IT 130: The Internet and the Web
Fall 2011
Assignment 8
Creating a Web site
Due Tuesday November 15 before 11:30pm
Overview
For this project, you will construct a simple Web site. It should
provide visitors information on a topic of your choosing. An example
topic might be a hobby, tips for new students, a guide to products
(e.g. computers, video games, cell phones), local stores
(e.g. clothes, shoes, music), restaurants (e.g. pizza, ethnic), or
anything for which you would have an interested audience. Keep in mind
that your final site should have roughly 5 to 10 pages. The content
of the site must be your original work and not copied from other
media. The site should include your quiz from last week and may
incorporate work from your previous assignments.
Requirements
- The main page should consist of links to at least four additional
pages. One of these pages may be your quiz.
- Reference an external style file in order to keep a consistent
look throughout your website.
- In addition to your quiz, use some advanced CSS or javascript to
improve the presentation of your pages. Consider the use of rollovers
for menu items.
- Your CSS file should be stored in a separate folder called
styles and any images should be stored in a separate folder
called images. We will discuss how to create relative
references to them in class.
- Have at least one person review your web site and take your quiz.
Revise your website based on your observations of this review. Your
grade will partially depend on how easily people can navigate and use
your website.
Deliverables
Using the D2L
submission site, tell me the URL of your main page.
