Web Design Session 2

PHP File -
Communication between a website and a database eg. Amazon. Otherwise the site would have thousands of pages and be incredibly slow.

ASP -
Similar to PHP.

CSS-
Cascading Style Sheet, used for fonts, overall design etc.

JavaScript-
Used mainly for sound, Games.


Below is the code for the simplest website with no content.


The on line 1 tells us that from now on we are talking in html. The same code appears again on line 9 but with a forward slash which tells us that we have finished.

Anything you want to be visible must go between the body tags.


Above shows the site being linked to the root folder where all the files for the site are kept, within this is the images folder. This then shows up in the bottom left window where you will now only be able to access files in the root and images folders.


Creating the first webpage:


The homepage must be saved as 'index.html' as this is the web standard which is internationally recognised.
