hey guys will be talking on how to build a website
note
this article is for the beginners. The very first thing to
consider is what kind of software you will use. I admit, my personal favorite is Microsoft
FrontPage. It is what is known as a WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) web site editor. It
enables webmasters to create websites without knowing any HTML. Those of you who write HTML code
like a second language will probably not care for it very much. The latest version, FrontPage 2003,
has great improvements from the older versions, like the split screen which allows you to see the
HTML code as you edit. Even if you don't write your own code, the more familiar you are with HTML,
the better off you will be. FrontPage 2003 also lets you do a find and replace over your entire
site. So if you made a mistake or want to change a link that is on all one thousand pages of your
site, all you have to do is find the code and do a mass replace. Microsoft offers a 30 day trial CD
if you would like to try it for free. Another cool web page editor, Macromedia's Dreamweaver, can be
downloaded and used on a trial basis at Macromedia.com.
If you are on a tight budget, which I can definitely understand, then go to Download.com and search
for WYSIWYG HTML. There are a lot of free trials for easy to use HTML editors. You have to look
really hard, but you may even find a couple that are completely free. Just skimming through the list
I found one for around $15. Of course, you definitely want to use the free trial before you buy any
of these to make sure you are comfortable using the software and that it does what you want it to
do.
HTML-Kit is a must for any aspiring webmaster. You can download a completely free copy at
Download.com. HTML-Kit is not WYSIWYG at all, but if you start working with more advanced options
like php, cgi, .htaccess, or any of the other many file extensions, you'll need this one eventually.
If you are looking to practice a little with a small website for free then try Bravenet.com. You can
get 1.5 GB of bandwidth and 50 MB disk space. This isn't very much compared to a host you pay for,
but it can help get you started if this is your first outing in web page development. If nothing
else it's great free practice for the real thing.
The next important thing to consider is the web host. There are a number of questions to ask
yourself in looking for a web host, like cost, bandwidth, disk space, type of scripts that are
allowed, etc.
