Building a Web Site to Host our Work, Or, how to use Google to pretend that you are a web designer and get away with it.

Introduction:
          In keeping with the theme of presenting the class's work to a wide audience, this week's focus has been placed on the development of a website where our work can be effectively hosted and presented to the world at large.  Common consensus on Web Design is that there is no better way to gauge the effectiveness of a website than to open it up to the people and let them figure out how it's broken.  Short of this, the best thing an aspiring designer can do is build and test, build and test until either they are satisfied with the product or rapture cometh.  Information architect Steve Krug says of web usability “The problem is there are no simple “right” answers for most Web design questions (at least not for the important ones). What works is good, integrated design that fills a need—carefully thought out, well executed, and tested.”
          Therefore, the time has come to begin developing web pages that can present the information processed in this course, and that has been the focus of this week's work.
