Designing your first web site

Start With the Basics

Open your HTML editor. You'll first want to enter your site's title (what surfers see on the top line of their browsers). Right-click anywhere on the page and choose Page Properties to bring up its dialog box. Under Title, type the name of your Web site. (Don't worry about any of the other entries on the screen.)

Then select the Background tab and (if you desire) choose a background image, background and text colors, and the colors for various types of hyperlinks. (For our example, we used the default settings.)
