Now it’s your turn to apply what you’ve learned. The lab procedure introduced the basic tools you need to begin building a website. You are encouraged to extend your work by consulting the W3Schools HTML and CSS tutorials and documentation.
If you use outside resources, cite them. A simple list of URLs is sufficient. You may reuse or adapt the HTML/CSS you created earlier in the lab.
Required Components¶
Your website must meet the following minimum requirements.
| Category | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Theme | Create a personal website that introduces you. Possible focuses include academics, hobbies, clubs, family, or pets. Choose a focus that helps present who you are. |
| Landing Page | Create a landing page named index.html that introduces you and briefly describes the purpose or content of your site. |
| Additional Page | Include at least one additional HTML page beyond index.html. |
| Internal Link | Include at least one internal link from index.html to your additional page. |
| External Link | Include at least one external link from any page on your site to a different website. |
| Image | Include at least one image on any page, and provide appropriate alt text for accessibility. |
| Style & Formatting | Use CSS that contains at least two declarations and is applied across multiple pages to create a consistent visual style. |
These are minimum requirements. You are encouraged to be creative and go beyond them.
W3Schools provides helpful tutorials and examples for HTML and CSS, including menus, tables, and layout techniques:
You may adapt code or styles you find online, but you must credit your sources by linking to them. Experiment and explore different design ideas.
How to Submit¶
Place all website files in a single Google Drive folder.
Verify that sharing permissions allow your instructor to view the folder.
Submit the Google Drive folder link on Canvas.
