Brochure:

A brochure is an informative paper document often used for advertising that can be folded into a template, pamphlet, or leaflet. Brochures are promotional documents, primarily used to introduce a company, organization, products, or services to the public. Brochures are distributed inside newspapers, handed out personally, or placed in brochure racks in high-traffic locations. They may be considered grey literature.

Now day’s brochures are also available in electronic format and are called e-brochures. They have the added benefit of having unlimited distribution and cost savings when compared to traditional paper brochures.

The most common types of single-sheet brochures are the bi-fold (a single sheet printed on both sides and folded into halves) and the tri-fold (the same, but folded into thirds). A bi-fold brochure results in four panels (two panels on each side), while a tri- fold results in six panels (three panels on each side).

Booklet brochures are made of multiple sheets most often saddle stitched stapled on the creased edge, or perfect bound like a paperback book, and result in eight or more panels.

Greeting Card/ Invitation Card/ Compliment Card:

A greeting card/ Invitation card/ compliment card is a piece of card or high quality paper expressing friendship or any other sentiment. Although these cards are usually given on special occasions such as Birthdays, Anniversary, Christmas, Diwali or other holidays, they are also sent to convey thanks or express other feelings. These cards are usually packaged with an envelope, come in a variety of styles. There are both mass-produced as well as handmade versions that are distributed by hundreds of companies. These can also be designed with the help of MS Publisher.

Award Certificates:

  1. An award is something given to a person, a group of people, or an organization in recognition of their excellence in a certain field. An award may be accompanied by trophy, title, certificate, medal, badge, pin, or ribbon.
  2. Certification refers to the confirmation of certain characteristics of an object, person, or organization. This confirmation is often, but not always, provided by some form of external review, education, assessment, or audit.
  3. Certificates of achievement, merit, and honor can be powerful tools when used at the right time and presented in the right way.
  4. Receiving an award certificate gives a person the warm glow of knowing someone took the time to acknowledge them. And being the person who motivates others can be rewarding, too.
  5. Award certificates may include: Community Service Award, Great Job, Good Behavior or Course Completion. MS Publisher provides many templates for creating Award Certificates.

Envelops:

An envelope is a common packaging item, usually made of thin flat material. It is a flat paper container with a sealable flap designed to enclose a flat object, such as a letter, card or document. Traditional envelopes are made from sheets of paper. They are most commonly used for enclosing and sending mail (letters) through a prepaid-postage postal system. We can create envelop with MS publisher. After selecting the required envelop design, edit the color scheme and click on Create button. Now we can edit the envelop information and save it as a publication.

Labels:

A label is a piece of paper, polymer, cloth, metal, or other material affixed to a container or product. Information printed directly on a container or item can also be considered labeling. Labels have many uses, including providing information on a product’s origin, manufacturer (e.g., brand name), use, shelf- life and disposal etc. Many hazardous products such as poisons or flammable liquids must have a warning label.

Labels can be used for:

  1. Products. Permanent product labels need to remain secure throughout the life of the product. For example, a food label must.be secure until the food has been used.
  2. Packaging. Packaging may have labeling attached to or integral with the package. These may carry pricing, barcodes, UPC (Universal Product Code) identification, usage guidance, addresses, advertising, recipes, and so on.
  3. Assets: In industrial or military environments, asset labeling is used to clearly identify assets for maintenance and operational purposes. Such labels are frequently made of engraved Trifoliate or a similar material.
  4. Textiles. Garments normally cany separate care/treatment labels which typically indicate how the item should be washed for e.g. machine washed or diy cleaned. Textile labels may be woven into the garment or attached, and may be heat resistant, colorfast, washable. Printed labels are an alternative to woven labels.
  5. Mailing. Mailing labels identify the addressee, the sender and any other information which may be useful in transit.
  6. Security Labels. They are used for authentication, theft reduction, and protection against counterfeit and are commonly used on ID cards, credit cards, packaging, and products from CDs to electronics to clothing.
  7. Labels may be used for any combination of identification, information, and warning, instructions for use, environmental advice or advertising. They may be stickers, permanent or temporary labels or printed packaging.

