Directions:

Open Microsoft PowerPoint and begin designing your company home page. 
** Remember to change your presentation size to  4 x 3.3 inches in order to fit your web page browser screen size.

First Step:

1. Open PowerPoint
2. Click on Design Tab at top of your screen
3. Then on top left click the Page Setup icon
4. For Width type: 4 and Height: 3.3

Next, what kinds of elements should be placed on a company home page?

• Company Name  with Graphic Design/Logo
• "We are..." or "Our company..." statement that include one or more sentences about your company (maybe start off with welcome, we at Fashion Spot specialize in... or... Who we are... or Why we are better... or What if...
• Slogan/Motto  .... "Building a Tradition of Excellence"  .... see examples: company slogans

• Street Address

• City, State and Zip

  • Note:  The street Address, City, State, and Zip should be found together on the page and be properly Capitalized and punctuated.

  Example:    1562 Main Street
                   San Diego, CA  90210

• Phone Number
• Owners Name with your title:  Ex:  Roderick Hames, Owner (This can be placed in the bottom of the slide with a very small font - just large enough I can read so I can credit your grade for your work)

• (Optional) You may include some product sample graphics you sale.

Most all the information you provide is made up with the exception of the City and State.

• Visit some of your competitor's websites to see what they have put on their site.

Questions to ask yourself... Did you use a unique Font?  Did you leave some white space on the page?  Did you use too many colors?  Just how realistic does your home page look?
