Final project details

Goal

• Create a multiple page website in a HireMe folder with a navigation menu system with a PHP extension (you can use PHP include for the header and footer but that is not required)
• Opportunity for creativity in content and design
• Opportunity to demonstrate learning
• Have a website to use for looking for an internship or summer job
• This project may be used in future IMS classes

Assignment

• Create HireMe/index.php
  • Due by Thursday 04-30-2020 at 11:59pm
  • One re-grade request allowed from Thursday 04-30-2020 at 11:59pm until Thursday 05-07-2020 at 11:59pm
  • Grade value: 25% of your final grade
  Content should include
  • Multiple pages in a new style that tell about your story (why someone would want to hire you)
  • You can begin from Kirk's template; you need to modify the css to make it uniquely yours