Letterhead:

It is stationery with a printed heading. The heading usually consists of a name and an address, a logo or corporate design, and sometimes a background pattern. The term “letterhead” is often used to refer to the whole sheet imprinted with such a heading. Many companies and individuals prefer to create a letterhead template in a word processor or other software application. This generally includes the same information as pre-printed stationery, but at lower cost. Letterhead can then be printed on stationery or plain paper as needed or sent electronically.

Calendar:

A calendar is a system of organizing days for social, religious, commercial or administrative purposes. This is done by giving names to periods of time, typically days, weeks, months and years. Calendars are also used to help people manage their personal schedules, time and activities.

Calendars are also used as part of a complete timekeeping system: date and time of day together to specify a moment in time.

Resumes:

A resume provides a summary of our education, work history, credentials, and other accomplishments and skills. There are also optional sections, including a resume objective and career summary statement. Resumes are the most common document requested of applicants in job applications. A resume should be as concise as possible. Typically, a resume is one page long, although sometimes it can be as long as two pages. Often resumes include bulleted lists to keep information concise.

Curriculum vitae(CV)

Like resume, a curriculum vitaE (CV) provides a summary of one’s experience and skills. Typically, CVs are longer than resumes – at least two or three pages. CVs include information on one’s academic background, including teaching experience, degrees, research, awards, publications, presentations, and other achievements. CVs are thus much longer than resumes, and include more information, particularly related to academic background. We can create CVs with the help of MS Publisher in same way we have created Resumes above.

Menus:

In a restaurant, there is a menu of food and beverage offerings. A menu may be a list from which guests use to choose options available. Basically Menu is the main way to give or take order from guest. Guest may order properly to see the menu and be aware about our food and price. MS Publisher provides many templates for creating a Menu.

Signs:

A sign is a piece of paper, clothe, wood or any other material which is painted with pictures or words and which gives some information about a particular place, product, or event. We can create any of these sign using publisher.

Paper Folding Projects:

The paper folding templates include patterns for paper airplanes and origami projects alike. They include pages (that may require trimming) with “fold- lines” and others with instructions to create our paper masterpieces. We can enjoy these Paper Folding Projects in our leisure time and can make some creative things.

  • As its name suggests, HTML is a Markup Language which means you use HTML to simply “mark-up” a text document with tags that tell a Web browser how to structure it to display.

HTML:

Originally, HTML was developed with the intent of defining the structure of documents like headings, paragraphs, lists, and so forth to facilitate the sharing of scientific information between researchers.

Web page has many elements as page style, paragraph, list, table and picture etc. Each section is written in the form of tag. The tags indicate that the element viz. heading, list, paragraph etc to which the section of web page relates. Picture, sound and movie can be included in addition to the text in a web page.

Structure of Document:

It is easier to understand the structure of a HTML document. The complete document is written between <HTML> and </HTML> tags. The tags <Head>, <Body>, <Title>etc are written between these. The structure of HTML document is explained in detail below:
PSEB 10th Class Computer Notes Chapter 2 HTML Fundamentals Notes 1

Creating A Web Page or Html Document:

Web page is the first page of a website. This gives an introduction about whole website. This page contains many types of the links which are related with other web pages.
The whole of work regarding creation of web document is done in notepad. The steps to be followed to open a notepad are:
1. Start → Programs → Accessories → Notepad
Or
2. Notepad can also be opened by typing notepad in Run dialog box.
The notepad windows will be displayed. Create the document in the notepad as under :
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE> First Web Page</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
This is my first Web page in HTML document.
</BODY>
</HTML>

HTML Tags:

HTML is made up of different tags and attributes. The tag is an HTML command that shows the layout or displays the desired output of a whole or part of the web page. HTML tag is bound by angular brackets ( <> ) that always opens with a < (less than) sign and closes with a > (greater than) sign. It controls the appearance, layout and flow of the web page.
A tag contains three parts: element (identification of tag), attribute and value.
HTML tags can be of two types:
1. Container/Paired Tags
2. Empty/Singular Tags

1. Container/Paired Tags. It is also called container tag. A tag is said to be a paired tag if it along with a companion tag or closing tag appears at the end. For example, the tag is paired tag. The tag with its closing tag is used to render in Bold Text. In paired tag, first tag is called the opening tag and the second tag is called the closing tag.

