective.) A clean layout does not have to be fancy or artistic. Look at these web sites:
None of these sites, especially the last one, will win a design contest, but they are readable and reasonably well laid out. On the other hand, this horrible site, well, it’s just horrible.
You may use multimedia (sound, movie, flash), but are not required to do so.
You may use imagemaps, but are not required to use them.
