Webpage Basics

There are so many aspects to be looked upon when designing a web page. How to work systematically is something that bothers. This time I will help you solve this query.

Web pages are written in HTML. HTML is a special language for web designing. Web pages are simple to explain. As the name suggests they are simple pages made on web that provide links to other pages or sectors of the text. But this does not mean they are like printed pages. A heading underlined on a paper means it is something vital or a heading of the following text. Whereas an underlined word on a web page indicates that it is a link to some other page having details about it. Never make the mistake of considering a web page like a printed page. Their attributes are variable. The similarity is that both represent. That is it. Designing them, their tools and techniques are different.

Web pages may consist of not only text but also pictures. Pictures occupy space on a paper. But an image on a web page adds to its volume and downloading time. This is because the file gets bigger due to more bytes. A picture even if of a small size of an inch or so, is equal to 1000s of bytes. For a web page it is not the space but volume to be concerned of. Nowadays web pages without color and image are considered boring. To reduce download time we need to zip the files. The browser will then quickly receive the compressed file and decompress it to the user. This can help reduce time and at the same time add pictures to your web page.