2. Empty/Singular Tags. The second type of tag is the singular tag, which is also known as a stand-alone tag or empty tag. The stand-alone tag does not have companion tag or closing tag.
For example: Other singular tags are:
Tags Description
<BR> Insert a link break
<HR> Defines a horizontal rule
<!–> Defines a comment

HTML Attributes:

An attribute defines a property for an element, consists of an attribute/value pair, and appears within the element’s start tag. An element’s start tag may contain any number of space separated attribute/value pairs.
An attribute is used to define the characteristics of an HTML element and is placed inside the element’s opening tag. All attributes are made up of two parts – a name and a value:
1. The name is the property you want to set. For example, the paragraph <p> element in the example carries an attribute whose name is align, which you can use to indicate the alignment of paragraph on the page.
2. The valuers what you want the value of the property to be set and always put within quotations.

Tags Attributes

PSEB 10th Class Computer Notes Chapter 2 HTML Fundamentals

Body Tags:

It is main tag of HTML. It contains all other tags. Everything written in this tag is displayed.

Background Attributes:

It defines background image of HTML document <Body Background = “Image.JPG”>

Bg Color attribute:

It defines background color of HTML document <Body bgcolor = ” green” >

Difference between Background and BGCOLOR:

The difference between background and BGCOLOR is as ahead:

Background BGCOLOR
1. Background attribute is used in body as well as in table tag ,to add background image in the given webpage or a table. 1. BGCOLOR attribute is used in body as well as in table tag, to change the background color of the webpage or a table.
2 Syntax <body background= “Red”> 2. Syntax is <table bgcolor=”Green” >
3. Example : <BQDY background-‘image.jpg”> 3. Example : <body bgcolor-‘green”>

Text Attribute:

It defines Text Color in HTML document <Body Text = “Read”>

Formatting In Html Documents:

HTML Headings

The heading tag is used to fix the heading. There are 6 levels of heading in all. The levels are numbered as heading 1 to heading 6. All the letters of the heading in a given level have same font. The font size goes on decreasing as we move from heading 1 to heading 6. The heading in level 1 is expressed by tags <H1> and </Hl>. Similarly in the heading in level 2 we use the tags <H2> and </H2>. <H6> is the lowest level. The font size in it is the smallest.

Tags – Description
<H1 >…</HI> – A first-level heading.
<H2>…</H2> – A second-level heading.
<H3>…</H3> – A third-level heading.
<H4>…</H4> – A fourth-level heading (seldom used).
<H5>…</H5> – A fifth-level heading (seldom used).
<H6>…</H6> – A sixth-level heading (seldom used).

Font Tag

Fonts play a very important role in making a website more, user friendly and increasing content readability. Font face and color depends entirely on the computer and browser that is being used to view your page but you can use HTML <font> tag to add style, size, and color to the text on your website. You can use a <basefont> tag to set all of your text to the same size, face, and color.

The font tag is having three attributes called size, color, and face to customize your fonts. To change any of the font attributes at any time within your webpage, simply use the <font> tag. The text that follows will remain changed until you close with the </font> tag. You can change one or all of the font attributes within one <font> tag.

PSEB 10th Class Computer Notes Chapter 2 HTML Fundamentals

Set Font Size

You can set content font size using size attribute. The range of accepted values is from 1 (smallest) to 7(largest). The default size of a font is 3.

Setting Font Face

You can set font face using face attribute but be aware that if the user viewing the page doesn’t have the font installed, they will not be able to see it. Instead user will see the default font face applicable to the user’s computer.

Specify Alternate Font Faces

A visitor will only be able to see your font if they have that font installed on their computer. So, it is possible to specify two or more font face alternatives by listing the font face names, separated by a comma.
<font face = “drial,helvetica”>
When your page is loaded, their browser will display the first font face available. If none of the given fonts are installed, then it will display the default font face, Times New Roman.

Setting Font Color

You can set any font color you like using color attribute. You can specify the color that you want by either the color name or hexadecimal code for that color.

Paragraph Tag:

Paragraph is the basic composition of HTML, Paragraph is started with <P> tag and closes with </P> tag. Whenever one has to get to next line leaving one line blank, <P> tag is used. The tag <P> leave a space equivalent to one line between previous line and the following line.

