Chapter 3 discusses the process of formatting text on a webpage by using various features such as fonts and colors and also additional features such as links, graphics, tables, and frames. It was a good refresher of what we learned in class.
Chapter 4 discusses the process of planning a website. It discusses naming and titling pages and also the importance of keeping the files for the website organized in its own file, separate from other files. The chapter mentions two questions to think about when planning a website. Those questions are, “Who is the target audience?”, and “What do I want this site to accomplish?”. The chapter suggests creating an outline as a way to start organizing you thoughts for the website. It also talks about gathering and storage material for the website.
Having access to the ability to create your own website is good if someone has a message or product they want to introduce. An advantage to creating a webpage yourself is that it is cost effective. The software available makes it easy to do this. A disadvantage is that if you are not creative, you may not create an appealing website. You have to weigh the cost factor against the appeal of the finished product. If you slack on cost, you may be sacrificing sales and/or interest.
