Due on Sunday

In an era where Web sites are highly dynamic, interactive, and database dependent, a static Web page consisting of only HTML may seem archaic. However, Web developers must begin somewhere and a good understanding of the language of the Web (HTML) is the right place to start. You have decided to develop a static Web page that contains valid HTML as the newsletter for an organization that interests you.

Create a static Web page that includes the basic structure of a valid HTML (not XHTML) document. Make sure to include the language attribute of the html element and the character set attribute of the metadata element. You may want to save this basic document as the starting structure for development of all static Web pages.
Continue to structure the newsletter using the HTML semantic elements
header
section
footer
Within the structure of the newsletter add other HTML elements including at least one:
heading
paragraph
image that implements accessibility guidelines
navigation that includes a
list of at least
four links that
navigate to actual Web pages and
implement accessibility guidelines
Use of any inline elements should follow current standards
No style should be applied
Validate the finished web page.
Zip (compress) the into a .zip file.
Please submit your assignment.

Grading

You will be graded on the content, structure, and validity of your final HTML page.  Points will be deducted for any missing required elements and/or attributes. Points will be deducted for any validation errors including any missing accessibility requirements.

For assistance with your assignment, please use your text, Web resources, and all course materials.
