View Your Web Page
If everything is working properly, you can see your
Web page by typing your URL:
http://home.cc.umanitoba.ca/~yourid
e.g., http://home.cc.umanitoba.ca/~umsmit99
It may not look great to start with. “Play” with it to
make it look sharp. Pay attention to good graphic
design:
– “White space” (not too busy/animated, etc.)
– Consistency (limit the number of your page styles; try
to have only one page style)
– Logical relationships among elements
