Web Page Assignment (Spring 2015) Points: 48 Step 1: Order and Download and install Xara Web Design 9 or 10 Premium and purchase Xara Web Design Tutorials. Be sure to safely store any passwords and your Web URL address. Step 2: Play with the package so that you are familiar with it. Go through the tutorials and practice what you have learned. Step 3: Construct a practice Web page and “play” with the tools that you have learned. Step 4: With the purchase of Xara Web Design 9 or 10 Premium you get a free domain name and 500 megabytes of storage on a host site. The host site and the domain name are supplied by MAGIX a company that now owns Xara. Your tutorials will show you how to set up the account. Be sure to remember any passwords. Use this link to get your Free Web hosting account. Then, use tutorials 36 and 37 to finish establishing your Web site. Step 5: Xara is a very powerful Web tool and this causes more complexity than some other weaker tools. YOU NEED TO PRACTICE THE TUTORIALS. The tutorials are very good and they will reduce complexity to simplicity. Step 6: Plan your Web project and get started. Step 7: Form a group of three or four.
