Lesson details

Key learning points

  1. When making a website you need to think about who it is for (the audience) and why you are making it (the purpose).
  2. The design of a web page should demonstrate the layout of the page and an indication of what content will be.

Keywords

  • Audience - the group of people the website is designed for

  • Purpose - the reason why the website has been created

  • Layout - specifies how items such as text and images are arranged on the page

Common misconception

The header of a web page is the title.

The header is a section of the web page where the title is normally located but includes information that describes features of a web page but that is not actually part of the web page itself.
