  • Contain layouts for at least five pages
    • One Home Page + four branches
    • Each page must have at least one image
    • Each page must have text content
  • Must contain at least one audio file and one video
  • The site must contain links to three external sites
  • Must contain contact information, as well as the ability to email the “owner” (you)
