What to Present
1. Start Your Presentation
How to Begin: Navigate to webprojects.lrock.net/projects, find and open your project detail page. This shows your project information and provides context for your presentation.
From your project page, briefly introduce:
- Project name and type (portfolio, blog, business site, etc.)
- Purpose - What problem does it solve or what need does it address?
- Target audience - Who is this website for?
2. Live Demonstration
Option 1: Live Deployed URL (Recommended)
- Click on your live URL from the project page
- Before presenting: Test that your live URL actually works - click through ALL pages
- During presentation: Navigate through your website and show key features
Option 2: Local with Live Server (Backup)
- Have VS Code ready with Live Server running
- Use if internet connection is poor
Be Prepared: Always have BOTH options ready. Switch to Live Server immediately if internet fails.
What to Show:
- Homepage - Main design and navigation
- All Pages - Click through to show everything works
