A Web page is usually a collection of documents that make up a
Web site.
A home page is usually the main or cover page of a Web document
that contains an index or table of contents to the rest of the
document.

You will notice that there is much to be done before an HTML editor
is used. Taking the time to plan your page well in the beginning will
save you a great deal of headaches later on.

Content is the single most important aspect
of any Web page.

and contain useful, valid links to other Web
resources.
Content will guide many aspects of the
design of the page.

Design Considerations
Navigational Flow
Graphics
Text
Use of Color
Backgrounds
Multimedia
Notes
Not all users have GUI (graphical user interface) browsers. Many
are still using text only browsers.
Keep this in mind as you design your page. Try to provide a text
only version of your page.
At the very least, provide alternative text for every one of your
graphics.

Hierarchy or Tree
Most widely used and easy to navigate
flow.
Your content outline gives
you a built-in flowchart.
Information progresses from most general
to most detailed.
Provides multiple paths for multiple
audiences.

Linear
Moves in progression from the first page to
the last, like a book.
Works well when content presents a series
of steps or follows a process from start to
finish.

Use of Color
Keep colors simple - not too many
Not everyone can even see colors
Not every users system can support colors
as you author them
Dont use different shades of the same color
Remember that color is a personal
preference

Backgrounds
Keep it simple
Graphic backgrounds add more download
time to the page and can detract from
your text, making it hard to see and read
Color backgrounds can also make text hard to
read
Backgrounds can clash with text and
graphic colors
