  4. Present your findings on a website you create with Wix.  The website should have a Home Page and seven additional tabs to match the seven topics below.  You may go beyond the seven additional tabs if you have a section you would like to add that is significant to your chosen career.  Place a link to your NEW website under the Assignment #16 tab on your class site.
