2. EXERCISE

My tutor had us follow his directions to create a simple website to get the feel of it.

Since my tutor uses a MacBook and I use Windows, the UI/UX are a little different. However, they lead to the same outcome.

As you can see in Fig 2, I had some problems with my website as I misplaced a couple of symbols and mistyped a few phrases. However, after cross-referencing my tutor's screen and getting advice from my friends, I managed to fix the glaring issues.