Paragraph Tag Attributes

The paragraph tag has a few basic attributes you should learn about to start with.

  • id – this has to be unique to the page. An id can be used on multiple pages but only once on a single page.
    An id can be used in the stylesheet to set specific formatting to the paragraphs with this id.
  • class – A class is used to apply styling to the paragraph. It can be applied to many paragraphs on the page or across the whole website.
  • lang – defines the language used in the paragraph. You would use this if the contents of the paragraph is different from the base language of the web page. e.g. French when the rest of the page is in English.
  • style – The style attribute is used when you want to apply specific styling to a paragraph.

Novice web page coders and some HTML editors do this when using the design view of the HTML editor like a word processing program. This adds unnecessary coding to the web page as this is a typical styling it can be applied using the stylesheet.

Using the style attribute of the paragraph tag makes it hard to manage the editing of the website because in the future if you want to change the styling you have to hunt down every instance of that inline style in all the pages. This can be quite a bit of work if you have a large site. We would recommend that you try and avoid using this paragraph tag attribute all together but if you absolutely have to use it, use it very few times.

PSEB 10th Class Computer Notes Chapter 2 HTML Fundamentals

The Line Break:

The line break tag is used to start the text from the new line. This tag does not leave a blank line space as the paragraph tag does. The text jumps to new line on using line break tag. The tag <BR> is a symbol for line break.

Difference between <P> and <BR> tags.

The difference between <P> and <BR> tag is as follows:

Paragraph <P> Tag Break <BR>Tag
1. <P> tag is a container element which marks a block of text as a paragraph in a webpage and tlxl web browser leaves a line between two paragraphs. This tag has an attribute ALIGN, which can take three values – left, right and center. 1. The <P> tag denotes a paragraph and ends with a </P> and is a container tag. t < BR> tag b an empty element that is used to break a line and display the proceeding text from the next line, without giving any spare between two lines. It has no attribute. The <BR> is a line break and is an empty tag.
2. This tag is used to define paragraphs with in your text. 2. This tag is simply a line break. It just jumps to the next line without any spacing or formatting options.
3. Example: <P>hello Dear students </P> 3. Example : Hello<BR>Dear Students.

The HR Tag

The HR (Horizontal Ruler) tag is a very helpful html element for dividing up sections of text in a page, without having to resort to one pixel high graphic. The problem is that left unstyled, your leaving it up to the browser to determine how it looks. Which can be indifferent at the best of times.

One way to control this is by using the available HTML attributes:

  • align: [left, center and right] noshade: (solid line)
  • size: [pixel value] line height of the element
  • width: [ pixel or percentage value ] width of the element

HTML Lists:

HTML offers web authors three ways for specifying lists of information. All lists must contain one or more list elements. Lists may contain:

  • <ul> – An unordered list. This will list items using plain bullets.
  • <ol> – An ordered list. This will use different schemes of numbers to list your items.
  • <dl> – A definition list. This arranges your items in the same way as they are arranged in a dictionary.

PSEB 10th Class Computer Notes Chapter 2 HTML Fundamentals

HTML Ordered Lists

If you are required to put your items in a numbered list instead of bulleted, then HTML ordered list will be used. This list is created by using <ol> tag. The numbering starts at one and is incremented by one for each successive ordered list element tagged with <li>.

Example
PSEB 10th Class Computer Notes Chapter 2 HTML Fundamentals Notes 3

The type Attribute

You can use type attribute for <ol> tag to specify the type of numbering you like. By default, it is a number. Following are the possible options:

  • <ol type = “1”> – Default-Case Numerals.
  • <ol type = “I”> – Upper-Case Numerals.
  • <ol type = “i”> – Lower-Case Numerals.
  • <ol type = “A”> – Upper-Case Letters.
  • <ol type = “a”> – Lower-Case Letters.

The start Attribute

You can use start attribute for <ol> tag to specify the starting point of numbering you need. Following are the possible options:

  • <ol type = “1” start = “4”> – Numerals starts with 4.
  • <ol type = “I” start = “4”> – Numerals starts with IV.
  • <ol type = “i” start = “4”> – Numerals starts with iv.
  • <ol type = “a” start = “4”> – Numerals starts with d.
  • <ol type = “A” start = “4”> – Numerals starts with D.

