A web page is made up from
text, graphics, colors and code. What we are going to go over here
is how to design a very basic web page without using a program
designed for building them. The code I am talking about is
Basic HTML
Code. Before we begin take a look at the HTML Reference
Chart by clicking on this text:
HTML Reference Chart
On the reference chart you
will see a list of html code, this code tells the web browser what
the page should look like. What is HTML, HTML stands for Hyper Text
Markup Language.
Most people today us
programs like Microsoft Front Page (which is only one of many on the
market) to build webpage's. Programs like this do the work of adding
in all the code for you. The advantage of using this type program as
opposed to what I am about to show you is that with Front Page you
can see you work as it will appear on the web while you are working
on it.
So lets get ready to make
your very first webpage using nothing but text, code and notepad.
Notepad should already be on your computer.
Open notepad and type the
following:
|
<html>
<head>
<title>I
Made This</title>
</head>
<body>
This is how to make a web page without using a program
</body>
</html> |
Now that you have typed all
that (or you could copy and past) save your file. Click on save as
and type in firststep.htm as the name of your page. Be sure to note
where you are saving the file to so you can open it.
Let's take a look at what
you have just made. Locate the page you just made and double click
on it. By double clicking on it that should cause it to open in your
web browser.
Congratulations, you just made
your first page. On Step two we will work with adding different
content to web pages.
