How to Make a Web Page

The first step in making web sites is to make a web page.  It isn't difficult to Make a web page.

If you are able to create a document using a word processor like word then you are able to make a web page. Here we will look at web page making using two free web page editors.

Both editors are WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) editors which hide the technicalities of HTML.

I have chosen to use these editors because they are very simple , uncluttered  and yet powerful web page editors. Equally as important, there is a completely free version available for download on the Internet (links at bottom).

We are going to be making a series of web pages to illustrate the various aspects of a web page like headings, tables, images etc.

 None of the examples will require a knowledge of HTML, and I would also recommend that you don't worry too much about HTML for the present. However, regardless of what many people say you will need a basic grasp of HTML to successfully build a website.

Preparation

We will not be concerned with web page layout (see resources at bottom) and design, as that will be covered in other articles.

For the exercises contained in these illustrations create and save all files in a directory (I use c:\webs\BYO in the exmples).
