All Chapters up to this point should be completed and turned in before beginning the 1st Assignment. Please plan to only spend 1/2 of class finishing book lessons, I'll then need you to move on to the new Assignment.
I will be walking around the room talking to everyone individually about what site you will be designing. Please have the original site up. Copy to your local drive any images you want to use and text that you would like to include. Have an idea of color choice. Know who your audience is.

3/06 - Work on 1st Assignment - On this day you should know what pages you need and what will be on each page. You will have started the layout of the first page.

3/11 - Work on 1st Assignment - On this day you will have completed the first page including the navigation bar. The first page can be the same or slightly different than the rest of the images. You can model your design after what you've learned in the book (that will be easiest). You may begin to insert content.

3/13 - Finishing 1st Assignment - On this day you will have the design for all pages completed and the content inserted onto each page. You may begin to insert your form on one of the pages.

3/18 - Final Day to complete Assignment 1. Use this day to trouble-shoot potential issues. Everything must work on your site. Copy your site to another computer and test if it runs properly before turning in to the Dropbox.
