Lesson #19

This lesson was our first lesson on web development fundamentals.

Every webpage consists of two components - the visible page and the code. Visible page is what is seen on the outside and the code is what is hidden on the inside.

We learnt about site architecture, which is how the site layout and links are going to be.


We learnt about the different kind of pages like the landing page, splash page, master page and content page.

A landing page is known as lead capture page or lander. It is a single webpage that appears in response to clicking on a search engine optimized search result or an online advertisement. The landing page will usually display directed sales copy that is a logical extension of the advertisement, search result or link. Landing pages are often linked to from social media, email campaigns or search engine marketing campaigns in order to enhance the effectiveness of the advertisements. The general goal of a landing page is to convert site visitors into sales leads.

A splash screen is an image that appears while a game or program is loading. It may also be used to describe an introduction page on a website.

The master page is a feature that enables you to define common structure and interface markup elements for your website including headers, footers, style definitions or navigation bars. The mster page can be shared by any of the pages in your website called the content page, and remoces the need to duplicate code for shared elements within your web.

A content page will contain only markup and controls inside content controls and it cannot have any top-level content of its own.

We learnt about content management system, web page size and developer's tools mainly HTML.

I never actually thought a webpage was categorized into so many different parts and that each page has a name. I understood more about webpages and the tools that people use to create webpages. It seems complicated to me though.
