Keep the following in mind
- Organize your files correctly from the very beginning. Reorganizing later on will create a mess.
- Use all lowercase letters or numbers for folder names.
- Be sure to have two main folders: “final_web’ and “source_files”
- The html page should be named “index.html”
- Don’t save your html file as a .txt file or the browser won’t read it correctly.
- Your index.html and .css files should be in your final_web folder
- The folder for the images should be named “images,” and all of your images must be inside your “images” folder.
- The images folder must be in the “final web” folder.
- Be sure to include an external .css file, the CSS file should be linked in the header of your HTML.
<link href=”style.css” rel=”stylesheet” type=”text/css” /> - Remember to compress your images for the web. You images should be smaller in weight than 500k.
