Website Coding

Overview

In this unit, students build on the web programming unit they covered last year through revision of basic webpage design and styling through development of a complete, functioning static website using inline and external style sheets, hyperlinks, images and colour schemes. Finally, students produce a report for assessment using compressed folders, an online platform and a written report.
