Well if you don't have any experience you need to learn how to code first. This might be hard and it might take a while but you will learn. Go to http://yourhtmlsource.com This site will teach you the basics to building different parts of a web site. You can always try and get a design free and already pre coded and then you can learn from there but you will still need that web site listed above. You may get frustrated in the process but it gets easier the more you learn.

If you don't know HTML, the best way to design a website is with a WYSIWYG editor. WYSIWYG means "what you see is what you get." There are several available that are free. The list includes:
Blaze Composer Nvu (pronounced new-view) WebDwarf Matizha Sublime and many others. Personally, I would recommend Nvu and would advice against WebDwarf. |

The best basic HTML resource is found @ W3 Schools. They can help validate your tags and a over all great place for multiple types of coding and instructions.
For HTML this is the main link: http://www.w3schools.com/html/default.asp A great starter tutorial and introduction: http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_intro.asp And the basic tags you want to know: http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_primary.asp If you want a quick example, I just wrote this up.. HTML <html> <head> <title>HTML TRAP17 EXAMPLE</title> </head> <body bgcolor="navy"> <font color="white"> <h1 align="center">Trap17 Member HTML Example</h1> <br><br> <p>This is a HTML example. W3 schools is the best resource I know to find HTML examples. So things you can do with HTML are: <br> <ul type="circle"> <li>Make a form <li>Make a list <li>Share information.... <li>You get the point of a list </ul> </p> </body> <br><br><br> <left> <b><i>Copyright 2006 - Deadly Designs HTML Team</b></i> </left> </html> That had to help you in someway, just ask if you need something else. Also check out Joomla or a free template site to get a template pre-created where you just type in the information and stuff. |
