Courses WEBPAGE

As we are proceeding to the end of the design phase of our project me,Anitha and Sayooj designed our web pages.We included certain extra features in it.This is just the design phase so we just created some static web pages based on our plan.The extra feature we tried to cover are
:The classrooms.That is which class rooms provide which courses and the timings of the courses.
The complete class schedule is available.When the class is packed and when it is free such that the other staff or students can arrange some extra classes in it in the free times.
:The courses available are provided in a specific and filtered manner such that new students entering the website can easily select or come to know about the courses that are available at each semester.
:We used the software Microsoft web publisher for creating the pages.
:This software is easy to use and is mostly user friendly.Reduces the burden of the user to do coding for simple things.
:There are lot of other softwares like this.
We can include images,logos, textboxes everything easily without writing specific coding for each and everything.
:As soon as we include something in our design the code is pre written there inside the html.
:This makes our work so easy and the webpage can be designed very easily.
:There are a couple of softwares which ae used for the same purpose such as Microsoft frontpage,dreamweaver and some other softwares.
:These softwares are used for just creatind the webpage.In the back end we have to use any language we need to implement the functions.The languages must be used in such a way that it minimizes the coding.
This is how we created the first phase of our project.

last time, John recommended us a tool named "Fireworks" to design web pages. However, it is a pity that tool is not free anyway. I am not familiar with the design of web page, thus, When designing some web page, I spent so much time on them. Using some tools can really save you time,release you from so many details of html language, and get good results.

I use Fireworks, like Wen mentioned, as a tool to quickly mock up the visual style. Fireworks is a graphics editor, not an HTML editor. I find it's easier to draw and position text and shapes with a graphics editor rather than starting out with HTML.

As far as editing HTML, my preference these days is to do it by hand. I find that using visual design programs like Dreamweaver or Frontpage end up causing more problems in the long run. When the program reaches the limits of what it can accomplish it is often a nightmare to have to manually fix the automatically generated HTML. Creating the HTML and CSS by hand takes longer to learn but it is definitely the way to more maintainable markup.
