Transcript Tentative Web Page Assignment

Web Page Assignment (Fall 2014)
Points: 45
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
http://www.xara.com/us/hosting/magix/ 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. XARA DOES NOT RUN ON A
MACINTOSH without a product such as VirtualBox. (Oracle VM
VirtualBox is free and it will allow you to run Windows products.)
If you have only a Macintosh, you can also use Xara in the CBA lab,
1009.
Step 8: The team makes a 2-3 minute presentation:
This will be done in the last two class periods.
