(Mendelson 101). In addition, a number of these programs also create and manage Web sites in addition to creating individual pages, and packages have been designed by manufacturers to support the capacity to build interconnected pages that use the same graphics and design elements on a number of different pages (Mendelson 101).

Applets and plug-ins can enable visual tricks and features beyond the capabilities of basic HTML, but we don’t recommend heavy use of proprietary extensions.(Mendelson 103)The structural components of the Web page itself are imperative to the dynamic structure, but the database that is utilized to either direct information regarding access and trends or to define the links between the information in the initial site and the pool of information that can be acc...
