Step 8: Adding Text

Goal: Add content and images neatly so your layout stays consistent.

What to do

  • Watch 30–60 seconds of the video.
  • Pause and build that exact part in Dreamweaver.
  • Save and preview in your browser.
  • Fix anything that looks wrong before moving on.

Tips & things to consider

  • Resize images before importing (huge images slow your site).
  • Always add alt text for accessibility.
  • Keep paragraphs short for readability.

Common mistakes

  • Forgetting to define your site in Dreamweaver (links/images break).
  • Using spaces or random names for files (hard to link later).
  • Working in Live View and getting confused when edits don’t behave as expected.

Check your work

  • My file names are clear and consistent.
  • My links work (no broken pages).
  • My media loads (images/videos/maps show correctly).
  • My page looks OK on a small screen.
