Title: Group Project - Setup for the Semester
Course: CGS 2820 Webpage Design & Development > Section: Module 2

Create a Web site for an imagined business.  The business must offer products or services for sale on the site. Choose your company carefully because this project will last the entire session. Your group must email your proposal to the instructor by the end of Module 3.

The site will incorporate all of the skills that you will learn in this course.  You will be able to build it from week-to-week throughout the term.  It will be due during the final module.

Project Site Contents

Your site must contain the following content in an organized way:

- Home page
- Three or more products with a product image, description, and pricing
- A page about the company
- A page with information on customer service/contact
- One or more pages on policies: shipping, returns, cancellations, privacy

Site Specifications

- The site design must be your own.
- The arrangement of text and images on each page should be attractive and well organized.
- Navigation is user-centered, well named and well organized.
- All pages are consistent in layout: navigation content, logo, etc. are always in the same place on a page. The color scheme is consistent throughout
- The text is large enough to read and contrast strongly with the background color. Each page must have at least one heading and at least one paragraph of text. The heading and text must be styled in CSS.
- There must be at least one external style sheet that controls the fonts, color, and other presentational elements of the Web site. There are at least 10 CSS rules in the external style sheet.
- Each page must contain at least one image.  Images are optimized for the Web, and not resized using HTML width and height attributes.  Pages must contain no more than 200 KB in images.
- Each page must have a logical <title> element that identifies the Web site and the topic of the page.  The home page title may include just the site name, but a tagline is helpful to explain more about the company.
- At least one page includes an ordered or unordered list, coded using the appropriate HTML list tags.
- At least one page contains a table of data, not for layout.
- At least one page contains a form.  It is okay if it does not function due to the lack of a corresponding database.  It must include at a minimum:
  - Some text above it identifying what the form is for
  - One text field
  - Two radio button or checkbox options
  - A submit button
- Each page must validate as HTML5.
