Chapter B Group Project:
Developing a Web Page
Summary
In this assignment, you will continue to work on the Web site your group defined in Chapter A.
Review
In Chapter A, you created a storyboard for your Web site with at least four pages. You also created a local root folder for your Web site and an assets folder to store the Web site asset files. You set the assets folder as the default storage location for your images. You began to collect information and resources for your Web site and started working on the home page.
Guidelines
Depending on the size of your group, you can assign individual elements of the project to group members, or work collectively to create the finished product.
You will build on this Web site from chapter to chapter, so you must do each Group Project assignment in each chapter to complete your Web site.
