Mark Up and Style Resume

Due Feb 3.

Using what you’ve learned about HTML and semantics, take a copy of your resume and mark it up with HTML. Focus on describing the information on the page, rather than picking elements based on their default style.

Make use of this cheatsheet of useful HTML elements and what they represent.

Using separation of content from presentation, style the resume with CSS. Focus on readability, coherence and good typography.

Code Structure

Keep the code well-organized. Download the Site Stub (.zip) and use it as a guide to structure your code.

  • Make sure your file is called index.html
  • Keep all style code in an external CSS file. Style inlined into the HTML will not be allowed. The site stub has a stylesheet in the css/ directory that is already hooked up.
  • Practice proper code indentation and style. If you’re unsure how to do this, check with the styleguide for HTML.
