Planning, building and checking a website

A good website is planned before it is built and checked before it is published. Pages are joined by hyperlinks: text or pictures that take you somewhere else when clicked. Paper 1 asks what connects one website to another most years: the hyperlink. You don’t need to write HTML for CSEC.

By the end of this page you can

  • Plan a small website: purpose, audience, pages, content, layout
  • Build pages with text, pictures and a home page
  • Insert the four kinds of hyperlink
  • Check a website before publishing it

Goals tick themselves off as you try the activities below.

Sketch the pages and agree what goes on each before anyone opens the web editor.
