WEB DESIGNING
HOW TO MAKE A WEB DESIGN
Introduction:
So you have decided to design your web pages yourself! Good decision. So let's start quickly.Web pages are ordinary files with .htm or .html file extensions. They contain a code named "hypertext mark-up language" or html. This codes when viewed in a browser like Internet Explorer orNetscape will be seen as beautiful web pages however code under web page may be complicated.To design an html web page you have two options:a. You can use a web page editor like Microsoft FrontPage to create web pages. It works exactlylike Microsoft word (a complicated editor program used for creating and editing book, letter etcpages.) You just type text, insert graphics and finally save your document as an html web page.By the way word 2000 itself can save your existing documents as html pages.So you see designing a web page can be very easy. But soon you will see that this is not a goodoption for creating a professional web page.b. Second option is to learn html codes and write html pages in a simple text editor. As we saidyour codes will be seen as WebPages when viewed in a web browser.
Tools you will need
You will need a simple text editor to write html codes. For example you can use notepad in
windows or any text editor in other operating systems. You will also need a browser like Internet
explorer or Netscape Navigator. In this course we will assume that you are working in windows
9X/NT/2000.
EXAMPLE:
<HTML>
Hello world!</HTML>Now save the text as "page11.html" To browse html file open windows explorer and double clickon the file. You must see your first web page opened in your web browser.
HTML code headers
Every html page must have a header. Header contains important information about the page.
Different tags are used for different sections of a header. Header of an html page is specified by
<HEAD> and </HEAD> tags.
<HTML>
<HEAD>
...
</HEAD>
</HTML>
We will enter header information between <HEAD> </HEAD> tags.
<HTML>
TITLE:
<HTML>
<HEAD><TITLE>Title of the page</TITLE></HEAD></HTML>
BODY OF WEB PAGE TAG<body></body>
<HTML>
body page color:
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Page with Back Color</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY BGCOLOR="#00FF00">
Page with Back Color
</BODY>
</HTML>
background image need means:
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Page with background image</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY BACKGROUND="image1.gif">
<B>Page with background image.</B>
</BODY>
</HTML>
We can make a text bold, italic or underlined. If you want to make a text bold, you must inclose it
in <B>...</B> tags.<BODY>
This is very <B> important </B>
</BODY>
In above text the word "important" is typed bold. You can make a text italic by inclosing it in
<I>...</I> tags.
And finally you can make some text underlined by inclosing it in <U>...</U> tags.
font color codes:
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Example 4, Lesson 2</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<FONT COLOR="#FF0000">This text is in red color.</FONT><br>
<FONT COLOR="#00FF00">This text is in green color.</FONT><br>
<FONT COLOR="#0000FF">This text is in blue color.</FONT><br>
</BODY>
</HTML>
Text color default is black. Links are usually blue. To change default settings for these values you
must use <BODY> tag with more parameters.<BODY BGCOLOR="#FFFFFF" TEXT="#000000" LINK="#0000FF"
VLINK="#00FF00" ALINK="#FF0000">Some Text </BODY>
BGCOLOR: Web page background
TEXT: Text Color
LINK: Link Color
VLINK: Visited link
ALINK: Active link
