    It would help if you gave a little bit more info.

    What kind of website is it (niche), what are you trying to achieve, will the site have members, will you be doing any e-commerce on the site? Do you have any idea whether you want a static HTML site or want to use a CMS - WordPress, Joomla etc?

    Having said all that, learning HTML & CSS is always a good start, regardless what platform you end up using.

    What does your script do?
    What language is it written in?
    What do you want your site to look like?
    Do you want to hand code or use an authoring tool?

    I think that ProjectsJunction is right. You may hire an experienced PHP or ASP.NET Designer for helping you out in getting a website with it's Home Page designed for you as you are new for it. Please also take online help from IT Forums like Yahoo Developer Network and so on also as you should not mess up with WordPress without proper guidance.

    For me, when editing scripts, if I am not sure what I'm doing, I make a copy of the code I am working on and save it in Notepad+, then edit the code as much as I want and try things out. If I ruin the whole site, I simply paste the code back in!
    I'm managed to make complex changes in languages I don't even understand like this, just by experimenting and trying to work out which parts of the code controls which aspects of the script.

    Personally i am a little puzzled by the question. How? why? and what? script have you designed without knowing even the basic elements of web design. I suggest you just look through the CMS systems and analyse which would be the best for your needs. I am assuming though by the level of knowledge you would probably be best in using wordpress. Taking into account that what ever script you wrote is probably either completly useless or a basic HTML page i would suggest you throw it away and learn how to use CMS as most plugins, components and templates will probably be better and have functionality than this script does.

    Install a good IDE with code assist. I recommend APTANA. start with the HTML Basics. Move on to CSS, then PHP & Javascript in that order.

    There is not one "holy grail" source for the information you are looking for. You will find that some sources are better for different things.

    Good Luck to you.

      You said: I have created a script and now the designing part is left. Sorry i take that as having written a script or at least the closest definition to the use of the word create. Needless to say a lack of understanding in what you meant, on my part. However, my point still sticks, learn how to use, one of the popular CMS out their and use the free extensions. After you know the basics of how CMS functions and the basics of design then turn to looking into programing and read up on it through books and by using the easiest method and analysing other scrips on other websites by using firebug.

        x2. You're going to need a platform for building a CMS.. php is probably your easiest bet.

    Here's my advise for you as a web developer. You have to know what path you would like to go into. If you don't have any idea, you just want to try it. Create css based websites, combination of html and css. Search on google for keyword "Best CSS websites" then you will have your idea. After you have the design built through html and css then add your script. This is the straight and easiest way.

    First question, which type of site is? and then generally, according to me, make template in photoshop, then cut it in html and then do coding part. otherwise do css on it.

    I would start with HTML as this is the lifeblood of the website.

    Next move to CSS, as this is how you can effectively style your website.

    Then move on to JavaScript & jQuery as this will allow you to add more interactivity to the site.

    That should get you started, check out:
