Your first webpage project!
- You are going to create a couple of webpages that link to each other (a home page and 2 sub-pages). You can either create a webpage on a topic of your choice OR attempt to re-create an existing webpage that you really like (and you can try to make it look similar or different).
- Step 1- we are all going to check out this helpful article about designing award-winning websites.
- Step 2- come up with an idea today and let me know.
- Step 3- begin to plan your site by sketching it out. This is includes the rough page layout (menu and sections) and the content of each page. Do this on paper!
