CLASS PROJECT

For this project, once you’ve finished watching the videos, please create 1 new landing page with either Wix, WordPress or HTML.

Create a header, text & image with a top menu.

This can be your first start towards your first business page.

After you have created the basic requirements, add some styling, change the font, look & feel.

When you’re happy with your page (feel free to add more to it, if you like), share a screenshot and a link so everyone else who takes this class can view it!
