Here are more revision notes for the Web Design Fundamentals unit. \u00a0Please see the revision notes on Design and HTML as well.<\/p>\n

W3C<\/h2>\n

The W3C is the\u00a0World Wide Web Consortium. \u00a0It sets standards for HTML and other key web technology. \u00a0This means that all browsers know that you want your text bold when you use <strong> and that everyone who uses HTML knows to use <a href=…> to add a web link.<\/p>\n

Copyright and Creative Commons<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Creative Commons<\/a> is a nonprofit organization that enables the sharing and use of creativity and knowledge through free legal tools.<\/p>\n

The free, easy-to-use\u00a0copyright licenses<\/a>\u00a0provide a simple, standardized way to give the public permission to share and use your creative work \u2014 on conditions of your choice. CC licenses let you easily change your copyright terms from the default of \u201call rights reserved\u201d to \u201csome rights reserved<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/object><\/p>\n


\n\"AttributionAttribution\u00a0<\/strong>means:
\nYou let others copy, distribute, display, and perform your copyrighted work – and derivative works based upon it – but only if they give you credit.<\/p>\n

\"NoncommercialNoncommercial<\/strong>\u00a0means:
\nYou let others copy, distribute, display, and perform your work – and derivative works based upon it – but for noncommercial purposes only.<\/p>\n

\"NoNo Derivative Works<\/strong>means:
\nYou let others copy, distribute, display, and perform only verbatim copies of your work, not derivative works based upon it.<\/p>\n

\"ShareShare Alike<\/strong>\u00a0means:
\nYou allow others to distribute derivative works only under a license identical to the license that governs your work.<\/p>\n

Definitions from Flickr CC<\/a><\/p>\n

If you can’t get permission to use an image you could always make your own image – take a photo or use a paint package or scan a drawing. \u00a0The same goes for sound effects and music – it’s great fun recording your own sound effects<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Intellectual Property<\/h2>\n

“Intellectual Property is work or invention that is the result of creativity, such as a manuscript or a design, to which one has rights and for which one may apply for a patent, copyright, trademark, etc”<\/p>\n

Definition from Google Dictionary<\/a><\/p>\n

You should make sure you always cite your sources. This is telling people where you have got text or images from so that they can go and find out more.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Accessibility<\/h2>\n

Some people with\u00a0visually imparements use screen readers to read aloud everything that is written on a web site. \u00a0It is important that you put ‘Alt’ tags (alternative text) on your images so that they can get a description of that is in the image.<\/p>\n

It is also useful if you put the most important content and links near the top of your web page so that they don’t have to listen to the rest of your page to find the link or information they need.<\/p>\n
