Samfilo31: just want a website of ma own so pls wit ur idea and advice lead de way

creating a website is simple,there are many web design tutorials here on nairaland just search for them,and u are on the go...

Basics: Learn HTML, CSS and Javascript. Then look up 'web host' and 'domain name' and understand what they are, and what they will do for your website.

I recommend you play around in wapka.mobi for a while, it'll help you build your HTML skill.

Then you can either learn a programming language OR you can simply install an open source software depending on your needs. You even still need HTML and CSS knowledge to be able to handle and cope with an open source script.

It may all sound fiddly, but that about the simplest I can do.
Good luck.

Just start from somewhere. There's really no specific place to start. All programmers / webmasters didn't start from one specific language, it all depends on what's convenient for you or the kind of website you're trying to build. But if you ask me for a recommendation, I'd say:

W3schools.com will come in handy, use it to learn HTML first. You also need somewhere to practice WHILE you're learning (and by practice I mean writing a full page with html from header to footer). It would not be wise to just learn from beginning to end with little or no practice. For example, a road side mechanic will fix a car faster than a student with a degree in mechanical engineering would, that's a fact you know why? because they have been doing it all their lives. Practice makes perfect. So get your self a wapsite from wapka.mobi to start with.

In any case, if you need help on anything specific while you're learning, I have a thread on my forum where I answer questions from people trying to build websites => http://jalingo.co/webmasters/building-a-website-i-can-help/

Good luck
