Web Portfolio - Brief


In this assignment, you will design and build a website containing your FdA work to date, plus any existing work you feel you should include in your portfolio and biography information such as an ‘about’ section and/or a CV.  This will form the starting point to your portfolio website which you will keep up to date with new projects throughout the course. 
To make successful websites with working links you will need to thoroughly understand the folder system that structures your files. You will create a web project folder with your name and make folders within this that offer a sensible navigation structure.  These may be, css, images, scripts, working files.  Please note the index.html page MUST be loose at the top of the hierarchy not inside a folder.
You will use TextWrangler to create all HTML and CSS. The goal of this project is to further your understanding and abilities in hand coding HTML & CSS, therefore you will not be allowed to make any of this assignment in Adobe Dreamweaver or any other visual WYSIWYG editor.
Your site will be constructed as a single page with the different sections made visible using css positioning or by a hide/show or similar jQuery method. CSS3 animation or jQuery will give the smoothest and best results.
You will not use images of text in this assignment. All text elements must be live selectable text and styled using css. You will use either Google Fonts or @fontface for your text elements.
Images are restricted for content, header (masthead) decoration or sprites for use as background to navigation elements but all links must be text based.
