True or False Questions:
In relation to Web site design, what is the purpose of tools and

To make Web site design easier.
Describe briefly why the Internet is transactional in nature, as opposed to
media such as magazines or television.
TV and magazines are passive in nature, thus an interruption occurs between receiving
information and acting upon it. The Internet requires action and participation at every
step – this constant decision-making (such as opening the browser, visiting a site, and
staying at a site or leaving) is a series of transactions. This transactional nature makes the
Internet interactive.
The Web site designer should design to provide users with a satisfying
experience when they visit the site. What is the primary goal of this
focus?
To give users what they want, not what designers think users want.
What is the key difference between Web design and print or television
design?
Interactivity.
Why is it important for Web designers to know XHTML?
So that Web designers can make the best use of available Web development tools.
