Creating Web Pages



Web pages are written in a language known as HTML, consisting of standardized "tags" which are added to the text of your web page to specify formatting, insert pictures, and link to other web pages. You can create a web site either by using software specifically meant for authoring web pages or alternately by writing web pages "from scratch" using a text editor or word processor.


Using Web Page Authoring Software

A variety of software programs are available for generating home pages without having to learn HTML. We recommend Macromedia Dreamweaver, which is available in many Instructional Computing labs. Microsoft FrontPage is another web authoring program which is also available in many of these facilities.

Check out Instructional Computing's free software workshops for information on attending classes on using these programs.


Writing Web Pages

If you're interested in writing your own web pages we recommend taking one of Instructional Computing's HTML workshops. These free courses are offered throughout the quarter to assist you in creating web pages.

Additionally, you might check out the following guides for writing HTML:
