This document summarizes the student's process of designing and creating a website about the superhero Thor for their target audience of ages 10-16. The student chose Thor as the subject because he is one of their favorite superheroes. They designed simple pages with images and text to keep it easy to understand and not bore readers. The final website differed slightly from the initial designs and the student notes some ways they could improve it if doing it again, such as using HTML instead of images.
