Hey - That's a Good Idea

We all have thing to learn from one another. As we rotated around the room and viewed each other's preliminary Business Info web pages, you were asked to find one that had something neat you would like to add to your web page. List the following in a comment here.

• What is your web page about?
• Who's Web page did you find the most interesting or cool?
• What, from their page, do you want to know how to do?
• How will you incorporate it into your web page?
• Why was this little activity worthwhile (or wasn't it)?

Identify a Well-Designed Web Page

The web is, first and foremost, about content. But we cannot separate content from form. That is, the design of a page is as much a part of its content as the text and images on it. So, as we begin our exploration of web authoring, it's important for us to have a common language to discuss design.

The goal of this assignment is to use that common language to discuss the design of actual sites. But before we get to that, let's start with some intuition:

1. Find a page you think is well-designed. This can be any page you know and visit, or it can be a page you happen upon while surfing something like Cool Homepages (http://coolhomepages.com).
   
2. Comment to this Post and write a paragraph or two (or more) about the design. Essentially, answer the question "What makes this good?"
3. When you comment, use your first name and last initial only.
