Most websites display the URL of a web page above the pagein an address bar, for example www.google.com/indexDomain nameIs the name given to a website, for example the domain name of www.google.com is "google".This is registered throught a domain nanme registrar.Domain name registrarThis is how users buy a domain name; these are sold and managed by domain name registers. Adomain name is unique name that identifies an internet source such as a website, for examplefacebook for www.facebook.comISP'SThis is the company that provides you with the acces to the internet, for example; BT, Virging,PlusNet, Talk-Talkweb page naming conventionswebsites are made of lots of pages, all using the same URL. It is important that each website hasa suitable name that reflects the content of that page. (/index.htm, /contact.htm, /about.htm).Design conventions

2. There are so many design conventions. Design conventions of a website are the colours,shapres, the layout, font style used.Rule of thirdsThe rule of thirds is one of the most important design principles. It is a rule that is applied to thelayout and composition of images and websites. Websites and images can be divided into thirds;three vertical lines and three horizontal lines. Where the lines cross are the points of focus. Theeye is naturally drawn to those positions; a website that uses the rule of thirds is universallyseen as visually appealing and keeps the design of the page neat. The rule of thirds has fourfocus points that the eye is attracted to, the girl in the picture is on two of the points and takesup a third of the picture.Colour schemesThere are three main colour schemes that a website can be designed with. Picking the rightcolour schemes for your website is very important in setting the tone and feel of the website.Colour schemes nearly always reflect the nature of the website.Monochromatic(one-colour)-This means that is a website is monochromatic it uses only one colour, but it canuse all the tints, tones and shades of that colour, a website that uses monochromatic colourscheme is; www.hag.ch/de/ 3. AnalogousAnalogous colour scheme is one which uses similar colours. Analogous colours are located nextto each other on the colour wheel. A website that uses analogous colour scheme is bigtop.itComplimentarycomplimentary colours are ones which are opposite, but visually work very well together. Theyare always found opposite each ither on the colour wheel. A website that uses complimentarycolour shceme is www.naturestable.comSerif and Sans SerifWhen designing text to be used on a website, one important design decision is the use of thefont. There are two kinds of fonts: serif and sans serif. serif fonts have the flicks at the end of theletters. 4. sans serif fonts do not have this flick. In print, publishing and website design sans serif fonts areused because they are clearer to see.SoftwareA computer software directs instructions to a computer processor ro perform operations.A text editor is a type of program used for editing plain text files.Pros simple edits are quite fast text editors teach you how to read HTML include comments and other notes to allow more efficient editing by other members ofthe group.Cons Difficult for a biginner to use harder to visualize how the page will look only from the HTMLVisual editors are editting programs which display the text being edited on the screen as it isbeing edited.
