Website Design: Creating a Webpage
There are several ways that you can create a website, you can learn programming with HTML, JAVA, or VB script, and use a text editor like Microsoft Notepad which can take unwanted time. See the example below.
Another way to create your website is to purchase and HTML editor like Microsoft FrontPage or Macromedia Dreamweaver. These HTML editors include basic templates, themes, text editors, special effects, publishing tools, and graphic design tools.
Another way is to hire a professional (ManageWare) to design a custom website for you. This normally doesn't take as long, the designer asked all the questions mentioned earlier, then the begin with the basic design and you review their work and give the final approval.
- Creating a New Web Page
Use any text editor such as SimpleText (Mac) or WordPad (Windows).
1. Open any text editor.
2. Choose File > New to create a new, blank document.
3. Using HTML, create your document.
4. Save your file, often, as you continue to work.
- Starting Your Web Page
When we begin to look at HTML code, the first thing you will type on your web page is the HTML tag.
1.Type <HTML>
2. Leave a few spaces for creating the rest of your page.
3. Type </HTML>
Note: As a general rule, you should get in the habit of typing both tags and working between them. One of the most common mistakes, when using HTML code, is forgetting to add the final tag of a set.
In addition, a template can be created with all the basic HTML tags typed in as a starting point for all web pages.
- Viewing Your Page in a Browser
Once you've created your page you'll want to see how it looks in a browser. Since not all browsers display your page exactly the same way, you need to view your page using several browsers.
