WHY CREATE
WEBPAGES?
Quick
Reference
What is a webpage?
- A webpage is a file on the internet containing text and
multimedia elements, which can include pictures, sounds, movies,
and animations.
- Webpages can solicit user input (by using a FORM).
- Webpages do NOT have a limit on their size. They can fill one
screen or be 100 printed pages long.

The ability to deliver content that is:
- cross-platform (Macintosh, Windows, WebTV, LINUX, cell
phone, or other)
- browser-independent (Netscape, Microsoft Explorer,
Mosaic, Lynx, etc.)
- globally accessible (wherever an interenet connection
is available)
