Formal Writing Project; Professional Web Planning and Proposal

Read the 'Dreamweaver Tutorial 2' hand-out and follow the directions for each of the exercises, but instead of tailoring your work for the "Cosmatic" case study provided, customize your research and proposals for your own mock-company Web site, which you will be working on for the remainder of the semester. That site will constitute your final project.

Turn in each steps on the deadlines listed below but save your work because you will turn it all in together in a presentation folder at the end as your Formal writing project.
