Web Design Project with Weebly.com
Project Directions
Develop and design a personal and career portfolio web site. Your site should include information on many topics such as your hobbies, activities, talents, family, friends, education goals, skills, future job aspirations, etc. It can include personal photos (if you wish) or general photos of things you like that you find on the web through Google Images or Flickr Images.
* PLEASE NOTE - You DON'T have to include your last name if you prefer.
Again, personal photos are NOT required.
You MUST create the following 5 pages; HOME, PHOTOS, ABOUT ME, SKILLS, MY FUTURE.
Make sure all work included is appropriate for school, and future colleges wanting to see your work. (Many universities and colleges are looking at student portfolios as part of their admissions…)
