FrontPage is a programme
which will allows you to create a web site for the World Wide
Web. It is a programme for the beginner and sophisticated
user. Web pages written with FrontPage are viewed on the
Internet with Internet Explorer or Netscape navigator.
This set of tip sheets will
introduce you to the programme. They will help you create
your own web site and give you a foundation in the programme.
Once these sheets have been worked through you should be able
to create a very good web site.
A web site is a collection
of interactive pages hosted on the World Wide Web. The
pages usually comprise graphics and text. In the past
web designers wrote their web pages in pure HTML coding.
If you wish to work with the HTML coding you can but FrontPage
makes that task unnecessary.
Below we have examples of
the same web page in FrontPage. The first graphic is
in Normal. The second graphic shows the same work but
in HTML - note the coding. In FrontPage you do not
need to worry about HTML coding.
FrontPage is a WYSIWYG (What
You See Is What You Get) programme. What you have on
your screen when creating the page, is usually what you get
when you view it with a web browser. The graphic below
is the same corner of text as the previous graphics but viewed
with a web browser. It has the same white column space,
the same text but different font.