HTML Unordered List:

An unordered list is a collection of related items that have no special order or sequence. This list is created by using HTML <ul> tag. Each item in the list is marked with a bullet.
Example
PSEB 10th Class Computer Notes Chapter 2 HTML Fundamentals Notes 4

The type Attribute:

You can use type attribute for <ul> tag to specify the type of bullet you like. By default, it is a disc. Following are the possible options:

  • <ul type = “square”>
  • <ul type = “disc”>
  • <ul type = “circle”>

PSEB 10th Class Computer Notes Chapter 2 HTML Fundamentals

HTML Definition Lists:

HTML and XHTML supports a list style which is called definition lists where entries are listed like in a dictionary or encyclopedia. The definition list is the ideal way to present a glossary, list of terms, or other name/value list.
Definition List makes use of following three tags:

  • <dl> – Defines the start of the list
  • <dt> – A term –
  • <dd> – Term definition
  • </ dl> – Defines the end of the list

Example
PSEB 10th Class Computer Notes Chapter 2 HTML Fundamentals Notes 5

Difference between Ordered and Unordered Lists:

The difference between ordered and unordered lists is as follows :

Ordered List Unordered list –
1. In an Ordered list, the order of the list item is important. If we change the order, the meaning of the whole list changes.

2. Ordered List starts with <OL> and ends with</OL> tag.

3. Ordered List has an <U> (list Item) tag which defines the list dements defined in the list.

4. In an Ordered List, the attribute used is TYPE which has values as 1, A, a, I, i.

5. Default value of TYPE ATTRIBUTE is 1.

 1. In an unordered list the order of the items is not significant. We can swap two items or reverse the whole list and it still remains the same list.

2. Unordered List starts with <UL> and aids with</UL> tag.

3. Unordered List has an <U> (List Item) tag which defines the list dements defined in the list.

4. In an Unordered List the attribute used is TYPE which has values as *, o, and SQUARE. ‘

5. Default value of TYPF. ATTRIBUTE is “Disc”.

PSEB 10th Class Computer Notes Chapter 2 HTML Fundamentals

Nested List:

When a list is given in another list. It is called a nested list. We can give as many as list in another lists.

HTML – Images:

Images are very important to beautify as well as to depict many complex concepts in simple way on your web page. This tutorial will take you through simple steps to use images in your web pages.

Insert Image

You can insert any image in your web page by using <img> tag. Following is the simple syntax to use this tag.
<imgsrc = “Image URL” … attributes-list/>
The <img> tag is an empty tag, which means that, it can contain only list of attributes and it has no closing tag.

Example
To try following example, let’s keep our HTML file test.htm and image file test.png in the same directory.
PSEB 10th Class Computer Notes Chapter 2 HTML Fundamentals Notes 6

Set Image Location

Usually we keep all the images in a separate directory. So let’s keep HTML file test.htm in our home directory and create a subdirectory images inside the home directory where we will keep our image test.png.

Set Image Width/Height

You can set image width and height based on your requirement using width and height attributes. You can specify width and height of the image in terms of either pixels or percentage of its actual size.

PSEB 10th Class Computer Notes Chapter 2 HTML Fundamentals

Set Image Border

By default, image will have a border around it, you can specify border thickness in terms of pixels using border attribute. A thickness of 0 means, no border around the picture.

Example
PSEB 10th Class Computer Notes Chapter 2 HTML Fundamentals Notes 7

Set Image Alignment

By default, image will align at the left side of the page, but you can use align attribute to set it in the center or right.

Example
PSEB 10th Class Computer Notes Chapter 2 HTML Fundamentals Notes 8

HTML-Tables:

The HTML tables allow web authors to arrange data like text, images, links, other tables, etc. into rows and columns of cells.
The HTML tables- are created using the <table> tag in which the <tr> tag is used to create table rows and <td> tag is used to create data cells. The elements under <td> are regular and left aligned by default.
Example
PSEB 10th Class Computer Notes Chapter 2 HTML Fundamentals Notes 9

PSEB 10th Class Computer Notes Chapter 2 HTML Fundamentals

Table Heading

Table heading can be defined using <th> tag. This tag will be put to replace <td> tag, which is used to represent actual data cell. Normally you will put your fop row as table heading as shown below, otherwise you can use <th> element in any row. Headings, which are defined in <th> tag are centered and bold by default.

