Web Page Design
Welcome to the Web Page Design class page. Our goals this semester are to learn XHTML, Web graphic creation, and Dreamweaver, the Web page creation program.
Class One
- Go over the syllabus
- Learn the basics of HTML
- Learn the basics of Fireworks, the Web image editing program from Macromedia
- Sign up for a Yahoo account so we can use the free Geocities Web hosting account
Homework
- Buy class text, jump drive, folder for class work, blank CD for Dreamweaver and Fireworks trial software
- Read chapter 1 and 8 of the class text
- Plan your Web site
- Decide its mission
Class Two
During class time we'll practice HTML. Then we will use Fireworks to create the graphics for our pages—a banner and buttons. Finally, we will use Cascading Style Sheets to decorate a web page for Valentine's Day. You can download the files here: http://homepage.mac.com/swanilda/
Homework
- Read chapter 6 of the class text (you should have read chapters 1 and 8 by now)
