Creating a Web page
A Web page is an HTML file on the Web. With the AppleWorks translator,
you can easily create an HTML file without understanding HTML or how it
works. You simply create a word processing document and save your work
as an HTML file. You see immediately how your document will look on the
Web.
Note The AppleWorks HTML translator displays a Web page in a standard
format. However, your Web page may appear different on different
browsers. You can customize the format for specific browsers by clicking
the HTML Configuration button and adding or modifying the tags that are
exported.
Designing your Web page
Before you create a Web page, it’s a good idea to learn about effective Web
page design. You can find such information in the computer and software
sections of bookstores, in computer industry magazines, in classes and
seminars, and on the Internet. In addition, browse the Web and note aspects
of other Web pages that you’d like to use in your own.
As you create a Web page with AppleWorks, keep the following design tips
in mind:
1
Keep your design simple and uncluttered. An orderly design makes it
easier to scan the page to find information.
1
Limit the size of your page so that users scroll no more than three screens.
1
Use headings so that users can scan the page and read the portions
they want.
1
Consider separating areas of text with horizontal lines.
