Resource Web Site
In this assignment, you may use the template files I've provided to create a website about your paper topic. You can (and should) modify aspects of the appearance-- typeface, color, border, content, images, etc--to work with your own content. You may also choose to modify your original project to meet the criteria below.
Site Requirements
- The files for your site should be uploaded to a www/igme110/2018new directory on banjo.rit.edu.
- The main page should be called index.html, and should include a title with the site topic and a relevant image, a brief overview of your paper topic, and your name.
- The site should use a consistent visual design, using principles of color, layout and typography discussed in class. The colors, fonts, and images should work together well.
- The main page should display properly at the URL http://people.rit.edu/youruserid/igme110/2018new/ (replace ‘youruserid’ with YOUR user ID!)
- The sources page should include a list of all image, text, and/or code sources that you used on the site, with links back to the source. It should also include a version of your paper bibliography with functioning links to the sources.
- Each of the pages should include at least one appropriate image (a photograph, a logo, etc).
- All pages must properly validate for both HTML and CSS. I will use the W3C HTML and CSS validators to check this.
Privacy
If you have concerns about privacy, I can provide you with a method to restrict access to the portfolio directory so that only RIT-affiliated users can view it. See me during my office hours for information on how to implement this option.
