A company called Crazy Eddie Electronics has come to us in need of help.Crazy Eddie would like to move his business into the 21st century, but he doesn't know how. He knows he wants to build a website,but he doesn't know the first thing about how to do this.He has decided to crowdsource this problem to the studentsof
AD648,and he'l give $1 million USDto the person who can design the best site for Crazy Eddie Electronics.
Eddie has somevery particular design specifications that he needs you to follow. They are:
1.Inside the body of the document,be sure to add the following information:
a.Crazy Eddie's store location
b.Crazy Eddie's store hours
c.Crazy Eddie's store contact information
2.Crazy Eddie apparently likes pictures,and he has asked that you please include at leastthree pictures on your site.Include three pictures of electronics items for sale.These pics should be from somewhere on the web.
3.Crazy Eddie has asked that you include atleast six paragraphs on the page that describe items
that are sold in his store.Remember,he is a little bit crazy.He wants each of these paragraphs to be written in a separate font,with a separate color,and in a separate size.You do not need to write long paragraphs--one sentence per paragraph is fine.In HTML,paragraphs go between the and tags.
4.Crazy Eddie has asked that you include at least two lists on the page.These lists can be ordered or unordered.
5.Crazy Eddie has asked that you include a table on your page.You can use this to describe anything related to his business.
6.Crazy Eddie is so crazy that he's guaranteeing that he can be beat the prices of any competitor He's so confident that he can beat their prices,he has asked you to include links to three of his competitors somewhere on the site.
To submit this assignment,you'll upload your .HTML file into Blackboard.If Blackboard doesn't allow you to upload it,you can try uploading it as a.ZIP file instead.Here is a link 4Ways to Make a Zip File-wikiHow to a tutorial about making a.ZIP file.
The most important thingsto keep in mind for thisassignment:
●The goal of this assignment is to expose you to HTMLand web design not to stress you out.Any truly
good-faith effort to learn fromthis and have somefun in the process will earn you a good credit for this part of the assignment.This is not a website design class.Even if none of your HTML seems to be working,just
submit what you've done,andyou will receive credit.
o NONE of this must be realistic."Mars"is a completely fine store location.
●SublimeText isfree to download,and a good tool to use for making and editing an HTML file.So is Text Wrangler.Both are completely free HTMLeditors.They are awesome.If you use TextEdit,expect formatting problems.When using a program like Sublime Text,you can use the"Save As"feature to indicate that your file should be an HTMLfile.Save it to your desktop,oranother folder that you use often.When you click on the name of thefile,itwillopen inabrowser.
●Every question you could possibly have(e.g.How do l puta list on a web page?What about a table?)can be answered here:http://www.w3schools.com/html/default.asp .You can also e-mail Prof.Tomic or your assigned Facilitator anytime withany question.
●Each student is required to submit his/her own Crazy Eddie page,but by all means,use any resource available to you--other students inthe class,Google searches,the"Crazy Eddie FAQ"video on our class Blackboard site,etc.
This is some HTMLcode toget you started--you may run into formatting problems if you copy and paste this,so I suggest typing itinstead:
Title of thedocument<<b>/title</b><b>></b><b> </b></head></p><p ><body></p><p >The content of the document...</p><p ></body></html></p><p><br /></p>
