How To Make a Web PageWritten by Stephen Cope
If you are able to create a document using a word processor like word then you are able to make a web page. Here we will look at how to make a web page using  Trellian WebPage page editor. Trellian Webpage is a WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) editor which hides technicalities of HTML.I have chosen to use this editor because it is a very simple and uncluttered yet a powerful web page editor, and equally as important, there is a completely free version available for download on Internet. If you don't currently have it then follow this link to download Trellian Webpage for free. In order to illustrate how to make a web page we are going to make a series of web pages to illustrate various aspects of a web page like headings, tables, images etc. None of examples will require a knowledge of HTML. However if you are interested in learning HTML then I have a series of articles showing how to make a web page using HTML
| | Making the most of your webserverWritten by Gareth McCumskey
When a company has a site they wish to host somewhere, especially small businesses with limited funds, they normally take advantage of special rates available from a hosting provider. There is nothing wrong with that, but it can cause some problems later due to "budget" nature of servers used.What happens when your site has a sudden increase in traffic? Great for your business but not for your webserver. A high amount of traffic on a site increases workload on server, which means that it might take longer for people to download site, and can, in a worst case scenario, crash your server, leaving visitors stranded. There are some ways though, to help decrease amount of work your server has to do. 1. Decrease File Sizes This is probably easiest to implement. Obviously, less data server has to send, less work it needs to do. If you have graphics that are 800x600 in size, and you only show them as 200x300 on page, it would be better to decrease their size in an image editing program before using it on site. You can also remove all unnecessary tag's and comments from web page code. Dreamweaver can actually do this for you at a click of a menu option. You can also download Absolute HTML Compressor to do it at www.download.com (its free). 2. Avoid dynamic pages The next thing to consider is use of dynamic pages (i.e. php, asp, xml, etc). When a user opens a dynamic page, web server first has to process dynamic page code, convert it into HTML, and then send it to visitors browser (a browser has no idea what php code actually means, only HTML). If you have pages that don't need to offer dynamic info, or don't need special server side processing, then make page HTML. This will reduce webservers load.
