Animated Pentagon HTML Anchor Tag: <A> and </A>
The Anchor tag is used for defining hypertext links and can incorporate a range of attibutes, of which only the NAME or HREF attribute is mandatory. The main attributes are listed below.

HREF: The HREF attribute indicates either the URL of the destination page or another anchor in the same document. If the HREF attribute is present the text between the opening and closing elements is designated as a hyperlink, which when "clicked" by the user, will invoke the web page defined by the URL or will go to the appropriate document anchor.
For example:

<A HREF="http://www.netscape.com"> Click Here </A> for Netscape's home page, provides a hyperlink to Netscape's home page, and
<A HREF="#Top_of_page"> Click Here </A> to return to top of page, refers to another named anchor in the same document, which is specified by the NAME attribute as follows:

<A NAME="Top_of_page"> This text is at the top of the page.</A>

TITLE: When used with the HREF attribute, indicates the title of the destination URL.

METHODS: The METHODS attribute provides a list of HTTP methods supported by the object and is little used.

HTML Address Tag: <ADDRESS> and </ADDRESS>
The address element specifies information about the author of the page, such as his or her name and Email address.

For example:

<ADDRESS>

WIDTH: The initial width of the display for the applet.

HEIGHT: The initial height of the display for the applet.

The <APPLET> tag may be used in conjunction with the <PARAM> tag to pass parameters to the applet. The following is a typical example of the use of the tag:

<BR CLEAR=all>

 

E-Commerce

Recent developments in search engine optimisation techniques allow some e-commerce websites to be indexed.

Design

While the Internet continues to evolve into the world's favourite marketing medium, in order for your business to expand at a similar rate, it is prudent to let professionals develop a website that targets your specific user market.

Optimisation

When there is a website out there concerned with every subject matter you could think of, it's unlikely that yours will be unique enough to stand out in the crowd under its own steam, so if you don't want your business to be swept away in an ocean of competition, SEO is the lifeline of your successful future.

Copywriting

When the search engine 'spiders' index your website they can only read its text content, so if you include optimised copywriting throughout, your chances of enjoying high rankings will be greatly improved.
