Web page production is the process of turning a site concept, whether a sketch or a complete Photoshop image, into a finished web page template.
It incorporates several skill areas including graphics preparation, HTML, Cascading Style Sheets, JavaScript, accessibility, and SEO (search engine optimisation).
Chopping a page design up and making it into a living, breathing HTML page involves hundreds of decisions. What you choose to do will depend on your knowledge, experience, tools, and time.
Making smart decisions during in this process can deliver huge benefits in lots of areas, including time spent building your pages, ease of updating, and cross-browser compatibility.
The purpose of this section of the site is to increase your knowledge to help you work faster and more successfully, making better decisions along the way.
A lot of page production depends on your experience of learning how various browsers work differently. I can’t cover all those possibilities in this section, but I can help you gain good production disciplines and help you get a solid set of basic skills.
Before getting stuck into production, you need to know the basics of HTML and CSS.
A big book, which you can use as a good basic introduction to HTML and CSS, and later as a reference.
Definitely a recommended starting point if you prefer to work from a book.