Cellpadding and Cellspacing Attributes

There are two attributes called cellpadding and cellspacing which you will use to adjust the white space in your table cells. The cellspacing attribute defines space between table cells, while cellpadding represents the distance between cell borders and the content within a cell.

Colspan and Rowspan Attributes

You will use colspan attribute if you want to merge two or more columns into a single column. Similar way you will use rowspan if you want to merge two or more rows.

Difference between Colspan and Rowspan Attributes

The difference between colspan and rowspan is as follows:

Colspan Rowspan
1. Sometimes it makes sense for a cell to span multiple columns. This might be used for a header cell that titles a group of columns of entries.

2. Allows a single table cell to span the width of more than one cell or column.

3. ROWSPAN is attribute that is used in i.e. <th> and <td> tag.

4. It provides the same functionality as “merge cell” in spreadsheet programs like Excel.

5. Example: <th colspan=”3″>

 1. Sometimes it makes sense for a cell to span multiple rows. This might be used for a side-bar that groups rows of entries.

2. Allows “a single table cell to span the height of more than one row.

3. COLSPAN is attribute that is used in i.e. <th> and <td> tag.

4. It provides the same functionality as “merge cell” in spreadsheet programs like Excel.

5. Example: <th rowspan=”3″>

Tables Backgrounds

You can set table background using one of the following two ways –
1.  bgcolor attribute – You can set background color for whole table or just for one cell.
2. background attribute – You can set background image for whole table or just for one cell.
You can also set border color also using bordercolor attribute.

PSEB 10th Class Computer Notes Chapter 2 HTML Fundamentals

Table Height and Width

You can set a table width and height using width and height attributes. You can specify table width or height in terms of pixels or in terms of percentage of available screen area.

Table Caption

The caption tag will serve as a title or explanation for the table and it shows up at the top of the table. This tag is deprecated in newer version of HTML/ XHTML.

Table Header, Body and Footer:

Tables can be divided into three portions – a header, a body, and a foot. The head and foot are rather similar to headers and footers in a word-processed document that remain the same for every page, while the body is the main content holder of the table.
The three elements for separating the head, body, and foot of a table are –

  • <thead> – to create a separate table header.
  • <tbody> – to indicate the main body of the table.
  • <tfoot> – to create a separate table footer.

A table may contain several <tbody> elements to indicate different pages or groups of data. But it is notable that <thead> and <tfoot> tags should appear before <tbody>.

Programs run in a computer. A program is a group of step by step instructions. Group of these programs is called software. There are two types of software. First is application and second system software. Application software are used for specific tasks and system software is used to control the computer.

PSEB 10th Class Computer Notes Chapter 1 Office Tools

Software:

Computer can not do any work itself. It needs instructions to work. These instructions are written in computer readable languages. Group of these instructions is called a program. Group of programs is called software.

Types of Software:

Productivity of a computer is determined by the programs running in it. The assemblage of such programs is called software. Software can be divided into two categories as under:
1. System Software
2. Application Software
PSEB 10th Class Computer Notes Chapter 1 Office Tools Notes 1

System Software

All the functions of a computer are controlled by system software. If the system software is not installed in a computer, then Application Software can not function. This establishes transmission of information in a computer.

It controls and runs the application programs. The following figure depicts the relationship among Hardware, Software and User. The system software are further divided into many types e.g. operating system, language translator, utility program etc.

Application Software

The combination of application programs is called application software. The application software is used for special function. To run these softwares, your computer must have system software installed on it. But every computer has system software (like operating system) pre-installed in it.

The application software is only used as per requirement. Different users have different requirements. So every user uses different software according to one’s need.

PSEB 10th Class Computer Notes Chapter 1 Office Tools

PSEB 10th Class Computer Notes Chapter 4 Web Development

The main purpose of a website is to deliver specific information to a target audience. The success of the website is measured in terms of the number of visitors to the site and the ease with which the visitors find the required information.

