2) You will turn in a folder, with a CD, with your name (written with a Sharpie), that has your working website on it
-all images used in the site, all the .html
pages, and CSS should be saved on the disc.
3) A printed resume( on good looking paper )
4) A printed business card ( on card stock )
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.
