Hand Coding Simple Web Pages
Web pages may also be created from scratch, using nothing more than a simple text editor that comes with your Macintosh or PC (BBEdit for Mac, Notepad or Wordpad for PCs) or a word processing program such as Microsoft Word.
Here's how the process works:
- Sketch out the design of your page on a piece of paper. Decide whether or not you want horizontal divider lines between various sections of the page, whether you wish to include any graphics, if any portions of text will appear in larger type or
formatted to appear in bold or italics or with underlining.
- Once you have decided how you want the page to appear, then you are ready to begin the actual html coding. Remember, html is nothing more than a series of codes which appear in brackets around selected portions of text and tell your web browser how
to display your page on the computer screen.
