CREATING YOUR OWN WEB SITE

CREATING YOUR OWN WEB SITE

So now that you've seen all those web pages you begin to wonder: How can I create my own web page?

Well the answer is not that simple, but is not impossible.

These are some common elements on a Web Page:

ELEMENTS	FUNCTION
Page Title	Appears in the browser tittle bar. Many search engines index pages based on the words in the page title.
Headings	Break the page into sections, which adds organization and visual interest. Headings range from size 6, the smallest, to size 1, the largest.
Text	The text on a Web page is the "meat" because generally it provides the information.
Graphics	Pictures tell a story. Graphics images on the page need to be added separately. Some designers add graphics images to the background of a page
Hyperlinks	Hyperlinks on a Web page provide jumps to other locations. Each link is actually made up of two parts. The anchor, which is the portion you click, is usually text but can be a graphic. The URL portion shows the location to which the user moves when the anchor is clicked
Contact Information	Most pages display the name and e-mail address of the page owner.

There are many sites which can help you to built your own home page.
