 Tips for getting started:

  • Keep your outline handy for reference; modify if necessary
  • Keep your page layout simple. Choose a layout you used in another project OR modify one.
  • Consider creating a page with a header, footer, and one or two “middle” sections (similar to the last one we just worked on; you can modify the dimensions).
  • Set up your home page first. Think about the impression you want to make on people visually. Does your site look nice and is it easy to figure out what it’s about and how to navigate it?