The target audience of the website also plays an important role. It may be purely for entertainment, educational, health, tour and travels; accordingly appropriate; content has to gather and interface has to design. Before design the interface, it is essential to layout the information structure of the site.

PSEB 10th Class Computer Notes Chapter 4 Web Development

Planning Site:

Before designing a website, it is necessary to do proper planning as in the case of buildfng a house. If you startibuilding your house without giving a thought of planning, the house may end up into an uncomfortable dwelling. Same way, for building a good website certain things should be taken care of.
The following things should be considered while planning a website:

  • Purpose of website
  • Target audience
  • Website contents
  • Blue print of a website
  • Directory structure of the website
  • Budgeting

Purpose of Website

The initial stage of planning your website is to “Identity the Purpose of the Site”. It could be as follows:

  • To educate people
  • To entertain people
  • To promote / sell a product
  • To promote information on companies, products and sources, sports and games, travel and tourism, medicines and health.
  • Having specific purpose is a necessary since it provides you with the guidelines on what should be put onto your site; what resources (Software, Hardware, and Manpower) are needs for the project etc.

Designing for the Audience

The next step is to “Identify the Target Audience”, their knowledge , background, interests and needs, age, gender, geographic location etc. Determining, who the visitors are likely to be crucial in deciding not only the general appearance (look and feel) of the site, but also the technology that might be used to build the site.

If the website is likely to have visitors who access from home, it is necessary to designate the papers with the understanding that users will have probably slow modem connections. On the other hand, if visitors are expected to be fans of music, rock band, then high-end technology such as Macromedia Flash, Animation with sound effects may be acceptable.

PSEB 10th Class Computer Notes Chapter 4 Web Development

Strategy:

When the designer has decided to build a particular site, we will have to think about its work-strategy. The mode of works to carry out for achieving the goal is called work-strategy. Many kinds of information can be included in the website :
(a) Text information
(b) Audio or Voice information
(c) Video information.

Website Contents:

Once the Purpose and Target Audience of the website are defined properly, organize the website contents. Put together any existing documents and pictures you want to work. For example, if it is a company website, you may want to assemble logos, company information, and product descriptions. While doing website content information, the following steps to consider:

Who will write or provide the text (contents). Some very basic contents might be:

  • Who you are
  • What you do
  • How to contact you
  • List of services and products
  • Assemble photographs, logos
  • Updating of text and other content to keep site fresh and content correct

Web Implementation Guidelines:

Choosing Domain Name:

Domain Name is the web address of a website. It is placed in database of server.

Domain Name Registration:

A domain name is a way to identify and locate computers connected to the Internet. When using the internet, you use a domain name when you type a web address, or URL. A web address would look something like given below:

Domain names are registered for a variety of reasons. Some build a website right away, or buy a name to build a site later, while others purchase domain names in order to protect a company name or trademark, and some register a domain name so they can have personalized e-mail addresses. You get a domain name from a domain name registrar. Accredited Domain Registrars in India are:

PSEB 10th Class Computer Notes Chapter 4 Web Development

Choosing Web Server:

One of the keys to a successful online business is the web server. In order for a customer to see the products – or to see the page at all, for that matter – the server has to take the request for the web page and upload it from the disk where the file is. Therefore, if you don’t have the right server, nobody is ever going to see your page.

Organizing Web Page:

Organizing the website into specific sections and then providing links to those sections at the top of each page is an effective and simple way to make the website easy to navigate. The Webpage should be beautifully organized. So that it gives a balanced look. The size of the page is an important-point in organizing webpage.

Look:

Webpage should have a fine look so that one is attracted to read it. In a webpage with a good look designer should insert links graphics, animation, sound and video clips. The various contents in the webpage should give an impression of diversity and a beautiful view. Usage of proper font size/colour, background colour, table, graph etc. gives a good look to the site.

Validate the Code:

Validate the HTML, CSS, XHTML, JavaScript, and XML codes to ensure that the website has clean code and function as intended for visitors. There are several programs available online that validate each type of code.

