I’ve never created a web page and I’m just learning ASP.NET now and all the examples I see are mostly with filling out forms etc. So I’m wondering if the lively, colorful, and snazzy web sites can be done with ASP.NET. I have also been playing with a trial of Expression Web. It seems to be for the “fancier” side of things. Are the two sides of the web mutually exclusive or can an ASP.NET page be just as colorful? Keep in mind I’m new to doing anything on the web.
Thanks for your help?
Yes, you can make an ASP.NET page look just like a static web page. The look and feel of a web page is done completely on the client side, using HTML, Javascript and CSS. ASP.NET lets you use all of these things, but it provides the ability to generate output to the page on the server side before sending it to the client’s browser. Once it gets to the browser, the HTML, Javascript and CSS will apply just as if the client was loading a static page.
