Habitat for CS Website Project

Using good web-design criteria (info to be posted soon,) take one or two pages from the CS web-site and turn them into "killer" pages. You may also decide to take information from different pages and turn it into one page. Naturally, feel free to design pages that contain info that is not currently housed in the CS site. Also, while you are at it write down (for a later class discussion) any other proposals for improvements or additions to the CS website.

For now, you are restricted to using HTML only, in particular no scripts. (Although when we review the pages, you can feel free to suggest how you would augment your pages with scripts.) You are encouraged to include pictures. If they do not exist yet, put in a note about what sort of picture you would like to include. If someone has a digitial camera that they would like to bring in so as to take some snapshots or let other people take snapshots, that would be great. Feel free to create your own images also.

In order to not impede on creativity, I will not impose any style criteria. We will do that at a later time.

I will soon post a link to a script to which you can submit URLs to pages that you created. Please submit your work early. This eliminates too much duplication. Check the list before you do stuff. Also, check it to get ideas. This is how the web works, you use good ideas that other people created. Naturally, people who had good ideas that are copied by other people will be identified by way of being earlier on the list and will be properly recognized when it comes to grading this project. The day after the deadline, we will have a look at everything and try to put it together. How we put things together, we'll decide at the meeting.

Feel free to copy any information that is out there and then modify it. Please do not mess up any files that currently are part of the CS web-site, by editing them directly. Naturally, put in links to pages that you think are ok or over which you do not have control.

Due deadline: Wednesday, December 15th, midnight. We will review the sites on Thursday. This homework will be graded. Its main purpose is to practice your HTML authoring skills as well as applying good web-design principles. For these reasons, I would like you to work on this project by yourself.
