Your class project for this class is to create a one-page website using the tips and techniques you learned in this class. When you design a website it's more important that it converts, than to have a trendy design. Because the website is there to sell a service or a product so you have to design with that in mind. You can use the same assets as the course will use, or use different images, colors, and icons to make your design a bit different because you will learn better that way.
NOTE: Software NOT included.
