Web Page Design - Page Dimensions

As you read through the Page Dimensions page answer the following questions. Once you have finished show your answers to your instructor for teacher check.

1. What is a common mistake made when creating web pages?

2. What is the most common screen resolution for "most" monitors? What happens when your web page exceeds these limits?

3. Pages with a lot of text should always be designed so they can be ______________ easily. One solution to this is to provide two versions of the same document. Many sites will have a link to a second version of the same page.

4. List the two "safe area" dimensions for web pages. What makes these two sets of dimensions different?

5. What happens if you exceed the maximum height for a page?

6. Most web pages will exceed this "maximum" height limit but what do they make sure is found within this area of the page?

Ask your instructor to demonstrate how to change the resolution of your monitor if you do not know how. You should always view your web pages at different resolutions to see how it affects the appearance of your page.
