Introduction
The Final Web Site Project is your chance to apply what you have learned in class. You will choose a topic, write a proposal, design your information, produce graphics, and code the site.
Your site must have at least 5 separate pages. You will also need to document your sources for information and graphics and cite them on a credits page. Your final project MUST be hand coded using the XHTML Strict doctype.
