If making a web page seems like brain surgery to you, then this is the article for you. What you need to know The only prior knowledge I will assume is that you’ve used a computer before, you’re familiar with using a keyboard and a word processor, and you’ve at least seen a website. Other than that, I assume you are completely ignorant! The Basics When you visit a website (for example the one you’re reading now), you see a page in your web browser (the program you use to access the internet) , containing text, images and maybe some other things like videos, music etc. In order to display a page correctly, the web browser needs to know about the structure of the page, e.g. What HTML Looks Like HTML uses ‘tags’ to identify different parts of a page.

ntent & usability: Web writing Web writing is totally different to writing for printed matter. We tend to scan content on the web hunting for the information we're after, as opposed to reading word-for-word. As a result of this, there are certain guidelines you should be sure to follow when writing copy for your website: 1. Use clear and simple language Reading from computer screens is tiring for the eyes and about 25% slower than reading from printed matter. Some techniques for using clear and simple language include: Avoid slang or jargon - Get your grandmother and ten year old nephew to read your site - if both can understand the page content you've done well! 2. If you assign just one idea to each paragraph site visitors can: Easily scan through each paragraph Get the general gist of what the paragraph is about Then move on to the next paragraph All this and without fear that they'll be skipping over important information, because they will already know roughly what the paragraph is about. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8.

Website builder Website builders are tools that allow the construction of websites without manual code editing. They fall into two categories: online proprietary tools provided by web hosting companies, typically intended for users to build their private site; and software which runs on a computer, creating pages offline and which can then publish these pages on any host. (The latter are often considered to be "website design software" rather than "website builders".) History[edit] The first websites were created in the early 1990s.[1] These sites were manually written in HTML. Over time, software was created to help design web pages and by 1998 Dreamweaver had been established as the industry leader; however, some have criticized the quality of the code produced by such software as being overblown and reliant on tables. Online vs. offline[edit] Online website builders typically require customers to sign up with the web hosting company. Sites are generally created using either HTML or Adobe Flash.
