Design notes:
The JPEG nav images use image mapped links rather than slice-based links. The top four buttons are all one JPEG slice, and the “foot” button is a seperate slice. This was done to minimize the size of the nav JPEGs. We sliced the foot image so that the background area to the right of the foot could be a seperate slice containing a transparent GIF, allowing the background image to show through. The nav graphics line up perfectly with the tiled background image, creating a seamless patch between the nav elements and the background image.

The subhead (How much can you learn) and teacher names were set in an aliased font designed for 20 point display, and saved as GIF files.

The HTML text under the teacher names was placed in nested tables sized to 90%. The cells in which the nested tables were placed had been assigned the HTML horizontal cell alignment of align="top". That alignment, plus the 90% table width, created the alignment we wanted with the teacher names.

The icons on the right side of the page are purely for decoration and to add some fun and some web icon symbology to the page. The icons were saved as one GIF file, weighing only 3K.
