Introduction
For this project, you will create a personal portfolio website to demonstrate your ability to use HTML, CSS, and JavaScript and resolve software problems in web development environments. You will create three HTML pages: a rsum, a cover letter, and a career goals page. As you make your website, you will use one external style sheet for the design and layout of your site.

You will write your own HTML, CSS, and JavaScript codeno frameworks will be allowed. Do not use online media linksall image, audio, and video files must be stored locally with your code.
Your submission should include:
Requirements
Your submission must represent your original work and understanding of the course material. Most performance assessment submissions are automatically scanned through the WGU similarity checker. Students are strongly encouraged to wait for the similarity report to generate after uploading their work and then review it to ensure Academic Authenticity guidelines are met before submitting the file for evaluation. See for more information.
Grammarly Note:
Professional Communication will be automatically assessed through Grammarly for Education in most performance assessments before a student submits work for evaluation. Students are strongly encouraged to review the Grammarly for Education feedback prior to submitting work for evaluation, as the overall submission will not pass without this aspect passing. See for more information.
