Beyond FrontPage

        

            During the fourth quarter, I learned how to create web pages using Microsoft FrontPage, a tool that follows the "What You See Is What You Get" (WYSIWYG) approach. This made web design easier because I could see the final appearance of the page while editing. I discovered how to insert images, format text, and create hyperlinks without needing to write complex HTML code. These skills helped me understand the basics of web development and how websites are structured.  

         However, I encountered some challenges while using FrontPage. One of the main issues was formatting inconsistencies when switching between design and code views. Sometimes, the layout did not appear as expected when viewed in a browser. Additionally, I struggled with aligning elements properly and ensuring that my web page looked professional. These difficulties made me realize that web development requires patience and attention to detail.  

        To overcome these challenges, I took the time to explore different tools and settings within FrontPage. I practiced using tables and grids to organize content neatly. When I faced issues, I searched for tutorials and asked for help from my teacher and classmates. By experimenting with different techniques and learning from my mistakes, I improved my web design skills and became more confident in using the software.  

            Moving forward, I will continue to enhance my web development knowledge by exploring other website-building tools and learning basic HTML and CSS. I plan to practice creating more web pages and experimenting with different layouts to improve my design skills. By doing so, I hope to create more professional and visually appealing websites in the future.
