You can create a Web page in any word processing or text editing program. You may want to use software designed specifically for Web authoring as they all but eliminate the need to know HTML language and make creating a Web site as simple as typing on a word processor. Many Web page editing programs also provide for basic editing and placement of graphics and have built-in file transfer protocols to upload your Web page to the server. Web pages consist of text marked with HTML tags that give a Web browser guidelines for how to display or align text and how to link text or graphics to another file on the Internet. Attention to detail counts, because HTML tags are picky, and typographical errors can wreak havoc on even simple pages.
Common sense counts when it comes to creating a Web page.
Most HTML tags set the structure of a page, not what a page looks like. People all over the world use the Web with all sorts of computers. As a result, well-done Web pages primarily use structural tags that emphasize text, make strong statements, set up lists and create topic headings. It is, therefore, good to see what your Web site looks like on many different Web browsers and computers, and then edit it appropriately. It is also important to name your graphics for people with browsers that cannot view them.
