What
is a Web Page ? |
|
| |
A
web page is a "screenful" of information. It can
be physically many times the length of a A4 sheet of paper,
or only a few lines.
|
|
| |
Different
lengths of page are used for different purposes and in different
circumstances. When we speak of a web page in terms of design,
we generally consider it to be on average, one screen wide
and, typically, about half a paper A4 page or a bit longer.

Pages
can have coloured backgrounds, or textures, so it is possible
to carry themes through a multi-page site by the use of
colour. Care needs to be taken however, because not all
viewers will have the latest high tech equipment capable
of seeing more than 216 colours, and in some circumstances,
it will be necessary to limit the number of colours to avoid
confusion for users. This sort of quality experience and
attention to detail is our hallmark. |
|
| |
Pages
serve different purposes. For example, on a small multi-page
website, the first page is likely to be a sort of summary,
contents or menu page, from which other pages may be accessed.
|
|
| |
If
it is a huge site, there may be cascading layers of contents
pages, or an "image map" of the site on each of
the pages, to make navigation around the site easier. A
popular vogue at the moment is a coloured panel on the left
or top of the screen to locate the sitemap and navigational
controls, as on this page. |
|
| |
Some
pages will be mostly information, and therefore biased toward
text. Others will be a mixture of text and photographs or
computer graphics, perhaps even animated, and some pages
could be mostly images. |

Usually,
pages would have "banner" perhaps incorporating
the logo of the organisation at, or toward, the top of the
page, and contact details at the foot. |

Page furniture can improve
the layout of your web pages. |

divider lines |

such as these |

may be used as appropriate
for emphasis, or to make it easy for viewers to find what
they want. |
|
| |
Most
website pages have interactive links that allow users to
move from page to page (and even from site to site if you
wish) without wasting time having to go through multiple
layers of menus like teletext. |
|
| |
Where
required, a response form can be provided a one page. This
is useful where you want to collect information from your
visitors in a standard format. |
