How To Start Building A Web Page
Lets start with changing the page colour. The background colour instructions to the browser are contained in the '<BODY>' line tag and you will need to add the following to this line:
<BODY BGCOLOR="#ffffff">
The #ffffff instructions are the colours, this one is white.
To alter this to other colours try some of the following.
#004040 = Black
#0000ff = Blue
#ff0000 = Red
#009900 = a nice Green colour!
Remember, once you have made an alteration to your source code, you must save the changes and then refresh/reload your browser window to view them.
And naturally if you have changed the background colour you will need to change the text colour from the default so that you can see it: <BODY BGCOLOR="#ffffff" TEXT="#000080">
This one #000080 is navy blue. You can use the numbers above for the text also. So now lets start with our first text line and add a title. Remember you have to tell it to be the title so start with the following. <H1>This Is My First Web Page<H1>
You will notice that this is in bold as it is a title.
Additional headings would be <H2> etc.
Now the body text
<P>This is my first web page<BR>
If this works it is a miracle!</P>
<P> = Paragraph, open and closing tags. <BR> = a line break.
A few simple tags for you to remember and don't forget they all require a closing '/' in the closing tag.
<STRONG> = Bold Text
<I> = Italics
<U> = Underlined
Your web page should now look something like the following;
<HTML>
<TITLE>My Web Page</TITLE>
<BODY BGCOLOR="#009900" TEXT="#ffffff">
<H1>This Is My First Web Page</H1>
<P>This is my first web page<BR>
If this works it is a miracle!</P>
<H2><U>About My Web Page</U></H2>
<P>If I have got this far I must be a genius<BR></P>
<P><STRONG>No, but you have <U>potential!</U></STRONG></P> size=-1></BODY>
</HTML>
So that's it, a good basic guide to HTML. We may follow these articles up with others but for now I hope this has given you some understanding of the complexities of building a web page. More information can always be found on the Internet, just do a search for 'HTML tutorials' on any good search engine such as AltaVista.
To run a successful web site you DO need to understand how a web page is designed because at some point you are going to need to edit those pages manually, if only to include banner ad or page hit counter coding.
I would not recommend any businessperson to go to the trouble of learning HTML in the year 2000 though, you will find learning French or German of more use.
There are now programs on the market called WYSIWYG ('What you see is what you get') editors, and these are better suited to busy business use. Two we recommend to our customers are Microsoft FrontPage and Adobe PageMill. They are not the easiest of programs for the beginner to master but once mastered they are relatively easy to use.
What I would recommend though is that; if you want to have a web site and update it yourself then get an original designed by a web page designer. That will then give you a professional looking template from which you can update or add additional pages to. If your designer will not let you do this then find another one - this is year 2003 not 1995!
A big mistake for any business to make is to launch a web site that is not finished or unprofessional looking. This will do your business more harm than good. Visitors never return to poor quality web sites, their memories are very long, and remember this is your business not a home page for your pet cat!
