Writing

When writing for the digital media, the author is not just the writer, but also the publisher, the editor, the illustrator/graphic designer, and the marketer.

Layout

Layout is the visual aspect of web based writing. The site's design must include high-quality graphics. Personal web pages and sites must also include contact information that is accessible on each page. Not only does site layout include visual elements, it also involves the navigation used to travel through the website, the headers and footers used for scanability, and the references supplied by links and other relevant support.

Design
