SWIN BUR NE Swinburne University of Technology School of Science, Computing and Engineering Technologies SWINBURNE UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY COS10026 Computing Technology Inquiry Project Assignment Part 1, Semester 1, 2024 Develop a Simple Static Web Site Due Date 11 pm on Friday in Week 6 (Late submission penalty: 10% of total available marks per calendar day) Contribution to Final Assessment: 40% Important: All work must be done by your group. Submissions are automatically checked for similarities. Unexplained/acknowledge similarities may constitute plagiarism. Carefully read the section on plagiarism in the Unit Outline before you proceed (including the section forbidding sharing your work with others). Purpose This assignment will familiarise you with the techniques and skills involved in designing and creating static webpages utilising validated HTML and CSS created with a standard text editor. You also learn about accessiblity guidelines for web in this assessment. You will deploy these Web pages on a Unix / Apache server. This should be done in a way that keeps HTML content and CSS presentation separate, as discussed in the lectures. No JavaScript is to be used in this part of the assignment. Essential Requirements Scenario: An IT company wants to develop a website that will enable it to advertise vacant positions. These have a 'position description' that sets out the qualifications, skills and knowledge required. Potential applicants for the position will be able to submit an online form to apply for a position. In this assignment you will develop a prototype of this website. The website you develop will consist of the following Web pages, accessible from a common menu on each page: · Home page with details of the company (index.html) · A page of job descriptions (jobs.html) · A job application page (apply.html) · A page with your group details (about.html) · A page which lists any enhancements you have made (enhancements.html) You must call these files exactly by these names, otherwise the marking program will not know they exist! You will also include · A CSS file that styles your website (style.css).
The essential requirements for this assignment are listed in the marking guide. In general the web pages must: · have relevant content . must include the HTML markup specified in the marking guide . must validate to HTML5 without errors · must be styled by a validated CSS3 file · must be linked to each other via a menu · must be deployed on Mercury. All web pages in your website should have a consistent layout and navigation. Where "in-house" templates have been defined in this unit (e.g. for meta-data; tables; etc.) these should be followed. These include accessibility alternatives. The HTML in your Web pages must validate against the W3C HTML5 validator (http://validator.w3.org/nu) . Pages should not contain any deprecated elements/attributes (e.g. < i> , <b>). Do not use iframe elements in your assignment. Note: Generic structural elements like div or span should only be used where there is no more meaningful HTML5 element (e.g. section) that is appropriate. 1.
