This is a two-part article about creating a web site on the web and the tools that you need to do that.
During
the last decade we have truly entered the information age. More and
more people are becoming a part of the ever growing and wondrous
community called the Internet. It was just over a decade ago that
‘Internet’ was just another new concept that a lot of people were
skeptical about. Today however, it would be difficult to imagine living
in the world without this amazing phenomenon. It really has enabled
humans to reach new heights.
Some basic terminology that you should take a look at before proceeding further:
Web Page: A document that contains information created with the help of HTML.
Web Site: A collection of web pages on a particular subject.
HTML:
Also known as Hyper Text Markup Language, this is used for the creation
of web pages. Information is written in between HTML tags to instruct
the web page as to how information will be displayed. You can also put
images into the web page by using this language. Some other languages
like JavaScript, VB script, ASP, ASP.NET etc. are also used to display
dynamic content on web pages and for performing user driver events.
There are basically two main categories of web sites:
Personal web site: These include websites that are about individual human beings/people.
Business web site: Includes web sites that advertise and inform users about the products and services that a company is selling.
