Second and lastly your web page must be coded to fit the screen. If this is not made sure of the users on your website will come across many problems. If every aspect and detail of the site is not seen, the user will not have access to every link or piece of information you have to offer. The way around this is to code it using width”100″ which allows your website’s page to be fully accessible and completely viewed. Usually when a user uses web browsers you can scale it to the size or screen view percentage of your choice- which helps, but if the site’s owner ensures it fits all common screens first there will be no issues.

The ‘html’ tag begins and ends the entire page. You could say that this is the house in which all the code lives. The ‘head’ is where information such as the title, description of your site, keywords, any custom java-scripts, would be located. Those areas will be developed in other articles.

The ‘body’ comes next and is similar to the main body of a letter you might write to a friend. This is where the meat of the webpage will be located.

Paragraphs will be noted as p inside the <> tag, and will contain sections of text.

Images will be noted as ‘img srcthenthewebsitename.com’ inside the <> tags and will contain hyperlinks to the image you are inserting.

html inside <> to open the html page

head inside <> to open the header

head inside to close the header

p inside <>This is the section where the paragraph would go.

p inside

html inside to close the html page

Those are some easy HTML codes to remember and get you started. Keep in mind, always close all section with the < /> code, if not, it can put your whole webpage out of line.

When setting up your type, be sure to make the default font size is easy to read. If it is too small, your readers might blow past your site in favor for one where they can read the content. On the other side, if it is too large, your readers will assume your yelling; much like using all capitals. I found some more information here.

Keep in mind the contrast when choosing the background and font color. Light text over a dark background may look cool and fit the theme of your site, but try to keep this to a minimal, as it is hard on the eyes. Try reversing the scheme to keep your colors.

Another thing to consider is space between bodies of text. Readers will pass over large, unbroken blocks. Break up your text into smaller sections.

If you keep these easy tips in mind when designing your web page, the site will be greatly enhanced and visitors will be more likely to use your site more often.

1. Make a background with lots of moving features and crazy colors that distract from the text on the page. If it’s almost impossible to read the text, that’s even better. After all, why would you want visitors to be able to read what your site is about?
2. Make sure your website is packed with huge image files, especially if they don’t really relate to the topic of the site at all. This will make your site take forever to load, which will give your readers the perfect opportunity to relax after already struggling to read your text.
3. IF YOU THINK A SENTENCE OR IDEA IS REALLY IMPORTANT, PUT IT IN ALL CAPS. BETTER YET, PUT THE ENTIRE PARAGRAPH IN ALL CAPS. THIS ISN’T DISTRACTING OR ANNOYING AT ALL, AND WILL NOT MAKE IT SEEM LIKE YOU ARE YELLING AT YOUR READERS.
4. Link random words so that visitors aren’t exactly sure where they’ll be taken once they click it. It sure does look nice, though, doesn’t it? It’s even better if you don’t keep your links up to date, so when visitors click the link they get a nice error message.
5. Don’t worry about making your site concise and able to fit on a standard browser window with only vertical scrolling. Visitors are patient enough to scroll all over the place to find what they’re looking for, especially if the screen is cluttered up with annoyingI mean interestinggraphics and animations.

Follow these easy steps and watch your site crash and burn. Or, do the exact opposite, and you’ll be on your way to a site people actually want to visit.

• Firebug: This Firefox tool gives users the ability to look at the code behind any website, whether it is CSS, HTML, or Javascript. This is great for seeing how a good-looking site operates. Alternatively, you can also change the code in real-time if, for example, you were interested in seeing how your own logo might look on the site.
• Colorzilla: Another Firefox add-on, this tool is a style designer’s dream, with the ability to see the Hex or RGB code of any color on the screen. That means no more time wasted trying to come up with the perfect color for your company’s name. Other nitpicky but incredibly useful features include finding the distance between any two points, and analyzing DOM elements.
• The Design Inspiration: An online consortium of different designers, this site offers a huge library of logos, illustrations, and fonts for personalizing your site. In addition, the site spotlights articles on different artists and designers, such as “dirty-car-window artist” Scott Wade and Michel Rajkovic’s black and white nature photos. You can always borrow images as long as you cite them, but hopefully it will “inspire” you to come up with your own ideas.
• Fontstruct: You might find yourself spending hours playing around with this fun tool, which lets you develop your own font by arranging tiles on a grid. It’s fast and easy, and you can even post your favorites up online for others to download.

• .biz stands for “business” and is only for official business use, and offers an opportunity for businesses to use domain names that were already registered as .com’s. Personal users and forums cannot use this domain.
• .co is a domain type that becomes available on July 20. It was originally Colombia’s country domain, but research found that it was associated with “company” and “corporation”. It will most likely be used by businesses.
• .com stands for “commercial” and is the most commonly-used extension. Blogs, business sites, and discussion forums all use this extension, and it is also what viewers will look for first when searching for a product (i.e. batteries.com rather than batteries.org).
• .edu stands for “educational” and is only eligible for post-secondary schools accredited by a DOE-recognized agency. Obviously, you won’t be finding anything to buy on hereexcept a four-year college degree. You won’t be finding any personal sites either.
• .gov stands for “government” and is only used by U.S. government agencies. The reason for this exclusivity is that the internet began as a U.S.-federal-government-sponsored research network, giving the government plenty of time to stake their claim.
• .info stands for “information” and is intended for sites offering only that product. However, there are no restrictions on purchasing this domain, meaning you could theoretically find business or personal sites with this extension. This is counter-intuitive, though, as it would make it harder for surfers to find your site.
• .mobi stands for “mobile” and is one of the newest domains. Names are already going fast at sites like GoDaddy.com, since these domains will direct cell phone users to a normal website. With the growth in cellular wireless technology, this name could become very important in the future.
• .net stands for “network” and is the third most-popular domain type. It’s grown out of its initial use only for network providers like ISPs.
