Presentation of Information on the Internet : Case Studies of Web Page Designing

Abstract

Web page designing has become a very expansive domain, with almost every establishment - commercial, educational, and social - hosting a Web page to highlight their goals, activities, and achievements. This paper will attempt to identify, to some extent, what are the kinds of hosts and Web pages available on the Internet, and detail out some of the broad features of three types of Web pages equating them to the three broad sources of information. These are the (1) human source (individual/personal Web page), (2) institutional source (institutional/organizational Web page), and (3) documentary source (electronic journal/article). A few tips for better or more appropriate page designing is given. The focus of this paper will be on case studying three types of Internet sources of academic information.
