THE CASE STUDY FROM CHAPTER 3

Guidelines for all Case Studies

Unlike the exercises in the textbook, these Case Study assignments do not provide step-by-step instructions. Instead, the description for each exercise includes an illustration of how the page should appear in a browser, along with specifications, but now steps. These specifications are detailed enough for you to complete each exercise.

Before you do the first exercise, you’ll need to download and unzip the starting files for the website. These files are stored in a sub-folder named shape_up_exercises. The folder includes starting HTML and CSS files for the homepage, along with all supporting files such as text files, image, and media. HTML files with “under construction” messages are also included for all of the other pages that can be accessed from the menu that will be added later. The exercises will explain when to use each of the starting files.

The Instructions:

- Here is the PDF file with the instructions for Chapter 3.

- Extra HELP in deciding which elements to use, Click on JPG file

- Extra HELP in linking & uploading, in case you need it.

January 29
