40 LESSON 2: Getting Your Tools in Order

Quiz Answers

1. A website is one or more web pages linked together in a meaningful way. A web
   server is the actual computer that stores the website (or, confusingly enough, the
   piece of software that responds to requests for pages from the browser). Web pages
   are the individual elements of the website, like a page is to a book.


2. A home page , in terms of web publishing, is the entry point to the rest of the pages
   in your website (the first or topmost page).


3. You should try to include a link to your home page on each of the pages in your
   website. That way, users can always find their way back home if they get lost.


4. A wireframe provides an overall outline of what the website will look like when
   it’s done. It helps organize your web pages in a way that works for you. It is most
   beneficial for a larger website.

Exercises

1. Come up with a list of several goals that your visitors might have for your web
   pages. The clearer your goals are, the better.


2. After you set your goals, visit sites on the Web that cover topics similar to those
   you want to cover in your own website. As you examine the sites, ask yourself
   whether they’re easy to navigate and have good content. Then make a list of what
   you like about the sites. How would you make your website better?
