Goal

Requirements

1. Your final business website should contain about 6 to 12 pages.

2. Your website must be uploaded to the students.depaul.edu server. This server can only contain about 12 Meg per account, so advance planning is necessary so that you do not run out of space. You may delete any examples or projects for which you already have a grade.

3. You must use either an external style sheet (css) or a theme to obtain consistant colors and fonts.

4. The navigation links for your site must either be at the top of each page or on the left (not at the bottom or right).

7. Each page must have a heading and a title.

8. Each page on your site must contain at least one image unless you have a good reason otherwise.

9. Images should be roughly 25K in size. Resize or crop images that are too large.

10. Your business website cannot be a copy of an existing website, even if you designed it or helped design it.

11. Do not plagiarize text from existing websites. Use the same rules for quoting sources that you would in a research paper. See the link to DePaul's Academic Integrity Policy in the course syllabus.

12. You may take images from existing websites without crediting them if they do not have copyright restrictions.

13. The subject of your Hobby Website cannot be R or X-rated.

14. After uploading the website, submit a Word Document with your name, submission date, name of project (Hobby Website), and a link to you business site. Do NOT submit pages from your website directly.
