Technical Skills Module 2-- Dreamweaver

Assignment # 2: Web Presentation

Course Mark: 30 marks

Each of you will create a WWW presentation on a topic relevant to the course. This is an individual assignment. You may discuss ideas and strategies with your classmates, but all the actual work must be your own. The main purpose of this assignment is to give you a basic introduction to web page creation using hand-coding HTML and Dreamweaver. If you're already familiar with web page design this will probably be a very easy assignment for you. Even if you are completely new to web page creation the assignment should go relatively fast.

• For this assignment you must add content to these two pages so that both pages use each of these techniques at least once:
  • Page title
  • Coloured background [Design Module has links to help you find out about web colours]
    
    
• The name of the "first page" must be index.htm

• For this assignment you must add content to the two pages so that each of these techniques is used at least once [that is each techniques doesn't have to appear on both pages]:
• Picture
• Different font faces [such as Arial and Times Roman]. Be sure to use "web-safe" fonts so that I will be able to view them when I look at your pages. [Design Module has links to help you find out about web-safe fonts]
• Different size fonts
• Different coloured fonts
• External [absolute] hyperlink where text is clicked
• Internal [relative] hyperlink that links one page to the other page [probably the first page to the second, but this is up to you]
• Use of bullets for a list with at least three items [can be either an ordered list or an unordered list]
• Active email link with your "real" email address
  
• For additional credit you can use some or all of the following techniques:
  • External [absolute] or internal [relative] hyperlink where graphic is clicked
  • Insert and use a table
  • Create a bulleted list with bullets at different levels [that is, the second line is indented and uses a different bullet]
  • Insert additional images
  • Use an image as the background on one page [in this case the relevant page does not also need a coloured background]
  • Create one or more additional pages
    
    
• BOTH of the pages must have enough content to vertically fill the browser window approximately twice when they are opened. That is, when you open your page the right-hand scroll bar should be no more than about half way down the screen. For example see:
  
• Do NOT create pages with TOO MUCH vertical content. For example: http://www.ubc.ca/academic/fac_schools.html . I am NOT going to be counting lines folks, so don't get overly analytical about this requirement - if you have any questions or concerns just ask me.

Submission Instructions

• When you are finished with your design and modifications, ensure that FirstInitial_LastName directory and all its contents is in your own network space (Documents folder)
