use the one the school gave you.

11. › Right now you are
picking a layout for your
website.

it later.
› Since we are going to
use the website to
display art, you should
choose something like
Design, Photography,
Creative Arts, or One-
Pager

12. › After you click go, this is
what you will see.
› Look at all the designs,
and click the View
button under a few of
them.

replacing the art work
with your own. You are
just scoping out designs.

time after you make a
few changes.

17. › You are creating a website for
multiple reasons
– A means for your teacher to
efficiently check up on your finished
projects.

skills, even profit from after you have
finished the class.

work

gallery page like
this, or modify one
you already have
by clicking on the
stock picture.

24. › You must also have a
gallery page displaying
your work.

that describes who you
are, and why the site
exists.

paragraph.
