‘My Own Site’ Project Brief
Although it is not part of the CLAiT course as such, you may have embarked upon the course with a view to designing and building a web site of your own, using DreamWeaver primarily.
So as self directed practice, you may design a site on a subject of your own choosing. It can be about you (such as an online biography or CV), about a personal interest or hobby, or about a business or organisation you are involved in (or one aspect of it).
You will be required to consider the steps below which constitute a recommended outline for planning a web site prior to actually building it:

1) Determine the subject and purpose of your site

2) Research its content and purpose with others if necessary (use your friends, relatives or classmates).

3) Plan the site. Producing a Site Map or Plan and if possible some individual page designs on paper.

4) Write the text content and save it to a word processed file.

5) Research and obtain picture material also saving this to disk for use in your site

   
Once you have completed the planning, you may then build the site in DreamWeaver. The site should incorporate certain basic design elements and web devices, which you have utilised during the practice builds of the Venice and Prague site tasks. Briefly, they will include…

A web page defined as the index page of your site

Pages having coloured backgrounds or using an image as a background

Pages built using tables as a basic grid or page structure

Internal links to other site pages

External links to other worldwide web pages

Email links – to automatically open up a blank, addressed message.

Links to page anchors

Text and graphics formatted to different sizes and colours


Other site requirements
Your site should consist of a minimum of three web pages
Your site should utilise images on at least one page
At least one of your site pages should have a minimum of 150 words of 'body text' (describing something relevant to the site's content/subject).
