First Web Page Project

Your project is to generate a professional web site that could be used by a real company. My very strong preference is that you contact a friend or talk to a company where you work and get information about what the company would like - if this isn't possible then you will have to be the contact person at your fictitious company and wear two hats.

You need to decide on a look/feel for your web site and a goal or goals that you want to accomplish. Part of the project is to pass in a paper articulating this information. You should think through the navigation of the site and use techniques that you will make your site easy to work with. In addition, you must map your site - this should be passed in along with the project. This use of the term map means to provide a flow of the pages in your site. I will be putting out examples of this in a few days. There must be multiple pages or files associated with the site. Clearly you should be creating a masterpiece! However, given the time constraints you may have to settle for a little less!
To do this project you need to have a site on the web where you can install - if your carrier does not provide this service, you can go to geocities, tripod or a similar site that allows free web sites.

Contact me if you are having problems!

You will receive three grades for this project:

the first will be for creating a web site that conveys the look/feel and the goals you are trying to achieve and is easy to understand and navigate - your map will be included in this grade
the second will be for technical execution and sophistication - a site that successfully uses some of the more sophisticated things we have discussed will receive a better grade than one that uses only the basics
the third will be for successfully putting this site out on the web and doing some maintenance work on it - clearly I need to see the before and after to know that the maintenance was successful. You must tell me what you are planing to do prior to doing the maintenance.
