Designing a Web Page

Authors Avatar
For this coursework I have designed a Web Page using the HTML tagging on Notepad. Hypertext markup language, or HTML, is the basic tongue of the World Wide Web. From simple personal pages to corporate supersites, every Web page has its foundations set in HTML. We can access HTML "source" for any Web page we visit. On both Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer, you'll find "Page Source" (or simply "Source") listed under the "View" menu. I have made my website on cricket as it is my favorite game. My aim in making this website is to tell people about some of the things going on in the world of cricket. This website will also have a description of the game and how it is played. People who don't know about can read it and develop an interest in it. Specially if you see that in most countries cricket is not such a popular game and is not often played in with football, rugby etc and in some countries people don't even have a clue what this game is like so my webpage would tell them something about it. I have also included the latest laws of cricket which I got from the MCC.

In this section I will describe what tools I used and where I got the material I have put in my website.

* Sources

These are the places I gathered the information from to use in my website.

. Newspapers (Dawn, News and Nation)

2. Magazines (Cricketer, Cricket Talk, Dawn Review and Cricketer International)

3. Websites (www.thatscricket.com, www.dawn.com, www.totalcricket.com and www.supersport.co.za)

* Netscape Composer and Front Page 2001

Netscape composer comes with the software of Netscape Communicator which includes Netscape Browser, Netscape Mail etc. Front Page comes with Microsoft Office. I used Front Page 2001 which comes with Microsoft Office XP 2001 as it is the latest version. These two programs are used to make web pages. They are very simple and easy to use.

I used these two software to find out some of the HTML tags I needed, for example to insert a background sound. I got the tag by just inserting a background sound in the normal view of the software and then recording it by going into the HTML view.

* Notepad

Notepad is one of the simplest web authoring software. The menus are nicely laid out, for all standards in design. The four menus provide us with more than all the options we need to create and edit the finest HTML code.
