What do you need to design a web page? If you know the html language all you need is
a computer and a text editor. If you
don’t know html there are several different software programs that can help
you. I use Adobe’s Dreamweaver. Dreamweaver helps create sophisticated Web
sites without having to write a lot of code. Some people think that with
Dreamweaver you don’t need to know any code in order to create a web page. While this might be true, understanding what
is happening behind the scenes can make the difference between a so-so web page
and an outstanding one. Dreamweaver has both a design view that is a
WYSIWYG, or What You See Is What You Get Editor and a code view that shows the
code. There is also a split view that slows you to see both the code and the
page as it actually looks. Switching between views is very helpful. I am taking a class at Northwest Vista
College and over the next few weeks I am going to write about what I am
learning. Next week I will cover making
a template page that helps make all the pages on a site more consistent.
