Web PageDeveloping and designing a basic web page can be a fun but complicated task. Whether it's a large commercial web page for business purposes or a small personal web page about your hobby or family; the development process is the same. The three main steps that go into developing and designing a basic web page include: information gathering, site layout and design, and HTML (hypertext markup language) conversion. The most important task of developing and designing a web page is gathering information. First you need to brainstorm what you would like the web page to consist of. Gather everything you want to become part of the web page, from editorials and graphics to company information and history. It might be a good idea to get your hands on as much data as possible and then decide what to use on the web page. Any unused material may be discarded later. All previously collected information is classified in a hierarchical form from most important to least important. Next you need to develop the layout of the web page. You should draw a few simple sketches to visualize the overall look of the web page. The use of a specific theme or template should be used to maintain the same basic look throughout the website. Keep the website reader in mind when designing the website. Most readers usually don't wait for large graphics files to load, especially on the home page. Readers also don't like small, hard-to-read text. Please note that some older monitors and systems may not be able to display higher resolutions; Additionally, some web browsers may not be able to display some newer text types. The last step in creating a web page is converting from plain text and graphics to HTML code. All the elements that make up the web pages must then be combined with graphics, simple text, even tables. The combined elements are then converted from plain text to HTML code. The easiest way to accomplish this arduous task if you have no HTML programming experience is to use a computer program designed for the purpose of converting text, graphics, and other objects to HTML, such as Cute HTML, Trelix Web, or Netscape Composer.
