Hi John,

There are lots of good sites out there. Here's a good one to get you started.

Hi Leron!

Thank you so much, it looks good so far.

Thanks

Your best resource is webmaster forum. Search on google :p
Don't start from scratch. Try to cut in. Learn CMS, learn Wordpress.

Google Trends: drupal, joomla, wordpress

Here's the one I started with.

There is a pretty wide spectrum of website options. Depending on how close you are to "square one", you might consider starting out with some of the "canned" sites like Squidoo or Hubpages. These will allow you to learn how to structure sections of your page and how to use basic-HTML to insert graphics and links. Next up from that are blog services like blogspot. These give you (maybe) a little more flexibility and don't have the branding that something like Squidoo has.

You might also want to get yourself a graphics editor and learn the basics of cropping and resizing images. For website display, you'll want to limit them to a resolution of 72dpi (this keeps the image files smaller and allows them to load quicker). After learning to manipulate your graphics, you'll want to learn how to store them either on your own server (which means you'll need a free FTP utility) or how to upload them to photo sites like Flickr or Photobucket.

The next wrung on the ladder would probably be something like Wordpress. These have the benefit of lots of great-looking preformatted templates that you can modify. You can probably get a tutorial for Wordpress and be up and running with it in a day.

Finally, creating your own sites. This will require you to learn how to purchase domains and set up hosting services where your web pages will reside. And of course, learning how to develop those pages as well.

Here's a page that has links to all sorts of free utilities for editing graphics, audio, and webpages: http://www.sixsecondsales.com/resour...-utilities.htm

Good luck with it. - Russ

Thank you everyone for good tips, I heard that Joomla could be something to begin with. I also heard about Trellian Web Editor.
Any comments of above?

Thanks

I will suggest you to find open source web site template.

You can get your site up faster if you are beginner. Create and build a website easily and with no programming by picking from a ready-made free web site template. Just enter your text and explore the code.

First you need html editor (free of course ) you can download Notepad ++

or you can free download WYSIWYG html editor like Nvu

These are not affiliate links, no cost, no hidden links!

After that go to Google search and just type keyword "free css templates" and you will find a lot of free web templates for download.

That is going to be useful to me as well. I just registered a domain name on wordpress for a blog, now I need to do stuff with it, and I have no idea what to do.

What did u use and what worked out for you?

Hi John
I think it is really, really important to know how to control your own website because it makes you independant and gives you the freedom to express your own style.

My recommendations :
Start with HTML, then go over to CSS. Once you complete those 2 tutorials, you will be able to create your own, basic website and be able to STYLE it yourself, which is SOOOO important!

Once you have those basic, fundamental skills, you can move on to more complex applications, ie Joomla or perhaps even a programming language, such as PHP (the backbone of Wordpress).

I am a new member so can't post links but here is a suggestion for a FABULOUS site that helped me so much when I started out. It teaches newcomers the absolute basics. The author even has a sense of humour and presents the tutorials in a very easy, appealing way.

Google-TIZAG Tutorials.

Hey John,

I've been designing websites off and on for 10 years now and here are some great resources that helped me when I first got going.

(sorry - looks like I can't post links yet, but google the following for some great resources)

Bignosebird

Yale Style Guide

HTML Goodies

Mako For CSS

My first ever site was done in MS Publisher (terrible, i know!) then i moved on to FrontPage and finally settled into Dreamweaver as my editor of choice. A lot of people will tell you you need to learn to hand code and use a text editor, but I say if you have tools available to shorten the learning curve and make your life easier - use them! In my case I learned the visual side of Dreamweaver first and then looked at the code to see what was happening and learned where to make certain edits I wanted to make myself.

Recently though, I've been using Wordpress almost exclusively for the sites I've developed as it's soooo easy to quickly get a website online and then I play around with the images and css to tweak it to my liking. There are hundreds of free professional looking templates out there, and excellent ones for purchase for under $100 each.

I've also used Joomla off and on throughout the years and while it's a great system with many more features than something like wordpress, but it also takes longer to get your head around how things work, and I couldn't even begin to tell you how to design or modify a template in Joomla.

My advice to anyone new just starting out would be to signup with a host that offers a number of easy to install apps like Wordpress - or find one that offers a built in WYSIWYG sitebuilder so you can easily create and edit your own sites.

If getting into the code is something you really want to learn then by all means go for it - but if you'd rather not get your hands that dirty - there are plenty of good options out there.

HTH some!
