LECTURES
Week 4 _ HTML PRACTICE
This week, the instructor demonstrated webpage optimization techniques in class and guided us through hands-on practice to deepen our understanding and application skills.
1. Image Insertion & Optimization
- Use the <img> tag and include these attributes:
- src: image path
- alt: alternative text for accessibility
- title: hover tooltip
- Recommended to use relative width (width=xx%) to avoid layout issues on mobile devices.
2. Adding Backgrounds
- Add style attribute in the <body> tag:
- background-image: set background image
- background-size: adjust background size
- background-attachment: control how the background scrolls
3. Table Creation & Styling
- Use <table> to create a table
- <tr>: table row
- <td>: table cell
- <th>: table header, usually top row or first column, bolded by default
- Styling options:
- border: set table or cell borders
- cellspacing: space between cells
- cellpadding: space between content and cell border
- colspan: merge multiple columns
- rowspan: merge multiple rows
- style="background-color: #...": adjust table or cell background color

EXERCISES
WEBSITE REDISIGN PROPOSAL
For this assignment, we are required to select an existing website for
thorough analysis and develop a comprehensive redesign proposal. By
critically evaluating its current design and functionality, we aim to
propose solutions that enhance user experience, visual aesthetics, and
overall performance.
This assignment helps us improve our ability to analyze website design
issues and strengthens our practical skills in creating better web
experiences.

My Final Out Come
REFLECTIONS
Through this week’s classroom guidance and hands-on practice, I gained a deeper understanding of webpage optimization. I realized how details such as image optimization, responsive design, background settings, and table styling significantly impact user experience.
During the practical exercises, I learned to properly use <img> tag attributes (e.g., src, alt, title), apply background styles, and manipulate table tags and styles effectively, making webpages both attractive and functional.
Overall, this practice not only enhanced my web design skills but also made me aware of the importance of user experience, accessibility, and performance optimization, laying a solid foundation for future independent web projects.
