IDCC 370: Web Design I Fall 2009

Check this out: Web Site Directory Structure Tutorial

We will work through this tutorial carefully in class. The thumbnail image to the left links directly to the PowerPoint Web tutorial (for your convenience).

The information in this tutorial is vital. Understanding this and undertaking the suggested "best practices" will save you a lot of grief as we proceed through the course. Be sure to ask questions that may occur to you as you study the slides in this tutorial. I have some real horror stories to share with you from students who did not take directory structures and Web backup seriously enough.

You may want to print out the tutorial (Web Site Directory PDF). That way you'll have the slides and my discussion notes right in front of you . . . and you can make any additional notes you might need right on the printout.

You should also use the information in this tutorial to flesh out your discussion in exercise 1 on directory structure. I'll show you in class a quick and easy way to access a particular slide and its notes as well as a method on how to grab the slide URL, rather than laboriously typing it into your document.
