Designing Your Web Page Good design principles are essential when designing a Web page. This doesn't mean that you must be trained in graphic design, just stop and think about some of the features of your Web page. Bouncing balls and swirling discs may detract the reader from the content of the page. Another thing to keep in mind when designing a Web page is that not everyone who accesses your page will have a Pentium with 32 meg of RAM and a 19-inch color monitor. Many people access the Web via modem.
Large graphics can delay a Web page in loading.
The longer a page takes to load, the less likely they are to sit and wait for it to appear. It is usually recommended that you keep a graphic image between 35K and 50K. Large graphics can delay a Web page in loading. Also, make sure the graphic you want to use is not copyrighted or that you have proper permission to use a copyrighted graphic. Depending on how complex you have made your Web page, you may have one file or several files. When you have finished, transfer these files to your WWW subdirectory in your VMS account.
