GWPTC DEPARTMENT OF WDDA Individual Assignments on Developing HTML & CSS PROJECT TITLE: BUILD YOUR OWN WEBSITE This project is a great way to solidify your understanding of HTML and CSS. Take your time, be creative, and enjoy the process of building your own online presence! Let me know if you have any specific questions as you work through it. Good luck! Here's a breakdown of how you can approach building your personal website using HTML and CSS: I. Planning and Structure (HTML): Think of HTML as the skeleton of your website. You'll use it to define the content and structure of each page. Here are some common sections you might want to include: ∙ Homepage (index.html): o Header: Your name/logo, navigation links (Home, About, Portfolio, Contact). o Hero Section: A prominent introduction with a photo, a brief tagline, and perhaps a call to action (e.g., "Learn More"). o Skills/Services: Highlight your key skills or services you offer. o Recent Work/Portfolio Snippets: Teasers of your projects. o Footer: Copyright information, social media links. ∙ About Page (about.html): o Header: Navigation. o Introduction: A more detailed description of yourself, your background, and your passions. o Experience/Education: Your professional history or educational background. o Skills Section (more detailed): A visual representation of your skills (e.g., using progress bars or icons). o Footer: Copyright information, social media links. ∙ Portfolio Page (portfolio.html): o Header: Navigation. o Project Grid/List: Showcase your projects with images, titles, and brief descriptions. Consider making each project clickable to a dedicated project page. o Footer: Copyright information, social media links. ∙ Contact Page (contact.html): o Header: Navigation. o Contact Form: Allow visitors to send you messages directly. o Contact Information: Your email address, phone number (optional), and social media links. o Footer: Copyright information, social media links. II. Styling and Layout (CSS): ☞ CSS is what makes your website visually appealing. You'll link an external CSS file (style.css) to your HTML to control the layout, colors, fonts, and overall design. Key CSS Concepts to Consider: ∙ Selectors: Targeting HTML elements (e.g., body, h1, .button, #hero). ∙ Properties: Defining the styles (e.g., color, font-size, margin, padding, background-color). ∙ Layout Techniques: o Flexbox: For creating flexible and responsive layouts, especially for navigation menus, skills sections, and image galleries. o Grid: For more complex, two-dimensional layouts. o Float (with caution): Older technique, can be useful for specific layouts but requires careful management. ∙ Responsiveness: Using media queries (@media) to make your website adapt to different screen sizes (desktop, tablet, mobile). ∙ Typography: Choosing appropriate fonts and styling text for readability and visual appeal. ∙ Color Palette: Selecting a consistent and visually pleasing color scheme. ∙ Transitions and Animations: Adding subtle effects to enhance user interaction. III. Project Requirements for Your Assignment: Your assignment might have specific requirements. Make sure to address these, but here are some common aspects that are often evaluated: ∙ Clear Structure (Semantic HTML): Using appropriate HTML5 semantic tags like <header>, <nav>, <main>, <article>, <aside>, <footer>, etc., to structure your content logically. ∙ Effective Styling (Organized CSS): Well-organized CSS with clear selectors and comments. Consider using a consistent naming convention for your classes. ∙ Responsiveness: The website should adapt gracefully to different screen sizes. ∙ Navigation: Easy and intuitive navigation between the different pages. ∙ Content Presentation: Presenting your information (text, images, portfolio items) in a clear and engaging way. ∙ Code Quality: Clean, well-indented, and readable HTML and CSS code. ∙ Functionality (Basic): While this project primarily focuses on structure and styling, ensure that links between pages work correctly. ∙ Creativity and Design: Show your personal style and design choices in the visual appearance of the website. IV. Steps to Take: 1. Plan Your Content: Decide what information you want to include on each page (text, images, projects). 2. Sketch Your Layout: Create a rough visual outline of how you want each page to look. This will help you structure your HTML. 3. Write Your HTML: Create the HTML files for each page, focusing on the content and semantic structure. 4. Style Your Website with CSS: Create the style.css file and start styling the elements. Focus on the overall layout first, then move on to details like colors, fonts, and spacing. 5. Test and Refine: Open your HTML files in a web browser and test how they look and behave at different screen sizes. Make adjustments to your HTML and CSS as needed. 6. Organize Your Files: Keep your HTML files and CSS file in the same folder (or organize your CSS in a separate css folder and link it correctly in your HTML). Tips for Success: ∙ Start Simple: Don't try to do everything at once. Focus on getting the basic structure and styling in place first, then gradually add more features and polish. ∙ Use Browser Developer Tools: Inspect elements in your browser (usually by right clicking and selecting "Inspect" or "Inspect Element") to see the applied CSS and debug issues. ∙ Learn Basic CSS Layouts: Understanding Flexbox and Grid will significantly improve your ability to create complex layouts. ∙ Look at Examples: Browse other personal websites for inspiration, but don't just copy them. Try to understand the design principles behind them. ∙ Comment Your Code: Add comments to your HTML and CSS to explain your code and make it easier to understand later.

I'll help you create a personal website with HTML and CSS following the project requirements. Here's the complete structure:
