Dreamweaver Final Project Requirements


DW Cover


This page should be linked to both your HW.htm homework page and your final project. EACH COMPETENCY must be linked to at least one place in your final project that shows the successful demonstration of this requirement. Use an anchor link to the demonstration destination AND modify this page to have a text description in the required competency column explaining where and how you've demonstrated this competency.

 



Name of Designer: ____________________________________________________
  Required Competency Details of How/Where the Competency is Used

Consistency of design elements, theme, color, energy, iconography, content, etc. Your final will be one cohesive professional site. It will NOT be linked pages of homework assignments demonstrating use of these competencies. You are learning to create and manage a WEBSITE, not just making .html files that link to other .html files. Generally, limit use of fonts to 3 font faces.

 
Consistent and intuitive of navigation throughout the site.  
Link all pages to an external style sheet and upload to the same directory as your final and name it:
http://krypton.fhda.edu/cast074a04w/yourname/final/final.css
or whatever our UNIX account course ID is for this quarter. The name of the .css file does not have to be final.css but it should be relevant to your project.
 
A minimum of six pages, each with unique content (at least three paragraphs per page) AND page titles assigned to each page. All pages much have meaning to the site and not just be a demonstration of a required competency.  
META description and keyword tags in heads of every page. Include a link to a sitemap.xml for this project.  
Named anchors:
A- include an anchor from a link on a page to anchors within the site on other pages AND
B- include an anchor from a link on a page to another location within that same page.
 
Email links that open an email client like outlook or eudora, etc.  
3 related external links targeted to open a new browser window. - related means related to the content of your site, not just links to search engines, etc.  
At least one ordered, unordered or definition list.  
At least one DW formatted table using a modified DW Table Format Command from the Commands Menu - Format Table... feature.  

Use at least one functioning form for ordering, contact info, feedback, etc. that will be sent to you through a hosted service like formmail or through cgi or php via the action button on the form.

Include all these form elements in the form: textbox, textarea, radio button sets, checkbox sets, menulist, submit and clear buttons. Have your classmate buddy submit the form to you to verify that it works. The form must function and send the data to your email address. Be certain it works before uploading to me. Do NOT put a jump menu on the same page as another form.

 

Include a Flash Video as in Lesson 7.

 

Include an iframe. (If you use a Google Element for this requirement at least do two). An iframe will receive 5 to 10 extra points. A Google Element will receive 5 points.

 
Behavior 1: An example of layers with invisible and visible properties (show/hide) properties. Make it a cohesive part of your site that makes sense. Describe in detail what you are doing with the layers.  It's often NOT obvious to me when I review your projects.  
Behavior 2: Image rollover  
Behavior 3: one pop-up window fixed width 600 pixels, with no toolbar, no menu, no scroll - see Homework for Lesson 11 (this is NOT the same as a javascript alert box). Use the onClick event handler NOT the rollOver handler.  
Pull down menus are OPTIONAL in COIN74A but tell me if you used them.  
At least 1 jump menu that is NOT on the same page as another form.  
An image map created in Dreamweaver with functioning links and obviously defined hotspots. Make it an integral part of your design rather than just submitting an unrelated image map to fulfill the competency.  
Urchin or other tracking code on each page will receive 10 extra points!  
An RSS feed attached to this site will receive 10 extra points!  
Your final project should be in a directory called final in your public_html unix web space. Please create that directory if it doesn't exist. Call the entry html file within the final directory: index.htm. This will be your homepage.

Your link to your final will be similar to: http://krypton.fhda.edu/cast074.04w/yourname/public_html/final/index.htm. The course ID number changes each session and yours will be similar to coin074.04w. Or use the shortcut method: http://krypton.fhda.edu/~yourname/final/index.html

BROKEN LINKS: Check all your links before submitting your final. Use DW Link Checker (Site Tools). No broken links please! Have a classmate or colleague review your code from a computer other than yours to be certain there are no broken links or images.  

BROKEN IMAGES: Check all your images. Have a classmate or colleague check your site from their on-line and connected computer to ensure all images show. Often images are stored in your computer's cache and will show in your browser even if they are no longer properly linked. By uploading and viewing on another computer, you can check to be certain all links and images are working. Do not submit a final that has any broken images or other objects.

 
Includes all behaviors  
DEDUCTED POINTS for broken links or images, late submissions, not following directions
