In a perfect world, when trying to make my final product for my Data Visualization class, I would not have to learn HTML, CSS, or JavaScript i.e. I would use a template. As I mentioned in a previous blog post, since I already came into this project with a general idea of how my website should look. I made a simple mock-up in illustrator that I used for my class presentation (afterwards, my professor suggested an alternative design which ended up working much better for the structure of the project). hello

I started late-night watching of how to make HTML pages and of course… I started out with the classic “Hello World.”

<html>
<header><title>This is title</title></header>
<body>
Hello world
</body>
</html>
