I use open office, it has a HTML website building feature and it's free! Or use dream weaver, it's very advanced but easy to use, I don't have it at home because wine (windows emulator) doesn't run it and i doesn't run on Linux but we have it at school and its OK! In my opinion though, nothing beats a little bit of knowledge, notepad and if you need it Google.

Hey and welcome. I know your new here since you've been posting a lot of content that is either in the wrong forum or contribute little to what is already present at these forums. I just want to say that your only going to get credits deducted because they will have to be moved or deleted later by the moderators. Make sure you understand how this forum works if you are serious about getting hosting here and eventually a domain. So my advice is make sure you understand the rules by reading the read-me page for new members and refrain from posting just for the sake of gaining credits.

I agree with sonesay. However, for someone at your (apparent) level, Dreamweaver is a good start.

As said for a beginner a WYSIWYG (What you see is what you get) editor like dreamweaver is a good start. Google "FREE WYSIWYG Editor" and see what you can find, but also as said nothing beats coding a site from scratch so try learning HTML smile.gif

i can highly recommend www.htmlgoodies.com

I have learnt pretty much all i know from that site. It has an excellent tutorial and after a couple hours each day you will be a pro at html programming using just notepad within a week.

It really helps do sketch the layout of your site on paper and then divide it all into tables.

I have never properly used Dreamweaver but friends of mine have asked to fix code of theirs cause dreamweaver wouldn't always set up the tables like you want them..

But i agree, dreamweaver is a good simple program that does not require much know how of programming.

Maybe get dreamweaver and just follow the table tutorial on htmgoodies. Once you have fully understood how tables work you will be able to make any webpage layout look good. Look at this page, basically just lots of boxes all set up aligned with each other.
All of them are tables and it gets a bit tricky sometimes figuring out how to make them all fit how you have drawn in on paper but it's not too hard once you get the hang of it.

Well I agree with all above about dreamweaver, but one thing. Price. If your new to making a site, I would have to say to look around on the net for freeware, or even trial software such a coffeecup. This is what I did when I 1st started to learn the in and out of thing.

Good Luck and have fun.

For HTML I recommend Microsoft Front Page, It is my favorite HTML editor I think it is by far the easiest to use and gets the job done. I have used dreamweaver and its not to bad i think Front Page is much easier to use.

I assume that you just want to create a simple site and that you're not looking to become an html and CSS guru, so I'd recommend downloading a free program called NVU. You can download it from www.download.com.

Remember to create your page in a table. Otherwise, your page elements will move around on a visitors browser depending on their screen resolution and screen size. In other words, if you create your site on a computer with a 15 inch monitor and you write a 5 sentence paragraph on your site, and somebody views your site with a 20 inch monitor, your 5 sentence paragraph will now be a 1 or 2 sentence paragraph stretching across the screen! And if you're typing text around graphics or pictures, the formatting will be a mess. So use a table, and place each unique element in its own cell.

Technically, CSS with Divs, absolute positioning, is the simplest way to create a web page. I just think it's more difficult to code CSS if you've never used it. A table is easier. This assumes that you've used tables before, or Excel.

If you'd like to do it right, though, I think NVU will code in CSS, but remember to use Divs (dividers) with absolute positioning.

Don't get caught in the trap of needing tables for anything but tabular data, because it doesn't follow standards, and clients tend to want standards-compliance.

well dreamweaver cs4 is the newest one so u should try downloading that and make sure u try to learn html and css really good
after you learn these you should go around and start checking out websites and see how there are biult to get a hands on view of websites and maybe even get inpsired on how to make ur websites instead of using someone else'es idea. then go out and make your own website from scratch and use a heck of a lot of designing..it might take a while but it will be worth it in the end becasue u will have a pretty aweseom website:)

well if u want a average site with basic layout u can learn how to use php. just search in google how to use php includes

or if u want to have a nice layout i suggest learning html if u dont already and learn how to use div ids.
pages are also known as documents,you can learn more about this to:

You could alos look for the mayn open source software out there like Joomla that make creating websites easier as you do not have to start at level zero.

Dreamweaver is ver nice as it offers you a code thn design view but for someone who may not be too much into coding, you'd need a quick setup software like a cms.

Hope you find what you're looking for!

The best software according to me?
Well the only one that i have used is frontpage.IF you are a beginner then this is the best way to learn html programming. You can do changes in the WYSYWIG editor see the preview and then see the html codes. Well for professional website designing i don't prefer frontpage as it is too basic. Well notepad for me is okay for my level of programming. You should try publisher available is office or dreamweaver by macromedia
