Theory

   • Intro to Dreamweaver (includes links to making and using backgrounds, and tables)

A note about structure:
In the folder that you will store your web site in, create the default document that will open if no other document is specified... this is typically called index.html. Also create sub directories that will contain your content.

Example: exploring the contents of your lab8 folder:

index.html

pages
                 page1.htm or images.htm, etc.
                 page2.htm or documents.htm
                 page3.htm or media.htm
images
                 bg.gif (a background image)
                 artifact.png
                 artifact.jpg
media
                 audio1.mp3
                 video1.avi
                 video1.swf
docs
                 doc1.pdf
                 doc2.pdf
                 doc2.pdf

Thoughts on text format
Leverage your knowledge of word processors to use Bold, Italic, paragraph alignment, and formatting paragraphs, such as headlines. All of this is ABOVE the Page Properties when text is selected.


Thoughts on organization
You might want to use a table, as illustrated below.

Real World Example: (For advanced users: this effect may be also be achieved with frames, but the end result is the same)

Part 2, Activity (40%):

Planning (30%)

 • Create some sort of plan for your capstone web site on paper. You may make a Word document, or draw something and scan it;
     your plan should include what the index page (the page that opens when no other is specified... your HOME page) will look like and the links it will have;
     your plan should include what you want your color scheme and backgrounds to be;
     your plan should include what you want supporting pages to look like (try and keep a consistent look and feel); and
     your plan should include navigation, that is, how your user will get from index to various pages, and how they will get back to the index

Web site structure (10%)

Your web site structure must include a rough draft index.html, a pages folder, a documents folder, an images folder, and a media folder
(All other web pages will go in pages, all your pdfs will go in documents, pngs, gifs, and jpgs in images, and movies in media... you do not need everything copies over now, but I need to see the structure, and maybe that you have copied a few artifacts over)

To Zip, browse to the the location of lab8 folder (don't open the folder) and your 'plan' document
Right click the Lab8 folder
Choose Send To...
Choose Compressed (Zipped) Folder
 
You may rename the new zip by right clicking it.
The file name should be yourname-lab8.zip
