Final Presentation Instructions

A few things to consider before our final presentations, which will start promptly at 12:30 on Monday, May 9:

###Resolve Merge Conflicts

Be very wary of merge conflicts. After merging, I'd recommend checking out the gh-pages branch and searching all files in Atom for <<<<<. You’ll need to resolve any merge conflicts so that your pages will show up properly.

###Use the validator

If you’re having trouble with something working (html or css), use the validator! It will tell you if you have the merge conflict issue, and also if you have other problems (ex: an unclosed {} in your css will throw errors all the way down the page).

###Check it in the wild

Next, pull up the pages on your phone. Go through every single page. Tap around, check all links. Send it to your mom/dad/significant other/neighbor. Ask them to sanity-check your work. You're way more likely to find something you missed.

###Your presentation

Walk through your presentation with your group. You've worked hard all semester; your project deserves to be shown off. Go over who will explain what. Don't blow it by “winging it.”

You are quite welcome to use a slideshow or something similar to illustrate your design thinking. Remember that clients will be in the room, so you should consider showing your working process to them.

You are welcome to use screenshots of versions of your site to illustrate how your design thinking has changed (pro tip: use an old version from Github to show how it looked, if you didn’t keep screenshots).

You will need to show both mobile and desktop versions of your site.

###MAKE SURE YOU KNOW WHAT YOUR SITE LINK IS

You don't want to be fumbling around in the address bar during the presentation.

Pro tip: add a file called readme.md to your repo that has your link on it, such as: https://github.com/J4502-SS16/weir

Keep in mind the link format is like this:

http://j4502-ss16.github.io/[YourRepoNameHere]

Capitalization matters!

Second pro tip: Consider using something a bit more human readable, such as a bit.ly link.

###Be there at 12:30

Each group will get 20 minutes to present, with about 5 minutes of setup time in between. This is the order of the presentations; it was chosen based on when clients will be able to attend.
