In order to produce a website, we can use a simple text editor program to write HTML code for the content and to create interactivity on web pages. The code is written in a ‘ scripting language’, which is a programming language that controls the behaviour of an existing program, in this case any web browser that will display the website.
Interactivity means opportunities for someone using a website to interact with and change what is displayed.
A web authoring program allows user to generate code for a web page automatically. A web authoring programs often described as ‘web design’ software, although it is used for building a website rather than designing it.
Web authoring program is more similar to word processing program and DTP program.
Features of web authoring programs include:
Creation of sequence of content, with importing of text and the full range of multimedia files Templates to which web pages may be attached to place common content in certain regions, rather like a master page in a DTP application Facilities for creating tables, formatting text and graphics and editing text Visual transition effects for entry to, or exit from, a page Animation effects for absolutely positioned images or text boxes Previewing websites in the user`s web browser Uploading ( or ‘publishing’) of the finished website to a web server, use off which is usually rented from an ISP or ‘web hosting’ company
