1.
Name your navigation buttons for each page
|
Think
of each webpage as a chapter in your "electronic book." |
| |
|
Each chapter
must have a title.
That title will appear on your navigation bar, much as chapter titles
appear in the Table of Contents of a book. |
Keep
your titles short and try to include an action verb.
For
example, instead of "Store," you could try "Shop for
Bargains." |
| |
|
| By naming
your buttons, you have a framework for organizing text. |
1.Navigation
button form (Ten
spaces are provided, but you don't need to have ten buttons.) |
2.
List the topics to be covered on each page
|
Once
you have decided on your "chapter titles" you can begin to list what
topics will be included in that chapter (or webpage). |
| Don't go into great
detail. For example, on your "Shop for Bargains" page, you might cover:
1. This week's hot specials 2. How to order |
2.Topics
form (Ten spaces are provided, but you don't need to have ten
topics.) |
3.Organize
your images
|
Will
you have images (otherwise known as photos, graphics, charts, logos,
and ads)? |
| Images affect
how much text you can fit on a page. |
Make a list for
each webpage of any images you expect to use. 3.Images
form |
4.
Don't forget other media
|
Will
you be featuring any video, slide shows, audio, or streaming media
clips? |
| These require
space on the webpage, too. |
Make a list of
any other types of media you will use. 4.Other
media form |
|
| |
On the left are four steps for taking inventory.
Each step has a corresponding inventory form.
Go to File>Print. Copy as many forms as you
need. Use the back button -- the arrow pointing left on the browser
toolbar -- to return here.
