9:40 Attendance & Article
9:45 – 10:45 Web Portfolio & Website Hosting
Let’s talk Quiz – Bootstrap Basics from yesterday
Moving on…..
After break, you are going to code your own Senior Portfolio. The goal is to pull together some of your best work and host the content on a website that you will build.
Creative Industry people are busy. They want to see your work before they see you. Web Portfolios allow you to show off your best work as you approach potential employers, schools and collaborators
Our project deliverables are:
- Hand-coded website (you may use a CSS framework, but no WordPress) that best represents you and your work in HS (see content requirements)
- Valid and ADA compliant code
- Usability tested
- Custom domain or subdomain name
- Hosted by web service provider
- Presented to class
There are many sample student / professional portfolios, just do some Googling
- Nice and clean professional example
- A Game Design example – I give this one about a B-
- A one page scroll & parallax from a previous instructor
- An art student example
- Another nice display of work with resume
- A nice way to display and show work
10:45 – 11am – Break
11am – 12:10 Domains, Subdomains & Webhosting
After you select a domain name for the address of your website, you need to house your address and site on a computer somewhere – this is the function of a webhost. They give you a place to store your files and provide a variety of functions for you.
In many cases, Domain Name Service providers also can be web hosts – All in one.
Today we are going to set up a subdomain on a free web host service.
I’ve done some research and found (and tested) two free providers for students. 000Webhost and GoogieHost. We’ll use set up accounts with the latter.
Open a Google Doc. Call it Website Portfolio Info. Before doing anything, we need a place to record usernames and passwords. You don’t want to screw up this part. Plus – if you have a client, you would pass this information to them as part of your training package.
After we register and set up our request for sites and hosting, it will take about 24 hours for this host to get our domain and space set up. No Worries, we’ll come back to this.
12:10 Lunch (30 Minutes)
