Here starts your journey of creating your own web page. There are some simple tools that will help you along the way. For me,it was important to see the stages of creating the web page in a very structured way. I am citing below the most helpful resources I used along the way.
In order to start your journey with web design, one extremely useful tool is HTML code. The purpose of the HTML code is to create an orderly structure for your content. As you shall see with Duckett's book "HTML & CSS", each segment of your webpage can previously be set up to arrange content: you might have a title visible on page using headers, content in columns or boxes organized by paragraphs or lists. With HTML, the language of the code is fairly easy as long as you keep your structure easy as well. I have found that organizing content through HTML is also a great way to organize thoughts and web page projects. The HTML language code is easier than a foreign language but it has a structure just the same, you will need to pay attention to the code protocol: using and closing segments of the code for the content to show up on your desired webpage.
What I call stage two is simply using an external CSS code sheet that, together with you content/HTML sheet, will generate the desired design on your final webpage. The CSS is another code that takes care of the design needs of your page. The CSS code might as well be imbedded with the HTML code, but I prefer (and so does a vast majority of people working in web design or using web design) to keep it a separate sheet. This way it is possible to focus on each element that you want to be having a certain style:from type to layout. With CSS you may add color properties with text, text font, text features, text placing and size of text as well as design lists and the several elements of your page: title, boxes, tables. What is very important is the CSS can decisively change your layout/ your format for the whole document. If you want it to breathe style, do it with CSS.
Before even reaching for the two codes above to create your desired web page, think about your PUBLIC/USERS.A very useful guide is Garett's book:"The Elements of User Experience."The book helps you browse for ideas and sharpen your goal based on the needs of your users. The main elements to be accounted for are: your objectives, their needs, the functionality of your website, the ease of navigation and the appeal to the sense of your public.Taking the public into consideration is creating a rhetorical approach that will increase the efficiency of your web site and the message it sends out to the readers and users.
