Class Templates
For the class template websites, we've identified a number of elements:
- Two Designs: iframe and inverted L
- No preference on colors, so all in style sheet
- Main page elements: name, image, links
- Links could include: Contact (IM, email, campus address), classmates, sports info, background, education, picture gallery, copyright, links page to external links, location info (google maps), interests
Website Samples
Websites that the class selected as frequently used by accountants (to use as models for your own websites). Points to consider: What's up with the heavy use of blue & green with glove imagery? Is there some official accounting color palette? How to choose colors. Types of layout--what's best and why (sustainability, standards compliance, info you want on your websites: links, contact info, resume, statement of intent, welcome/home page, pictures?, colors, layout, references to uf or uf colors?, detailed course information, details on education/work, fun information (what you read, hobbies); professionalization points--err on side of caution
