Namo WebEditor 5.5 Beginner’s Guide | 5


Planning a Homepage
To create a homepage, first you need to plan the content, structure and scale of the homepage. If you
want to create a personal homepage, it is suggested to classify the content by subject matters before
taking the steps for documentation.
Example of the subject matters for a personal homepage:

● Profile: Personal profile with a photograph


● Music: List of favorite songs
● Movie: List of favorite movies
● Links: List of frequently visited Web sites
● Album: Personal photographs

After classifying documents by the subject matters and deciding the title of each page, you should then,
decide the order of those pages. The order of each page becomes the navigation structure for your
homepage. For example, you can design the navigation structure of the homepage by showing your
profile on the first page and showing the other pages in one-step lower hierarchy. Below is a sample
navigation structure.
Example of a sample navigation structure:

Crystal’s
Inner Space

Profile Music Movie Album Links

● Starts with an Index page introducing the homepage.

● Puts the five content pages in the order of <Profile, Music, Movie, Album and Links>.

Defining filenames is recommended for easy management of a homepage. A homepage is composed of


the HTML files with the file extensions like *.html, *.htm.
Example of personal homepage filenames:
● Crystal’s Inner Space: index.html
● Profile: profile.html
● Music: music.html
● Movie: movie.html
● Album: album.html
● Links: links.html

You can now install Namo WebEditor 5.5 and start creating a homepage.