Offline Testing:

After designing all the webpages it is tested on the browser. No internet con¬nection is required for this test that is why it is named as offline test. In offline test first of all home page is opened in different browser. Then we check all the linked pages one by one. Designer should ascertain it here that all pages have a good appearance.

The website should be thoroughly tested to confirm that the design and page structure are displayed as intended. Specifically, view the website with the most popular browsers, including Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer, Opera, and Safari, as those browsers are used by the majority of people who are browsing the Internet.

PSEB 10th Class Computer Notes Chapter 4 Web Development

Uploading the Site:

To make the site available to all the viewers on the internet is called Upload. To transfer. The webpages to the “Host” we need File Transfer Protocol (FTP) client. For this purpose first of all we set FTP programmer as Cute FTP. Then upload the file after coming online. The copy of the website on computer is called the local versibn, and the copy on the web host is called the production version.

Online Testing:

When the site is uploaded online, next step is to test it online. Make the internet connection, open the browser, and type URL of the site. Check that all the links of the site are working property.

SEO:

Utilize both Meta and ALT tags to ensure that the website not only appears in user searches but that pertinent keywords from the content of the website are dis¬played. Doing so will more likely attract searchers1’interests and will facilitate more visits to the website. ALT tags are merely a written description to go along with the pictures on the website, and so they are necessary’ to tell search engines and searchers what kind of pictures are there on the website.

Installing Website Analytics:

The statistics will enable to monitor the number of visits website receives, the amount of time visitors stay, the average number of page views for each visitor, and many other useful statistics. Making use of such software will enable to make adjustments to the website to increase its effectiveness.

Important Aspects of Website Publishing:

PSEB 10th Class Computer Notes Chapter 3 HTML II

A hyperlink is a reference to Webpage that the reader can directly follow either by clicking, tapping or hovering. A hyperlink points to a whole document or to a specific element within a document. The text that is linked is called anchor text. A software system that is used for viewing and creating hypertext is a hypertext system, and to create a hyperlink is to hyperlink. A user following hyperlinks is said to navigate or browse the hypertext.

A webpage can contain various links that take you directly to other pages and even specific parts of a-given page. These links are known as hyperlinks. Hyperlinks allow visitors to navigate between Web sites by clicking on words, phrases, and images. Thus you can create hyperlinks using text or images available on a webpage.

PSEB 10th Class Computer Notes Chapter 3 HTML II

Linking Documents (Anchor Tag)

A link is specified using HTML tag <a>. This tag is called anchor tag and anything between the opening <a> tag and the closing </a> tag becomes part of the link and a user can click that part to reach to the lirfked document. Following is the simple syntax to use <a> tag:
<a href = “Document URL” … attributes-list>Link Text</a>

Form:

Apart from common attributes, following is a list of the most frequently used form attributes:

Attribute Description
1. action Backend script ready to process your passed data
2. method Method to be used to upload data. The most frequently used are GET and POST methods.
3. target Specify the target window or frame where the result of the script will be displayed. It takes values like Jblank, _self, _parent etc.
4. enctype The method attribute of the form element tells the web browser how to send form data to a server. Specifying a value of GET means the browser will add the form contents to the end of the URL. This offers a number of advantages for simple forms. It allows the browser to cache the results of the form submission, and it also allows the user to bookmark the page once the form has been submitted. As such, GET is generally used for simple forms where security is not a concern.

GET Method:

GET results in the entire contents of the submission being visible in the URL. If your form contains sensitive data, you should specify a value of POST for the method attribute. Since GET appends the form data to the current URL, it can only be used where the contents of the submission (including the complete URL) will result in a string that is 2048 characters long, or less. This is the maximum length of a URL. GET can only be used to send ASCII data.
<form method=”POST”>

The method attribute of the form element tells the web browser how to send form data to a server. Specifying a value of POST means the browser will send the data to the web server to be processed. This is necessary when adding data to a database, or when submitting sensitive information, such,as passwords.

PSEB 10th Class Computer Notes Chapter 3 HTML II

POST Method:

When data is sent using POST, submitting the form twice will result in a duplicated entry. This can be a problem if the form is linked to a membership, purchase, or other one-time action. This is why users cannot bookmark the results of a form submission if the method is POST.

Preparing a Form
