26 Today in Lab! Build your own Website! http://www.sfu.ca/~bricker/

27 Principles of Basic Web Design When browsing websites, think like a cartographer, designer, ask yourself: what is the point of this website? Who is the audience? What will it be used for? What is the message I am trying to convey? Always have these questions in mind during each part of the process!

28 Examples Example Sites http://www.smashingapps.com/2014/02/28/40- original-html5-markup- websites.html Let’s Look under the hood In Chrome- right click  Inspect element  Emulation

31 About Text Editors Content Management System (CMS) What you see is what you get (WYSIWYG)

32 Type this in Sublime text editor and save as index.html Hello World I Love Geospatial Technologies! My Name is Britta Ricker. Contact me at bricker0 at uw.edu http://faculty.washington.edu/bricker0/

33 Test and save Locally What does local mean? Using windows explorer navigate to where you saved your.html file Double click your.html file It should open in an internet browser, the path should match the one you see in windows explorer Check your work this way, in your browser, before you post it online and make it “live.”

34 Filezilla Your computer vergil.u.washington.edu Enter in your NetID and password. For port, type in "22." Click on "Quick Connect." It may ask you for confirmation regarding the server. Accept the dialogue. Click on "public_html" on the right side of the window. This will open your public_html folder.
