Hello everyone , I need a huge favor from someone here.

I need help making a website , its for my final for my website designing class.

Im suppose to make a site , a pretty simple one. Basically a site promoting a pre-school , with 5 different sitemaps linking to 5 different contents , a back-ground image and some other minor things.

Anyone that can help me with this is greatly appreciated , and not to provoke anyone to help me but I will donate to the site via paypal , this is a huge thing for me , and need all the help I can get.

Even if somone can just send me the code to a site with 5 sitemaps ( 5 different links on the top of the screen ) but with empty content on eachone , It will still help me a lot.

this also has to be done using the table format , if anyone is willing to do this HUGE favor for me , ill send them the details , I will do my part as much as possible.

Table format?

Tell your teacher he is a fool for teaching you incorrect methods. Its not 1998 anymore.

This is exactly why I DONT like the concept of going to "school" to learn this stuff, what do you actually learn? To make websites out of tables? Please...

Alternatively, you "should" get extra marks if you make it correctly.
Also your talking about navigation, not a sitemap..
2 different things

Eh , I agree 100%...

Specifications
At a minimum, your Web site must follow the guidelines and include the specific requirements described below.
1) The code of all pages must validate. Please validate your code.

2) All pages must share a common color scheme, consistent design elements, and text navigation links to each page of the site.

3) All images must contain dimension attributes and alt attributes, all tables must contain a summary attribute, and all frames must contain a title attribute.

4) It is suggested that you use a sans-serif font, such as Arial or Verdana unless use of a serif font is important to the theme of your site.

5) The page should be designed for 1024 x 768 px resolution (Do not forget to consider scrollbars and margins). No horizontal scrollbar should display. Test your site at the proper resolution.

6) The site should demonstrate principles of good design, usability, and accessibility as discussed in Chapter 5.
A) These includes:
1. Use of negative space (white space).
2. Chunkiness: The breaking up of content into small chunks, rather than using large masses of text, etc.
3. Use of separator lines (vertical and horizontal) to break content into readable sections.
4. Use of headers or section titles to identify sections.
5. Use of unordered or ordered lists.
6. Repetition of visual elements.
7. Small file sizes to facilitate fast download of content. (As a general guide for this project, the maximum size for any one page should not exceed 85KB).
8. Short pages (no longer than 2.5 screenfulls).
9. Logical navigation that is easy to use.
10. In addition to primary navigation, secondary text navigation should appear at the bottom of every page.
11. Pages from any external web sites to which your site links should open in a new browser window.

7) Tables: The site must use tables for page layout (borders will generally be turned off, but not necessarily). Decide on an ice, jello, or liquid design.

8) Image Map: The site must contain at least one image map with a minimum of four hotspots linking to either internal or external pages. (You may also use an image map for your primary navigation.)
A) All hotspots must contain the alt attribute.
B) Image maps, except those used for primary navigation, must include instructions for the user.
C) Make sure that you include equivalent text navigation for any navigation created with images.
Products (or Services) Page: The site must contain a Products or Services page containing the elements below.

9) Products (or Services) Page: The site must contain a Products or Services page containing the elements below.
A) A table consisting of rows and columns sufficient to display at least six product thumbnail images, the catalog number of each product or service represented, and the price of each product or service represented. Prices should be aligned to the right.
1. When clicked, Product thumbnail images must link to larger versions of the same images.
B) Headers can be arranged horizontally or vertically.
C) You may choose whatever table properties desired (i.e., borders, colors, backgrounds, etc.)
D) A link must appear at the bottom of the page, which takes the user back to the top of the page when clicked.

10) Form: The site must contain a comprehensive form page arranged in a table that demonstrates use of at least one instance of each of the five different types of form fields, as well as submit and reset buttons.
A) The form page must open in a NEW BROWSER WINDOW.
B) Use labels for all fields so that a user can enter the field by clicking on the label.
C) Use the POST method and send the form results to a functional CGI script (You may use the script provided by the author of the textbook).
D) You may also include any additional imagery desired on this page.
E) As with the other content pages, do not forget to include navigation on the form page.

11) Inline Graphics: In addition to thumbnail images, the site must contain at least six examples of inline graphics (including a logo), consisting of decorative images and/or images related to the content of your site. These images must be placed within the flow of the text content and employ proper alignment, as well as padding.
A) All images must contain width, height, and alt attributes.
B) Do not rescale images using the width and height attributes.

12) Text Content: Pages must contain substantial textual content. Simply fabricate text content relevant to your topic (content does not have to be accurate) and arrange the text using the guidelines discussed in Chapter 5.
A) Text content must adhere to best practice design standards as covered in chapter 5, including chunkiness, use of negative space, use of headers, proper font size, color, contrast, and text flow.
1. Examples of HTML text could include content that describes your hypothetical organization, its history, and what it is that you offer.
B) Check spelling of text content.

13) CSS: All text formatting and background colors should be accomplished with CSS. Deprecated tags, such as the FONT tag, should NOT be used at all, but other XHTML tags may be redefined by styles.
A) The site should employ an external style sheet and, only if necessary, embedded styles.

I would build your site to CURRENT BEST PRACTICES, and challenge your teacher to the use of
A) table layout and
B) image maps
C) table for form elements
There simply is no known reason to be teaching this shit.
If your teacher is so gung ho about having it validate, and adhere to best practices both design and useability then he/she should know that this is very wrong.

In fact w3.org even stipulate in the html4.01 spec that tables should ONLY BE USED FOR TABULAR DATA. now that is straight from the horses mouth!!!

For what its worth your html structure "should" be something like this, (of course + doctype head et al...)
HTML:
<div id="wrapper">
<div id="header">
<!--header elements go here -->
</div>
<div id="nav">
<!-- navigation goes here (as unordered list -->
</div>
<div id="content">
<!-- main page content goes here-->
</div>
<div id="footer">
<!-- footer goes here (sub nav as unordered list) -->
</div>
</div>

In fact you could go one step furthe and make it html5 with the new elements, but I suspect your "teacher" hasnt even heard of it!!!
 
This is an interesting thread. My comment is not even about design. Why are you asking someone else to do the project for you only one day (as I understood it) before it is due? You should have started this quite some time ago as it is not a simple design at all.

Meh.. I decided to over look the "will I get a course credit" comment. Or better yet "does your teacher know you cheat" and went with what I knew.

You did make me laugh! LOL. You do have a point,your teacher might be born on 1998 era thus she/he should have evolved as it is 2011 running 2012! Sorry to be harsh.

I'm curious too,you could learn it yourself or group of people in your area,you know what it would be good experience doing it on actual!

I helped. I wrote the correct html structure u need to begin with.
Have to say if you want someone to do a table layout for you...youll be on your own.
Dont think anyone on here that actually knows what they are doing will be prepared to step back into the dark ages...

Just go to one of those "Design your site online for free" sites. The instructor will be overjoyed with how horrible the code is and the fact it'll only work in IE

I wish it was my call , but it isn't
If I want a good grade , I need to follow these guidelines unfournatly...
Is there any sample site you guys can link? Where I can get the basic coding from?
My main problem with this assignment is starting it , if I have the foundation of it , it shouldn't be that big of a problem
