Final Site Project

Size:
Desktop: 1000px wide x 700px+ height
Mobile: 480px wide x 800px+ height

Home page must include:

• Your name
• What it is for; a statement about you and/or your site that would contain several keywords so people searching for your site would be more likely to find it
• Contact information
• Social media links
• A sample of your work
• 2 sets of navigation to your site: at the top or left and in the footer

Most of these points are for relatively simple things we've been stressing throughout the course.
