Sample home page

There are a number of on-line resources you can consult to get started, such as the HTML Primer, a Beginner's Guide to HTML. Books and articles on the topic should also be readily available at your favorite bookstore or library.

• Design your HTML document so that it can be meaningfully accessed by non-graphics (ascii text only) browsers, such as lynx.
• Briefly explain/title your links.
• Remember that transferring large graphics by modem is time-consuming and, if overdone, can dillute your message, and sometimes even become annoying to the viewer.
• Keep your main index page short (around 2 screens), and branch out referencing other pages containing more detail if necessary, rather than creating one very long document.
• Maintain the context of the document by providing at least one full URL on your main index page, and links that point back to your home page on additional documents that were referenced.
• Take a look at what others have achieved, and model after what you like best.
