A homepage, which is the starting page for a browser, is similar to a book cover or a table of contents for a web site. It provides information about the Web site’s purpose and content. The initial home page that displays is selected by your Web browser. (Shelly, Cashman, Vermaat:2002) A homepage is also a page on the browser which can be customized by a user, including information such as their names, hobbies, interest’s, photo’s etc.
Techlinknet, Dearborn, Mich., has launched Techlinknet Web Developer, an online web page creator that anybody with Internet access can easily use. The Home Page Creator has been uniquely coded by javascript to simplify creating web pages directly on a customer's computer desktop. Web pages are created automatically online through an easy to follow six step process, with no software to download or install.
Techlinknet's claim they have kept the customer in mind, by using the power of advanced programming languages to create an interface that is very straight forward and easy to understand. Their goal is to bring the power of immediate web site construction and communication to anyone who has access to the internet with no limits.
The Techlinknet Web Developer guides the user through the six step approach with ease. The user is first asked for brief general information, then quickly moves into the design elements. The vast depth of choices in background colors, text colors and the ability to include hot hypertext links makes the results seemingly endless.
The idea is to let the computer do the work to easily create incredible web pages in tiny HTML files. On-the-fly user instructions are also available to assist the user every step of the way. To create a more dramatic web page design the user can enhance their page web page with the addition of graphics and help is just an email away. ()
However Web page authoring software helps users of all skill levels create fascinating Web pages that include graphical images, video, audio, animation and other special effects. In addition, many Web page authoring packages allow users to organize, manage and maintain Web sites.
Many application software packages include Web page authoring features. This allows home users to create basic Web pages using packages such as Microsoft Word or Microsoft Excel. For more sophisticated Web pages, users work with Web page authoring software. Many Web page developers also use multimedia authoring software along with, or instead of, Web page authoring software for Web page development. (Shelly, Cashman, Vermaat:2002)
If you want to create a Web page, but do not have the time to learn HTML, then consider using one of the office XP applications. For example, Word provides two techniques for creating Web pages. By asking a series of questions the Web Page Wizard designs a Web page that can contain frames. Once you have created Web pages, you can publish them. Publishing them is the process of making Web pages available to others, for example, on the World Wide Web. (Shelly, Cashman, Vermaat:2002)
