Final Project

Students enrolled in the course for graduate credit200 site + 50 report = 250 totalA minimum of 10 original HTML documents.One of these pages should utilize a CGI script.HTML should validate with the W3C's HTML ValidatorIf you use CSS, your CSS should validate with the W3C CSS Validation ServiceYour site should be done well -- with the attention to details that will set your pages apart from the hastily-produced site. For example, titles should be chosen well (do they stand on their own?). Your pages should be "friendly" to search engines (have you used META tags for keywords and descriptions? do any frameset documents use the NOFRAMES element?). Have you used height and width attributes for images to improve rendering performance?The report should contain two sections: A brief statement about the purpose of the site and its possible future direction. Briefly (3 to 5 sentences) restate the goals and purpose of the site. Briefly (3 to 5 sentences) describe how you envision the site could grow to better suit these goals and purpose.
A discussion of the technical and design implementations of the site.
This part of the report should be suitable to provide to the technical person who will be maintaining the site (this may be you, so this is worth doing well!).
Suggestions for possible issues to address: What solution did you implement for site navigation and why?What version of HTML did you use (3.2, 4.0 Strict, 4.0 Transitional, some other DTD?)What cross-browser and/or cross-platform issues arose, and how did you solve them? Are the pages suitable for text-only browsers? Are the pages suitable for "older" generation browsers (NS/IE 3 and below)?Did you use a template for your pages? (if so, provide the URL of the template).Did you use CSS in your site? (not necessary, but if you did, tell us about it!)Did you use SSI statements and "include" files? (if so, provide the URL of the "included" files).Did you use META tags to provide keywords and descriptions for search engines?Are any parts of the site under access control?What are the download times for your index page and for one of your larger pages for a user with a 28.8 or 56 K modem?Does your site have a customized "404 Not Found" message or other customized pages for a non-200 response?Does your file structure allow for easy expansion of the site?Have you used any directives within ".htaccess" files to customize the behavior of the Web server within your site?Are there other interesting things about how you implemented the site that we should note?
