Created page with "Student web pages should follow these conventions: == Local root folder == All of your web page files (the HTML documents, CSS documents, image files, etc.) go in a folder k..."

New page

Student web pages should follow these conventions:

== Local root folder ==

All of your web page files (the HTML documents, CSS documents, image files, etc.) go in a folder known as the [[local root folder]] (or various similar names).

* '''Local''' because it's on your local computer (as opposed to '''Remote''' -- the web server)
* '''Root''' because it contains your [[Home page]], along with sub-folders

== File naming conventions ==

* Always spell file and folder names as specified in exercises
* Where not specified, your choice of file and folder names -- but see file naming restrictions below

== File naming restrictions ==

Names of files and folders:

* Must begin with a letter
* Must be letters which have keys on a standard keyboard
* Must not contain space characters
* Must not contain any of the following characters (unless you can justify why you need it):

<code>~ @ # $ % ^ & * ( ) { } [ ] | \ / ? < > , : ; </code>

Acceptable (other than first character in name):

* Numbers
* Hyphen <code>-</code>
* Underscore <code>_</code>

Note that the neither the hyphen nor the underscore is a "dash". There is no "dash" key on a standard keyboard.

== Web page styles ==

All of your web pages must:

* Use [[responsive web design]]
* Use [[Bootstrap (framework)|Bootstrap]] or some other CSS framework
* Be legible

Use consistent styles and layout across your site.

Be creative -- express yourself -- design and decorate to suit your own taste

== Web page title ==

Each web page should have a unique title, consisting of two elements and a separator:

<code>Your Name - Page Subject</code>

Or, if you prefer:

<code>Page Subject - Your Name</code>

Popular separators include <code>-</code> and <code>|</code>

See [[Title (HTML)]].

== Standard page content ==

Standard page content:

* Your name
* Title of exercise
* Link from exercise to Home page

== Site navigation ==

On your Home page, make links to all of your exercises.

On your individual exercise pages, make a link back to your Home page.

Some exercises will consist of two or more web pages; it may be convenient to make links between these pages.

There is no need to make page-to-page links between all of the pages.
