HTML+&+CSS+HW

HTML & CSS Homework
This assignment will get you familiar with HTML and CSS if you don't already know it, and you will use these technologies in redesigning a familiar website.
 * 1) If you don't know HTML, read the [|w3school HTML Tutorial] . If you don't know CSS, read the [|w3schools CSS Tutorial].
 * 2) Build a webpage with HTML and CSS that rebuilds the basic layout and interaction (color and underline change on mouseover of links) of [|www.cmns.umd.edu] . You must implement it so there is no or very little layout information in the HTML (it must all be in CSS).
 * No JavaScript is required - so you DO NOT have to implement the search or any interactive features.
 * You do not need to make the links go to the correct targets, but you do need to make them active links so the mouse over interaction works properly
 * 1) Build a second webpage that redesigns the page you in the previous step according to the various guidelines we have discussed so far, and what you now know about usability. Implement your redesign by ONLY changing the CSS from the implementation of the previous step. Note that if you originally used CSS for your layout, then you will be free to move things wherever you want.
 * 2) Write 2-3 paragraphs explaining what you felt was wrong with the original design and how your redesign addresses those problems.

Upload your solutions to a web server of your choice (i.e., UMD [|TerpConnect], private, commercially hosted, etc). The two solutions should have identical HTML except for including different CSS files

Since part of the goal of this assignment is for you to learn HTML and CSS, you should not copy the HTML or CSS from the original site. Instead, create it yourself by looking at how the site is displayed in a browser.

Evaluation Criteria:

 * 1) **(25%):** First page matches basic layout and interaction original site
