How to build a better web page !

The first thing you have to have is a idea.  Sometimes it is more effective to sketch what you want the webpage to look like first.   You will need graphics and clip art to make your page more attractive.   Remember large picture files will make your page load very slowly.   There are many good sources of clip art on the web.  

To do a webpage you have to have software to create it.  There are many types of software that will do this.   Most of us want something simple.  A what you see is what you get type program.

Webpages can be simple or complex depending on the amount of time you put into them.  

Some things to consider when designing a webpage.

Check your Spelling and Grammar it gives people the wrong impression if your site is full of errors.

Backgrounds are neat and cute but can clutter you page.  If the background is too busy people may not see your clipart or links to other pages.  It may also be hard to read your text on a busy, cluttered background. 

Give credit where it is deserved.  If you use someone else's clipart you shouldn't take credit for it.
