Gather Information

Now that you've determined what kind of webpage you want to create, visit examples of other webpages which have the same content that you will be sharing. Ask yourself the following questions:

What kind of information are they presenting (homepage, informational article, etc.)?
How did they present the information (page layout)?
Does their webpage download quickly?
Can I navigate easily throughout their activity?
Does this site engage the visitor?
Is the content rich enough that I will want to return again?
Do all of the links work?
Have they included a contact resource person?
Does it tell when the page was last updated?
How could you improve this webpage?

Create a bookmark of resource sites that you want to incorporate into your webpage. Find sites that offer additional activities that will engage the visitor while using your webpage. Look for quizzes, puzzles, games, slide shows, and other additional resource links that you can add to your webpage.

Use your favorite search engine to find related information. Or you can find a hotlist of award winning resource sites to use as you begin collecting bookmarks by following any of the links listed below. Integrating these resources into your webpage will not only enrich it by allowing visitors to engage with your published project, but it may even lend credibility to the information in your published webpage.
