Today’s topic is Project Planning, (see HTML and CSS Chapter 18 "Process & Design") FTP, (see Chapter 19 "Practical Information") and then time to work on the CSS framework.The process that we are going to discuss today comes from Web Redesign: Workflow That Works. Note that while this is about re-designing, it has become a standard that is “easily adaptable to new Web design projects,” to quote a review in Technical Communication.
Note that there is a similar set of steps at December.com. And this is useful to understand the process of design for clients.
Some other tips and suggestions:
- Each page is a separate html file. Relative links are then simply
<a href="resume.html">.- Consider creating a separate links page that annotates those links.
- Your site should have at least 300 words of text.
- Try the TARGET="_blank" and TITLE="Stuff written here" attributes for your links and also for your images (works better than alt="blah blah" in some browsers).
- Follow the CSS we did in class (now on USB only) based on the textbook file—you should have these basics down by now
- If your grid from the previous assignment is not working, look back at the Adobe page or my float example (that includes a footer).
