Introduction to web design

Let's get started. We will need:

  • a text editor Sublime Text
  • a web browser eg Google Chrome
  • a positive spirit!

1. Get organised

Web Design projects mean you will be working with lots of files.

First, set up a project folder for Focus 1. Create the following folder structure on your computer:

2. Choose a text editor

You will be doing a lot of typing!

Choose a good text editor to type your HTML script.

Some options are:

Windows Mac
Notepad++ Sublime Text

Task 1

Download these image files and save them in your Focus 1 project folder.

Task 2

Download this webpage and save them in your Focus 1 project folder.

Task 3

Open in a web browser.

Open in a text editor.

Can you figure out how to do splitscreen to view your browser and text editor at the same time?

Task 4

Edit the text file with your name instead of Jack Jones.

Save the text file.

Refresh the browser.

Can you see your name in the web page now?

Task 5

Edit the text file with information about you instead of Jack Jones. Each time you make a change:

Save the text file.

Refresh the browser.

Does the webpage update properly?

Task 6

Can you replace the three images with images about you?

This is tricky! Can you figure it out?!
