Disclaimer: the Department of Clairvoyance and Prestidigitation is completely fictitious and any resemblence to a real department at the University of New Hampshire is purely coincidental.


This example was developed for teaching the "How to Create a Web Page" course, taught several times in 1995 and 1996 in a lecture/demo format. It will not be taught live again, superseded by the hands-on Web Authoring series, but we retain this example and discussion as a useful example.

The elements in the page are representative of what many departments and organizations would put on their Web page, e.g., a title and graphic, a basic description, a list of staff with links to more staff information, and an e-mail address. The example is not intended as a model for design for the UNH campus, even though there is some effort to make it interesting and consistent in its own context. There is also the assumption of direct hand tagging, not the use of a special agent or wizard for Web development.

You can view the page and you can view an annotated listing of the page's HTML source, either in a separate window or in a sequential window. There is also an inverse version with more normal black text on white background.
