Building a Business Web Site using HTML

I would like you to plan, sketch out, and then build a three-page small business website with a Home Page, a Form page, a Product to sell or Service you are offering page, and a page with a table in it.

The Home Page and all pages you are building must have the following :

1) A navigation bar on the home page and every page.

2) A background color or image.

3) At least one photo per page

A Product or Services Page, with information about your product or your group.

A Form Page so that a reader can order products you may be selling on the site, or join your fan club / group, or to have them get more information about your business.

Ideas for sites – A local Electronics Store, an Official Fan site, a Hair Styling Shop, a Computer Repair Shop, a local Shoe Store, a Convenience Sore, a Sports Booster site for a local team, or a real type of local business that you would find on Main Street, USA. Please get Mr. Brass’s permission if you want to do something unusual.

Survey Project 2010 Assigned 4/09/10

Decide what your goal is first, what you hope to learn from the results of the survey.

Make sure you hand out the surveys to a representative sample of students in the school. (Male and Female, 9-12th grade)

It is extremely important for survey questions to be unbiased. Make sure your questions do not encourage a specific answer and that the questions are clearly stated.

Please use one of the following types of questions:

yes/no

multiple choice

open-end

scaled ( on a basis of 1-10, with 10 being the highest)

graded A,B,C,D, or F

strongly agree – agree – mot sure – disagree – strongly disagree

Follow these steps:

1) Choose a category for the survey. Write it down. Get approval from Mr. Brass.

2) Write down 8-10 questions and show it to Mr. Brass for ‘bias screening’.

3) Print up the survey and distribute it to ten various students in school.

4) Bring the results back, total the responses, and draw a conclusion. Submit a short paper with the completed questionnaires attached.

Some suggested topic areas : the school website, the hallways between classes, school rules, cell phones, cigarette smoking, after school jobs, cars, homework, Senior Class activities, teachers, courses, computers (school or home,) or summer jobs.

Desktop Publishing Project – The Six Part Brochure

Due 3/10/10

a) Select Your Topic – Choose from a retail store (clothing, electronics, food, or music,) an activities program ( like Raw Arts, Girl or Boy Scouts, Marital Arts,) a sports team, or a summer camp. It can be real or fictional.

b) Take a blank piece of paper, fold it with 3 edges, and use it to sketch out what will be in each of the six pages.

c) Try to organize the information to flow logically. The front and back covers ( pages 1 and 6 ) are on the outside and get seen first by the recipient. The inside three pages (pages 2, 3, and 4) can be used as one large section. Page 5 works best as a ‘form’ page for ordering.

Hints: Don’t overdo the text without saving space for graphics. Remember the quote “A good picture is worth a thousand words”. I recommend three to four pictures or graphics. Include color in your brochure. (The best brochures will be reproduced in color by Mr. Brass.)

Page 1) Use page 1 to identify the brochure and create interest about the product or service. Make the name stand out. This is definitely a good place for a photo or image.

Pages 2-4) Use page 2, 3, and 4 to describe the product or service and what makes it outstanding. Again, photos or images are important here.

Page 5) Use section 5 for a customer order form, response form, or sign-up form. For example, if your brochure is about a football team, then put in an offer to sell game tickets to the person who picks up the brochure. If it’s a store, the customer can put their name on the mailing list. If it’s a camp, the customer can fill in registration info.

Page 6) Set up page 6 sideways with a mail address, and return address listed, so you can put a stamp on it and mail the brochure.

Good Luck

100 points total = 10 points for printing pages in correct order. Up to 15 points per page for correct and appropriate grammar, spelling, image, and theme .
