How to create your own web page, such as www.baidu.com?

First, the choice of web design software

First of all, you should choose the right tools and software to design the home page. At present, the popular web page making software is FrontPage and DreamWave. They have their own advantages and disadvantages. FrontPage is a web editing software produced by Microsoft, and it is also a part of Office series software. The latest Chinese version of FrontPage2000 can be found in the software package of Office2000. If you have a certain Office foundation, people who can use Word can easily learn to use FrontPage. One of its greatest advantages is that it is easy to learn and use. In addition, the webpage made by FrontPage has a particularly good effect in IE browser. However, if you want web pages to perform well in Netscape or other browsers, then using FrontPage is a bit troublesome. It's not that you can't, but it's easy to make mistakes. DreamWave is much better in this respect, after all, it is a third-party software. DreamWave is a web page making software produced by MacroMedia. The latest version is 3.0, which is also very powerful. But it is difficult to learn, and some advanced functions of IE browser cannot be realized. Each has his own strengths, and only he has to weigh them. In addition, don't use two editing software alternately, otherwise there will be confusion.

Second, the choice of network service providers.

Now there are many websites that provide free homepage space, and of course there are fees. What should I choose? Never think that "unlimited homepage space" is the best. There are many exquisite things here. First of all, it is necessary to clarify what operating system server the service provider provides. If you use FrontPage to write your home page, you'd better choose Windows NT server, preferably. In addition, Linux and Unix servers are also common. If you use these servers, you should pay attention to one problem, that is, the case of the file name must be clear. Ordinary Windows users will think that this is not a problem, because Microsoft's habit is that file names are case-insensitive. But this is not the case with Linux and Unix. For example, if you upload a picture of top.jpg, and then write it as top.JPG in the HTML hyperlink, the extension will be capitalized. It is normal to see this HTML file locally, and the picture is displayed correctly. But when you upload it to the server, you will find that the file cannot be displayed at all. The easiest way to solve this problem is to use lowercase English letters for all file names and extensions instead of long file names. Of course, if it is a Windows NT server, you don't have to worry about this problem.

If you just make a simple homepage, you just need to get the corresponding homepage space. However, if you do something advanced to the home page, it will involve the execution of some network programs, requiring CGI permissions and even database permissions. These functions are not provided free of charge in general network servers, and the fees are often not low. There is absolutely no need to demand these things from the general personal homepage, otherwise the maintenance cost will be high unless you really want to make a good website. Another problem with free homepage space is that the service provider has the right to close the service at any time, because it does not undertake any promises, so your achievements may be wasted, so find some reliable homepage space, preferably providing services for a long time and having a certain reputation.

In addition, different service providers use different network servers and lines, and the update speed of access is also very different. Choose a home page space with faster line speed, otherwise it will greatly affect the interest of visitors. It is best to use a local network server, because cross-regional network lines are often crowded.

Also, what kind of homepage maintenance method Internet service providers provide is also very important. It is most convenient to provide HTTP maintenance for FrontPage extensions. Can be fully automatic maintenance. If it is a traditional FTP method, it is not bad. FrontPage2000 can also be uploaded automatically through FTP, and many FTP management software can also be used. But there is also home page maintenance based on web, which can only be edited and maintained in a specific way on the website of service providers. It's inconvenient, so it's better not to use it.

Three. Selection of home page content

To evaluate the quality of a home page, it is not the appearance, but the content. It is very important to choose the right content, preferably the content you are interested in, otherwise there will be no enthusiasm for long-term maintenance. In addition, don't do too many questions, and attacking from all sides without focus is often unattractive. Many famous personal homepages are very popular because of an excellent column, and Bird Hardware is a good example. Maintaining the home page is very important, and it is necessary to constantly upload new content to enrich and update the website. However, you should also be careful not to copy other people's content casually. If the other party's content can be reproduced, that's fine, but if it is copyrighted, there may be disputes and even forced closure of the personal homepage. Intellectual property rights still need to be respected, so it is best to ask for the consent of the other party when transferring the content of other websites.

Also, there must be no illegal content on the homepage, especially no pornographic content.

Fourth, the skills of making home pages.

Web page making is a comprehensive technology and an art, which includes planning, art design and so on. The following are just some issues that need attention. Many commercial websites have "advertising banners". Clicking on advertisements can make money for websites, and even Internet companies like Yahoo mainly rely on the income from these advertisements. However, generally speaking, it is best not to put advertising strips in the early stage of construction, especially not to put a lot. Advertising can't make money when the traffic is not very large. On the contrary, it will make visitors feel that the home page is messy and full of boring advertisements, giving a bad impression.

There are also some personal homepages that lose face because of low traffic, so they modify the webpage counter to increase traffic. This is actually self-deception, and others will not believe your homepage traffic in the future. A good homepage will always attract more and more visitors. What's the use of fooling around without a good home page?

Also, if it is free homepage space, it will not be too fast and there is not much space. It is best not to provide too many software downloads, which will seriously affect the access speed. In the end, it is not worth the loss. Generally, a good software download website will provide an independent FTP line download software, which can ensure that the access speed of the website will not be affected. Similarly, don't use pictures with large resolution on the home page. Generally, a picture should be controlled below 20KB. Don't use too many Java applets and too complicated Java scripts for your personal homepage. These are just decorations. If you use it too much, the speed of browsing the web will become slow.

Pay special attention to the language version when making the home page, especially Chinese. If the selected internal code or font is wrong, there will be problems such as garbled code or font distortion when accessing.

V domain names and intangible assets

Every personal homepage has its own domain name, just as people always have names. Naming also has a lot of attention. Many people will imitate the names of famous websites and change the letters in others' spelling. Actually, this is not good. Without your own personality, it is not easy to leave a deep impression on people. Let's choose a good name for ourselves. In addition, we often see people writing things like "xxx.yeah.net, a permanent domain name". In fact, these are all second-level domain names, which are provided by some network companies for free. These are not permanent domain names, because the company can stop service at any time. It is best to have your own international top-level domain name, which will always be yours. In fact, this is not very expensive, but it is the fundamental guarantee for the long-term development of the homepage. Of course, if you don't think it's necessary, it's good to use a free second-level domain name.
