Mr. M.'s rules of web design.

 

1. Animated gifs and dynamic effects. Keep animated gifs and dynamic effects to a minimum. Sometimes even one is too many. The content may determine if an animated gif is acceptable.

 

2. The Audience. Remember who you are making the page for. A business will want their site to look professional while a kindergarten teacher may want their site to be more fun.

 

3. Backgrounds. Background images or colors should never be a distraction. Keep the background simple. A busy, gaudy background looks unprofessional.

 

4. Organization. Organize, organize, organize. You want your audience to be able to find what they are looking for. Make good use of menus and tables.

 

5. Load time. Viewers will leave a site that takes too long to load. Keep the size and resolution of your images as low as possible. Divide up pages with a lot of images.

 

6. Consistency. Keep the look and feel of the pages consistent with the other pages for the site. Each page should look like it belongs with the other pages.

 

7. Content. A web page with little or no content is worthless. We use the internet for information. Make sure that you have enough content to keep the viewer at your site.

You may be able to do a feature not included in FrontPage such as a Java script. See the teacher for permission.

 

Part-2

Teach the class to construct the feature on their own page. Each student will have 15 minutes to demonstrate and peer teach their feature.

 

Tips:

 

-Make sure your directions are clear and precise. Anyone should be able to construct your feature.

-Organize your instructions. Use the words :"Step 1", "Step 2" and so on.

-Use colored text to help make the content more clear. Be careful not to over do it.

 

 

 

Example Feature Idea:

Dynamic HTML (DHTML) effects

Dynamic HTML (DHTML) is a Microsoft enhancement to HTML version 4.0 that enables you to create visual effects or improve the layout of a web page.

For example, a visual effect might be an animation in which text appears to fly off the page one word at a time. A page layout improvement could take the form of a space-saving collapsible outline. The blue links below are designed using DHTML so that you can click them to show more content.
