Art 354 Web Design
Topic 1
Web Standards
Keeping to the standards of the web while coding your html and css will one, massively help you when dealing with many devices and application that could run your site. Whether its chrome, firefox, or any others that you search from. There are some sites that will run your css more consistently throughout your progress and then there are sites that will store information that will run faster within launch. Firefox renders out the css and html fairly similar to others out there, if web didn’t have a standard we would have so many inconsistencies within sites when switching over to other platforms, which would ruin the viewership of the site because people would think that your catering to a certain group of people and showing something lesser to others, or the worse case scenario would be that the sites don’t even work on the other platforms which in result would cost hours or coding to other platforms.
Topic 2
Content and presentation
With designing the look and what information you want to put out to your website for your customers. Everything that you have within your website is content to some degree, from the images to the words to even the price of something, because it provides critical information for the viewer. Now how we create this look for our viewers will be a mix of both xhtml (structure) and css (presentation). XHTML defines what each element of content we have on the page can and can’t do, css or cascading style sheets allows you to define how each element of content will look when your viewer is on the site.
Topic 3
XHTML/HTML
Xhtml is a simple and efficient way that people can understand when editing the code and the code will be able to be used on a broad range of devices. There are some rules to the structure of things that help it run smoothly, declaring your doctype whether the site is strict, transitional, or frameset, making sure that every tag of code is closed. The easy way to stay within the structure will to think of it as a sandwich of code having your html the first and last part of the structure then to your main filling up the middle and having the body or core of the page being more centralized right in the middle of the structure.
