Tips for a Quality Website
- The website should look like it is done by ONE person. This is done by coordinating the look and layout between group members.
- If you have many facts, rather than make a long list, create several text elements and accompany them with many pictures.
- DON'T USE RAINBOW FONT! It's distracting.
- Make sure you can read the font and colors on your website. To check, stand back from your monitor about 5 feet. You should easily be able to read it.
- Proofread your work and check on the group's work, especially towards the end.
- If at any point, someone isn't doing their fair share, you should communicate it with that person and/or Mr. Cottone ASAP. Don't wait until last minute.
- Be creative and add things not mentioned on the rubric or in class to enhance your website.
