Capstone Spec
Use Rotto Rocks as your capstone-style build: a realistic tourism website project with a client brief, wireframe options, project notes, accessibility expectations, and deployment planning.
Rotto Rocks overview
Rotto Rocks is a fictional Rottnest Island tourism website for guided walking, cycling, wildlife, beach, and sunset experiences. The project brings together the skills practised across HTML, CSS, responsive layout, accessibility, SEO, and deployment readiness.
Start with the project page, then use the brief and wireframes to choose your build direction. The HTML and CSS reference notes are available as supporting material and can be updated later to match Variation A of the wireframes.
Project resources
These are the same Rotto Rocks resources linked from the project page, gathered here so the capstone spec and project section point learners to the same source material.
What the capstone should demonstrate
Treat this as more than a page-building exercise. A finished Rotto Rocks submission should show that you can make decisions from a brief, structure a multi-page site, style reusable sections, test for accessibility, and prepare the site for publishing.
- Clear multi-page information architecture and navigation
- Semantic HTML for headings, landmarks, images, cards, forms, and content sections
- Reusable CSS patterns for layout, spacing, typography, cards, buttons, and page sections
- Responsive behaviour across small, medium, and large screens
- Accessible labels, focus states, colour contrast, alt text, and keyboard checks
- Basic SEO, metadata, performance awareness, and deployment readiness
