Web Page Creation
Application of Hyperlinks
A hyperlink is a cross-reference to another document. It consists of a point (the object where you insert the hyperlink) and a destination (the document or section displayed when the link is activated).
There are several ways to create hyperlinks:
- Internal Hyperlinks: Links to a specific part of the same document. To create these, you must first define the destination by setting an anchor or bookmark within the document.
- External Links: Links to other documents that are displayed, executed, or downloaded from the internet. These require specific attributes to define how the linked document is displayed.
Types of External Links
- Relative URLs: These refer to documents located in the same folder as your HTML file. If the file is located in a subfolder, you must specify the path relative to your current file.
- Absolute URLs: These refer to full internet addresses and must begin with the
http://orhttps://protocol.
Special Hyperlinks: You can also create links to email addresses. When clicked, these open the user's default email client with the recipient's address pre-filled.

- In the link properties, enter the relative path, absolute URL, or email address. Internal anchors will appear in the dropdown menu. For external links, specify the display destination.
Content Management Systems (CMS)
Content Management Systems are server-side applications used to create dynamic web pages. They allow you to manage site design independently of the content, meaning design changes do not affect the content and vice versa.
When managing a CMS, you define the site's appearance using PHP templates, either created by you or provided by user communities. Most CMS platforms are free and do not require advanced programming knowledge. A major advantage is the large volunteer community that develops new modules to expand the application's functionality.
