Final Touches Miss Dinnella
Overview • During this class we have learned most of the components to a good website: • This lesson will go over the final touches to a successful, well-though, interactive and creative website
Splash Page • Generally consists of a default home page that displays the web site logo or some other web site promotion • Many splash pages use various types of interactive media-from Flash moves to animated graphics-and are good mood setters Example : Puma • Try to find your own Splash Page!
Frames • An area that acts as an independent browser window and acts independently of other regions in the window; using frames a web site is divided into multiple, scrollable regions, or panes. • Each frame contains its own source document • Ex. You have four different HTML documents displaying in a single window
Frames • You can create a web page to display the common links in one frame • Display the target web page in another frame • Display a navigation bar consisting of links in one frame and displaying the corresponding web pages in another • Placing a number of images in one frame and displaying the accompanying descriptions in another • Placing a list of vocabulary words in one frame and displaying their definitions in another
Static Frame • Do not change; contents remained fixed, even as new pages display in adjoining frames
Advantages of Frames • Navigations-related graphics do not have to be reloaded for every page in the web site • Each frame can have its own scroll bar, permitting the visitor to scroll the frames independently • Static content remains fixed • Content and navigation can be separated from each other in a clear way
Disadvantages of Frames • Some browsers and Netscape in particular, do not support the file:// protocol . The link to home or index page in this project, therefore, will not work in Netscape unless modified in the code • Frames may be difficult to navigate for visitors with disabilities
Publishing Your Website • Before publishing your website on iWeb you have to create a .mac account. • Use File-Publish or Publish button • iWeb translates your designs into HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) also prepares your graphics and then transfers everything to Apple’s servers, which dish it out the world. • Every time you make a change to your site you MUST republish it
Continued… • Normally a published site means everyone can see it. • You can post a guard on your site (at the door); using the Site inspector, you can specify a user name and password that visitors must specify before they can see your site. • You can also publish your website to a folder on your hard drive. You might take this path if you plan to transfer your site to a different Internet provider or burn your site to a CD or DVD
