The Task: Create a Web Portfolio

Create a portfolio to showcase your work in this course and in your future courses.

1. Title Page / Splash Screen

This page is the front door. It should be the index.html page in your public_html folder. The content is up to you but this page should at the very least let the user know where they are and it should contain links to the other portfolio pages as well as external links for context where appropriate

2. About Page

This page should contain some information about you. This page will be public so its up to you what you choose to share but it could include a bio, your interests, your background, resume items, your career goals, etc. You could treat it more like a LinkedIn profile (resume info) or more like a facebook profile (more personal info) or a combination of both. Or if youre looking for less personal content, it could just contain some factual information where you were born, what classes you are taking, where you went to high school, funny quotes, etc.

3. Projects Page

This page will eventually contain links to the work you produce in this course or other courses. If you have done work outside context, you could link it here as well. If you did something cool, you could upload them and link them here. But if you dont have anything to share then for now you could just treat this page like a coming soon placeholder.

The Rules

1.All three pages must have a consistent look, achieved by linking to a common (external) style sheet, and by repeating content (e.g. use the same or similar header, footer, nav bar for each page). You should only use internal style sheets for styles that are unique to a single page.

2. All three pages should make effective use of images and CSS styles for colors, fonts, backgrounds, box model and positioning.

3. This is not a design course, but you should at least try to make the pages look good / professional as you can. Often a decent image can make a page look much more attractive or professional.

4. All CSS and HTML files should have a comment header with a one line description of the content of the file, your name and the date the file was created.

5. All CSS and HTML code should be properly indented.
