COIS 3420 – Assignment #1 – Question 1 (This question must be completed individually)

Using what you’ve learned about HTML and CSS create an online CV/portfolio. This should be a

“website” with 5 relatively small pages, all linked from the navigation. Each page should have the same

basic layout (header,footer, nav, etc). The pages should include:

• Home – About You: A brief introduction (like a cover letter), contact details, and a

picture of yourself.

• Education: All relevant educational information. School names should link to

websites/programs if they have them.

• Skills: Tabular display of languages, operating systems, any other skills you want to

promote grouped in a logical manner

• Work Experience: Any company names should link to websites where available. Each

“experience” should contain an unordered list of duties/skills.

• Other: This could include volunteer experience, extra-curricular stuff, links to portfolio

style examples, what every else you think should be promoted

Outside of the above requirements, page structure and design is entirely up to you.

Although I expect that you will borrow sections of code from other places. I expect at minimum 70% of

your site to be original work. (This means it’s bad to use complete page template, but probably ok to

use someone’s example of styling a navigation). All code sources not original work must be

referenced.

Testing

You are expected to complete cross browser testing of your completed website, and should attempt to

fix any issues you encounter. However, your final submission should include a testing document which

outlines the browsers tested and any issues you encountered that you were unable to fix.

Submission

Your final submission should be a zipped file which includes your entire website directory (which

should include all relevant files (html,css,img) in proper subdirectories) and your testing document.

Please make sure all paths in your site are relative so that they will continue to work when I use unzip

your directory.

Marking

I’ll attempt to make a rubric available on Blackboard, but in the meantime:

Your HTML will be marked both on quality (clean, tidy, sematic, valid, accessible) and complexity (you

should make use of a variety of inline and block level elements)

Your CSS will also be marked on both quality (clean, tidy, valid, accessible) and complexity (variety of

style rules, good use of selectors, design effort)

There will also be marks for documentation, particularly in your CSS.
