Course Follow-up

In this course, you learned how to create, edit, and publish web pages that include text and

pictures to an intranet or to the World Wide Web. Also, you learned how to apply formatting

to the different sections of web pages, incorporate FrontPage’s components into a web, and

create tables, text, and images. Now, when you need to create a web page for business or per-

sonal use, you now possess the skills to create a basic web.

1. When planning to create a web, what resources do you currently have available? What

resources would you need in order to successfully create the web?

Answers will vary, but may include: Existing content (brochures, catalogs, flyers, ads,

press releases, logos, photos, and so on), existing talent—support from other departments

(art, marketing, sales, corporate, and so forth), and existing hardware and software

(computers, servers, software licenses, and so on).

2. Consider the type of pictures or images that your web requires. Does FrontPage con-

tain the necessary features and tools necessary to create and edit those graphics? Will

you need other software?

Answers will vary.

3. Considering the amount of content contained within your web, what navigational ele-

ments might you use to make it easier for site visitors to navigate the web? What

navigational elements might you choose to avoid? Why?

Answers may include: Link bars based on the web’s navigation structure, link bars con-

taining custom links, and link bars with Next and Back buttons, image maps, and/or

manual (typed) hyperlinks. Reasons to avoid certain navigation elements may include: too

complicated to manage, too much room for error (especially when you enter manual

hyperlinks), and so on.

4. How do you foresee using tables in your web?

Answers may include: For controlling page and content layout, or as easily formatted data

containers.

5. When you are planning to publish a web, what are some issues that you should con-

sider?

Answers will vary, but may include: Running spell checks, organizing files, generating site

reports, and creating backup copies of a web.
