Final Touches
Miss Dinnella
Overview
 During this class we have learned most of the
components to a good website:
 This lesson will go over the final touches to a
successful, well-though, interactive and creative
website
Splash Page
 Generally consists of a default home page that
displays the web site logo or some other web site
promotion
 Many splash pages use various types of interactive
media-from Flash moves to animated graphics-and are
good mood setters
Example : Puma
 Try to find your own Splash Page!
Frames
 An area that acts as an independent browser
window and acts independently of other
regions in the window; using frames a web site
is divided into multiple, scrollable regions, or
panes.
 Each frame contains its own source document
 Ex. You have four different HTML documents
displaying in a single window
Frames
 You can create a web page to display the common
links in one frame
 Display the target web page in another frame
 Display a navigation bar consisting of links in one
frame and displaying the corresponding web pages in
another
 Placing a number of images in one frame and
displaying the accompanying descriptions in another
 Placing a list of vocabulary words in one frame and
displaying their definitions in another
Static Frame
 Do not change; contents remained fixed, even as new
pages display in adjoining frames
Advantages of Frames
 Navigations-related graphics do not have to be
reloaded for every page in the web site
 Each frame can have its own scroll bar,
permitting the visitor to scroll the frames
independently
 Static content remains fixed
 Content and navigation can be separated from
each other in a clear way
Disadvantages of Frames
 Some browsers and Netscape in particular, do not
support the file:// protocol . The link to home or
index page in this project, therefore, will not work in
Netscape unless modified in the code
 Frames may be difficult to navigate for visitors with
disabilities
Publishing Your Website
 Before publishing your website on iWeb you have to
create a .mac account.
 Use File-Publish or Publish button
 iWeb translates your designs into HTML (Hypertext
Markup Language) also prepares your graphics and
then transfers everything to Apple’s servers, which
dish it out the world.
 Every time you make a change to your site you MUST
republish it
Continued…
 Normally a published site means everyone can see it.
 You can post a guard on your site (at the door); using
the Site inspector, you can specify a user name and
password that visitors must specify before they can see
your site.
 You can also publish your website to a folder on your
hard drive. You might take this path if you plan to
transfer your site to a different Internet provider or
burn your site to a CD or DVD
