Project 4: Static Web Site Design

Many CSE faculty members maintain a web site with information about their research, teaching, and service activities. Here are some examples:

• Prof. Mike Bond
• Prof. Raef Bassily
• Prof. Eric Fosler-Lussier
• Prof. Shaileshh Bojja Venkarakrishnan
• Prof. Han-wei Shen

For this project, your task is to redesign, from the ground up, Prof. Shaileshh Bojja Venkarakrishnan's site.

The final result should conform to the following requirements:

1. Professionalism. You should be proud to demo your completed project to your parents and to the faculty member in question!
2. Fidelity. While the style and organization can be completely different, the factual information in the redesigned site should be accurate (i.e., taken from the original). Conversely, the information in the redesigned site should be relatively complete (i.e., all/most of the information in the original site can be found in the redesigned one).
3. Size. The site should consist of at least 3 pages, coherently organized and cross-linked.
4. Content. There must be at least one table and at least one image.
5. Technology. The site should be generated using Middleman. The generated site should consist of only HTML and CSS, while the source files should include (at least) markdown, ERb, and YAML files. Do not use any JavaScript or any web design frameworks such as Bootstrap or Foundation. If you are unsure whether a particular technology is permitted for this project, ask.
6. Validity. Your completed project should be fully validated HTML and CSS. You can use the w3c validation service to check: validator.w3.org.

Your redesigned site does not need to be cross-browser or cross-platform compatible. Just make sure it looks good on a desktop display using Chrome.
