Unit 5
1.) Writing web pages is not like writing printed documents because people read Web pages in a different way.
2.) 1.) Think about who youre writing for.
2.) Dont start with a long "welcome" intro, saying what the page is for.
3.) Dont assume that everyone reading your Web site will have an enormous screen or a fast internet
connection.
4.) Keep paragraphs short and columns narrow.
5.) Line spacing of 1.5 or 2 is good.
6.) Never use blue or underlined text.
7.) Stick to the various conventions, such as a click on your main logo taking readers to the home page.
8.) Dont arrange text in columns such that the reader has to scroll the screen up and down.
9.) Dont waste too much above-the-fold (the area of the screen that can be read without scrolling) with
waffle or large pictures.
10.) Check the spelling of your pages, but dont rely solely on any automatic spelling checker.
3.) A Hyperlink is those 1 or 2 words, normally in blue and underlined, which your visitor can click on to move
to another page or another site.
4.) Some destinations of your hyperlinks are can easily create links to other places.
5.) Two rules that will help you make sense of html coding are 1. An HTML file contains a mixture of page
content and formatting commands. 2. HTML tags generally occur in pairs. The first occurrence turns on a
particular effect, or marks the beginning of a particular section. The second occurrence turns off the effect, or
marks the end of the section. The second occurrence uses the same tag name as the first, but with a forwardslash at the start of the tag name.
6.) the most important HTML tag is the most common tag that youll see on web pages is <p>.
7.) Meta Tags are a way for a web page to supply information about itself to the web browser that is displaying
the page.
8.) The best known HTML validator is run by the World Wide Web Consortium.
9.) Some of the things that you should do to ensure that your site is accessible include: Provide alternative
ALT text for every picture or image that you use.
Dont create information which cant be understood by those who cant see colors properly.
Ensure that there is sufficient contrast between text and background colors.
Avoid scrolling text and other dynamic effects. They are hard to read.
Avoid any technique which may produce flickering effects on-screen. Use the clearest and simplest
language for site content.
Keep paragraphs short, and include some white space between them.
Do not use frames. Screen readers dont like them.
Dark text on a light background works better that light text on a dark background.
Use a line spacing of around 1.5 to ensure that the text on a page doesnt look too heavy.
10.) Cascading Style Sheets is a separate file that complements one, some, or all of the HTML pages on your
site.
