« on: November 20, 2002, 17:46 »

To start with you need a program to make your page with,I use Namo Web Editor.There are some versions which come with templates so you dont have to think too much.
Once you have made your page you then need an FTP program to be able to upload your page to your webspace,I use Bluezone Ftp.
There are many different wed design and FTP programs available from various places and people have their own preferences as some have templates to choose from and some dont.
Hope this helps a little,get back to me if you need any more info  :-*

This is something I have been wanting to do, but can't think of anything interesting to put on a website!  However, any information here would be most useful, so keep it coming folks!   :)

The most widely-used application for designing your own site has to be MS Frontpage.  You should find the nasty, free version, Frontpage Express, either already lurking on your machine, or available for download from MS.

If you're planning any thing really ambitious, dig deep and get yourself a copy of Dreamweaver -- that's the one the grown-ups use.  Or if you're as cheap as I am, you could always learn HTML and write your code using Notepad.

Here's a website that's absolutely brilliant if you're learning to code by hand.  Wall-to-wall tutorials and tons of other handy stuff!

Hi Tigergal41!

Welcome to the forum!  We hope you enjoy your time here, and find it useful.

I'm no web creator myself, so I'm just saying Hi, but someone will be along to answer your question very soon, I'm sure.  I do know of a program called Dreamweaver, but it's damned expensive!!   :)

Hi tigergal41,

I see Simon's already rolled out the welcome wagon, but welcome anyway to our little forum. I hope you'll be happy here  :)

Dreamweaver is my personal favourite too. I currently have Dreamweaver MX on my PCs. I often find a use for Frontpage 2002 and sometimes, when the mood takes me, Notepad  ::)

As usual I think the guys have misread your post Tigergal  ;)
I think she is offering help to Dave not seeking it for herself  :-*
