"Project B" is Due : March 28

what you will turn in:
1) Have your site uploaded to a server before class
2) You will turn in a folder:
- all images used in the site, all the .html pages, and CSS should be turned in
( I will copy them to an external harddrive, so be prepared )
3) You will present your work to the rest of the class

Your grade will be determined by your ability to turn things in on time, and follow directions.
The grade for your finished project will be based on your attention to detail, and the overall look of the website.
All webpages designed for the site should have a consistent design or "feel".
All pages should be clearly labeled, have titles, and all the links should work.
Make sure your site is easy to navigate.
Your presentation will also affect your grade.

Good luck, and let me know if you have any questions.
