Static Website

Assignment Description

In this assignment, you will create a small website. The site can be about whatever you want.

 

Part 1: Markup

First, decide on a topic for your site, and what each page will be about. The content itself doesn’t have to be too extensive: you should have at least three pages with a reasonable amount of content on each. We won’t mark the content, but you need to have something on your pages so you can demonstrate and practice your skills at HTML and CSS.

Create an HTML file for each of your pages. Each page should be saved with a .html extension. All of the pages should be linked together so a visitor can navigate between them.

Your content should have enough variety that you use several different tags. You should use 6 or more different tags inside the <body> (of all the pages combined).

Check your pages to make sure they are valid. If there are any errors, fix them. (You don’t have to worry about warnings, just errors.)

 

Part 2: Style

Create a CSS style-sheet for your site. All of the pages should link to the same external .css file.

Make sure the HTML pages reference this style-sheet with the <link> tag.

Your CSS code should demonstrate that you have a reasonable grasp of what CSS does. You should make a reasonable variety of changes: several different changes to several elements of the HTML.

You may find it necessary to go back and edit your HTML pages to add new tags or classes. That’s fine: it’s part of the process.

Run the validator on your HTML pages one last time, to make sure you didn’t introduce any errors while doing this part.

 

Notes:

If you use any images or other content from somewhere else for any of your work in this course, you must provide a reference. Anything that isn’t 100 percent your own must be referenced. It doesn’t matter how the referencing is done as long as it is visible somewhere on your web page (not only in an HTML comment). Someone looking at your page should be able to figure out where that content came from. If you don’t create the reference, it is academic dishonesty.
