• Formatting the Web Page: You must use the following guidelines when formatting your web page.
   
  1. Background Color/Background Image: You must choose a background color/image that is pleasant to look at. If you use very dark colors for the background, the information will be hard to read.
  2. Font Style and Color: The font style should be readable. Times New Roman and Arial are good choices; although, you may use what you like.  Also, the font color should contrast with the background color so that the information can be easily read.
  3. WordArt (or other Image Generator): You may use WordArt for titles. Make sure that the colors you use contrast with the background. You should not get very fancy with the WordArt because it can be distracting. It is best not to include shadows and other special features of WordArt.
  4. Tables: You must use one table with or without borders.  Remember, tables will aid you in spacing graphics and data on your pages.
  5. Borders: Borders help the reader follow the flow of the text. But, you must remember not to use too many. As with many special features, too much can be distracting.
  6. Graphics: You must have at least four (4) graphics. The graphics must be appropriate and relate to the topic of the web page.
  7. Sounds: Sounds must be appropriate and relate to the web page topic. Remember that too much sound can be distracting. You are not required to have sound on the web page. The computers in the labs are not equipped for sound.
  8. Clipart:  Clipart maybe used for effect.  One animated clipart is required.
  9. Divider/Horizontal Rule: You must use at least one divider/horizontal rule on your web page.
  10. E-Mail Address: Include your e-mail address so the instructor can send comments or suggests about your web page.
  11. Optional components: You may use bookmarks, text highlighting, hover buttons, marquee, any DHTML effect or themes for your web page.  For extra credit you may use frames (with all links opening to a full page).
  12. References: Any information, sounds or graphics that are downloaded from the Internet must be appropriately cited; however, if you are using free materials citing is not necessary. Follow the guidelines for Citing Internet Resources.
