Overview
In this group assignment, you and your teammates will work together to create a
corporate website for a fictional company. You will have the opportunity to apply the
skills you learned in the course to design and develop a fully functional website that meets
the needs of the company and its users. Working in a group of 3-4 people, you will need
to coordinate your efforts and assign roles and responsibilities to ensure that the project
is completed on time and to a high standard. You will need to choose a company name
and create a branding strategy that is reflected in the design and content of the website.
Instructions
1. Form a group of 3 to 4 people. Choose a group leader who will be responsible for
coordinating the project and submitting the final deliverables.
2. Choose a company or organization to represent. This could be a real or fictional
company, but it should be a medium-sized business with a clear mission, values,
and target audience.
3. Conduct research on the company and its competitors. Gather information
about the company's history, products or services, customers, market position,
and branding. Analyze the strengths and weaknesses of the company's online
presence and identify opportunities for improvement.
4. Decide on the content and structure of the website. Create a detailed outline of
the different sections and pages that you want to include. Write compelling and
informative copy that reflects the company's values and messaging.
5. Assign roles and responsibilities to each group member. Decide who will be
responsible for developing the HTML and CSS code, who will handle the content
creation, who will oversee the project management, and any other roles that are
necessary.
6. Develop the HTML and CSS code for the website. Use the techniques and best
practices that you have learned in this course to create a well-structured and
semantically correct web page. Make sure to include appropriate HTML tags,
such as headings, paragraphs, lists, images, and links.
7. Style the website using CSS. Use CSS to add color, typography, layout, and other
visual elements to your web page. You can use an external stylesheet or embed
CSS directly in your HTML code.
8. Test the website for functionality and usability. Make sure that all links work
correctly, images load properly, and the overall user experience is smooth and
intuitive.
9. Host the website on GitHub or another web hosting platform. Make sure that
the website is fully functional and accessible from any device or browser. You
can use a custom domain name if you have one.
10. Submit your corporate website and GitHub repository. Include the link to your
website hosted on GitHub or another hosting platform in your submission. Make
sure that your HTML and CSS files are well-organized and properly commented.
