Practising Working On Dreamweaver.

Having been shown by Komal & Gary the important and the parts we are going to need for Adobe Dreamweaver. Thus we began practising with it before we even started designing our websites. This is so we can get to grips with it and it could help with some of our initial designs if we know how it works and what the features are.

First we had ago with some basic HTML editing on notepad. Using notepad I made a basic homepage design.
The HTML part of the coding is used to start every document and is also used so that the browser knows it's a HTML document. (Highlighted in blue.) The HEAD part of the coding (Highlighted in green.) it's mainly used so that everything in it contains all the design parts of the webpage. The title of the webpage that would show up in the browsers window for example. And the BODY part of the document is literately the body of the document so for example everything that the document contains tables, text ect.
On my homepage I have used headers (<h1> & <h4>) The closer the number is to one the bigger the header size is, going up to 8 anyway. I have used normal paragraphed text (<p>) in the document part of it is in bold. (<b>)  On my site I have included a hyper link that goes to another webpage. <a> and then the href="hhfhfhf.html" is the link to where the file of that other webpage is. I included this because it looks better in a table this is done by typing <table> then <tr> is each row and <td> is each section of the table.
At the ending of the webpage you have to make sure you close all the other sections as you can see in the purple highlightion I didn't forget to do this.

All of the above was done using Notepad which is pre-installed on every Windows machine. However we also did some practice using Adobe Dreamweaver. This is essentially using the same process however it looks a lot fancier and its designed to make everything simpler and better for the user.  Below is a quick page which I had designed quickly on the software. Using this software can also help with making sure everything fits in the right place a good example of this is the use of the blue box around the main header text, shown in the image below.
