9.1 Webpage authoring

Webpages can be created in three different ways. HTML (hypertext markup language) editors allow you to enter the HTML code directly. Web-authoring software such as Adobe Dreamweaver builds the HTML code for you. Content management systems, such as WordPress, allow you to develop a website based on provided templates.

To introduce you to webpage creation, a fixed website will be created using Adobe Dreamweaver’s provided tools. If you wish to pursue webpage creation in more detail, the next step is to learn how to lay out pages using HTML commands and Cascading Style Sheets (CSS). These allow you to create sites that adjust to different devices and different screen sizes.
