Website Design and Presentation Research Research similar websites to the style you are building for inspiration. Gathering ideas from the multitude of websites and themes out there is always a great place to start crafting your own concept. Really explore these websites, click for links – look for smart choices, look for errors, look for things that break or do not work the way you would expect to guide your website planning. Also note websites that you liked for use in your presentation.
Presentation Requirements Each student will prepare a 10-20 minute presentation that will walk us through their website and will include the following:
Show a series of websites that inspired you to choose specific features (show examples)
Explain your overall design concept
Explain why you chose certain features and show us each feature chosen
Detail the steps you took to make your website user-friendly
