Resource Web Site
In this assignment, you will create a website in which you provide information from or related to the topic of your paper. It should not simply be a reworking of your paper, but rather a resource guide related to your paper topic.
Site Requirements
- The files for your site should be uploaded to your www/igme110/2018project 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 main page should display properly at the URL http://people.rit.edu/youruserid/igme110/2018project/ (replace ‘youruserid’ with YOUR user ID!)
- There should be a minimum of three pages in addition to the main index page: two with descriptions of and links to resources related to your paper topic, and a sources page that details how you made the site (including links to the sources of any images or code that you used)
- Each of the pages should have a navigation bar with links to the other pages on the site
- Each of the pages should include at least one appropriate image (a photograph, a logo, etc).
- You may use templates and/or code libraries from other sources, provided that they are explicitly made available for re-use, and you clearly indicate and link back to what you used on the sources page.
- All pages must properly validate for both HTML and CSS. We will use the W3C HTML and CSS validators to check this.
You may use external sources for templates or specific aspects of your code; however, if you do so, you MUST provide a citation to that source, both in your source code (through HTML or CSS comments) and on your sources page. You also must make meaningful changes to the template so that I know you understand how it is constructed.
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.
