Readings Overview

•
•
There are two types of GUI editors:
Page editors
Site management editors
Both are WYSIWYG programs.

GUI page editors allow you to create a Web page using your
mouse and a toolbar. Functionality is usually limited to
creating individual Web pages.
Readings Overview

GUI Web site management editors provide both Web page
creation and site management functionality. They allow teams
of designers and developers to work in an integrated
environment to design, build, and manage Web site and
Internet applications.

In addition to creating Web pages, team members can
manage the entire Web site with this type of application, both
during and after development. Site management includes task
automation and workflow integration with other programs in a
production environment.
Seminar Overview

This week’s Seminar session is about Lists and CSS. We will discuss
the various options and when it is appropriate to use CSS.
