HTML web developement

During the first week, the assignment was to create a personal web page using HTML and CSS, describing our final project. I had a little experience with dreamweaver, an adobe website builder, but I got introduced to brackets an open source web development program that is quite easy to use and learn.

Here are some open source templates that are easy to use for creating website:

I have picked my website template from 'Open source web design' called 'uncomplicated' a very clean and easy template example that I have modified to suit my style.

I have added few useful websites as well that our tutor, Ferdinand Meier, recommended us to learn more about the coding and HTML. The tutorials and reference are really helpful.

When creating a website using HTML coding it is very important to follow few tips:

1: All images should be compressed to web resolution. 1MG max image size

2: Always organize your files, files name, html pages in folders.

3: No capitals, no special caracters, no spaces should be used while creating folders, files, scripts

4: It will become very difficult to keep track of all the tasks that will keep building up during the weekly assigments so it is very important to organize the folders, the website, the working hours, the tasks ect. As Neil Gershenfeld mentioned in our first video conference this week, the project management is very important to understand and follow.
