# Website — Final (Format & Polish) — 5 points **Due: Week 15 — Friday, December 4** **Submit: live URL in Canvas** --- ## What this milestone is about The content was due in Week 11. This is the pass where it stops looking like a student site. ## Checklist **Consistency** - Every project page uses the same template, in the same order, with the same heading hierarchy - Two typefaces maximum, used the same way everywhere - Image sizes and aspect ratios consistent within a page - Neutral background — your work supplies the color **Completeness** - **6 to 10 pieces.** Not eleven. If you're at eleven, cut the weakest — a portfolio is judged closer to its weakest included piece than its strongest. - Nothing unfinished, nothing marked "WIP," nothing you'd need to apologize for - Every video plays; every embed loads; no broken images **Findability** - Custom domain resolves, with and without `www` - Favicon set - Page titles are real — `Jane Doe — Environment Artist`, not `Home | Untitled` - Alt text on images - Your name is searchable — Google yourself and see what comes up **Contact** - Route on every page - Resume PDF current and downloadable (the Week 11 final, not the draft) - Links out to LinkedIn and your platform profile - **Every single link tested in a private browsing window** **The 30-second test, again** Hand it to someone who hasn't seen it. Can they answer, in thirty seconds: what you make, whether you're any good, what role you want, how to reach you? ## Grading note I grade this by opening it cold on a phone and on a laptop, with no warning and no explanation from you. That's how it will be seen for the rest of its life. ## Rubric | Standard | Points | | --------------------------------------------------------------- | ------ | | 6–10 pieces, all finished, nothing weak left in for volume | 1 | | Visual and structural consistency across every page | 1 | | No broken links, images, embeds, or videos — verified | 1 | | Findability: domain, titles, favicon, alt text, searchable name | 1 | | Contact and current resume reachable from anywhere on the site | 1 | ## After this course Set a calendar reminder for six months from now. **If your newest public piece is more than six months old, you read as stalled** — whether or not you are. Junior artists who visibly improve out-hire juniors with better but static work, because a lead is buying your trajectory, not your current frame. One new or substantially reworked piece per quarter. Put it on a calendar today, not in your head. ## Related - **Website First Draft** (Week 11) - **90-Day Plan** (Week 15) — where the maintenance cadence gets written down
