After you have completed your hard coding (subtask 02.01) and link to CSS (subtask 02.02), your main task will be to create a fuller, multi-level web site.

You may use any applicable tool to do this task. You may hard code your site using only a text editor, like Notepad or Notepad ++. You may use a familiar tool, like Microsoft Word, to create your site, paying close attention to the peculiarities of using a tool optimized for text as a tool to create web pages. You may use an html editor - any free editor or one of the editors in the lab such as Dreamweaver
You may use this as an opportunity to try out different things because the requirements for task success are fairly constrained and provide you ample experimental leeway.
You will have several models to look at for ideas. You may make your site exactly like the examples if you wish, but I hope that you will find this task useful enough to custom-build your sites to meet your own needs and design ideas.
You will create a web site for use in your work with this and other classes. In its structure, your site will look something like this diagram (which, coincidentally, is an image map so you can click on any page and go directly to it).
Pay attention to ITS's 14 Web Commandments (they are about two-thirds of the way down the linked page) as you design your site.
Keep your site consistent in look. If you don't choose to use a template, at least ensure that all the pages share a similar look in terms of backgrounds, font style and color, and use of bullets.
Don't overload your home page. Keep it simple so that it loads quickly
use hyperlinks (either as text or as linked image objects) to ensure the user can navigate throughout your site.
At a minimum, your home page needs to meet W3C validation for HTML and for CSS. When it validates, you may, if you wish, use the image that comes from W3C in the design of your home page.
When you create this site it is easiest to create it to a folder on your computer give the folder the name you want for your site and
then drag the entire folder up to your ISIS account.
If you wish to use your website as your personal website then you need to move the files (index.html, etc) and all folders directly into the
public_html directory on ISIS. Pay close attention to keep all file hierarchies so images show up and liks work.
After you have published your web site, send me a note telling me that it is ready for viewing and tell me your site's URL so I can find it. When I type in http://www.unc.edu/~<yourOnyen>/ or http://www.unc.edu/~<yourOnyen>/<yourFolderName> I should open up your home page. This means your home page should be named index.htm or index.html.
