I use Adobe/Macromedia Dreamweaver 8. It does static and Dynamic web pages. You can download a free trial version from their web site and they have tutorials on line to help you learn the program.\n\nAlso w3schools have good tutorials on html php sql mysql and heaps else.

If you are a true novice and don't want to spend much time learning how to make a site, I would suggest the current super-popular MySpace. You can quickly get your information up for all your friends to see.\n\nIf you are interested in something more, but still fairly simple try GeoCities or Yahoo.\n\nIf you are willing to learn HTML I would suggest ATSPACE.COM. You can create a website for FREE up to 50MBs in size and NO ADS. I have two websites through them and the uptime is great. You'll need an ftp program to upload your stuff. There's a good free one for personal use called "FTP Explorer". Of course you'll either need to learn HTML or use one of the WYSIWYG programs like FrontPage or DreamWeaver to actually design your site. e-mail me if you need some help...\n\nIf you want your own domain and have it hosted, I suggest ReadyHosting. You get 1GB of space unlimted e-mail accounts, FTP access and domain name registration all for $99 a year.\n\nWeb hosting site (FREE):\nhttp://www.atspace.com\nWeb hosting site (COST):\nhttp://www.readyhosting.com\nFTP Explorer site:\nhttp://www.ftpx.com\n\nA couple of my websites:\nPioneer Baseball Website (ReadyHosting - Cost)\nhttp://www.pioneerbaseball.org\nMy Son's Travel Team's Website (ATSpace.com - FREE)\nhttp://tricountytitans.atspace\nFamily Website (ATSpace.com - FREE)\nhttp://tim8w.atspace.com

In HTML the best for me is Dreamweaver.

I might just check out Frontpage Inside Out, by Jim Buyens, from the library. It's very detailed (it might go over your head if you're new to the Frontpage world). This book includes an ebook version of the book on the disc. \n\nAlso, I've tried MS FrontPage 2003 before, and Macromedia Dreamweaver 8 is infinetely better. You can download a thiry day free trial from the Macromedia site.

if you want a basic no frills website try \n\ngeocities.yahoo.com\nor \ntripod.lycos.com\n\nand use the WYSISYG (what you see is what you get) site builders.\n\nIf you'd like something a little fancier find web space with ftp access.  Build your a site with a package web editor such as MS Frontpage or the open source NVu (www.nvu.org) and use their built in publishing engines or use a ftp prog like FTP Commander (www.internet-soft.com).\n\nAnything much beyond this is going to require a little HTML expertise, but these are good places to begin.

Get a business plan first. Then, learn to use open source software like OScommerce - loads of tutorial around, finally, grab a cheap hosting. Again loads of them around, most giving tools like cpanel to create your website and installing OScommerce fairly easily. Estimated cost per year $200, estimate time taken 100 hours. Payment is another part though. You will have to choose between many payment gateways like Paypal which cahrge a flat rate and take a percentage of your money

I guess a lot would depend on just what sort of site you wanted - whether it was a business site or just a couple of personal pages.\n\nA good place to start is to get a free site and experiment a little.  Try Yahoo Geocities http://geocities.yahoo.com/ or Lycos Tripod http://www.tripod.lycos.co.uk both of which are free.\n\nGeocities also comes with PageBuilder and SiteBuilder which are programs you can use to create your website.  They're quite basic but will give you a flavor of what's involved.\n\nIf you want to progress further then you'll need your own domain and hosting package which needn't cost any more than a few dollars a month.  At this point you'd want to look at something a bit more advanced for creating your pages and Microsoft Front Page is the industry standard.\n\nIt's hard to be specific as the questions is rather like saying 'procedure for writing a book' but start off with a free site and learn a few tricks from that.  You'll pick up lots of stuff as you go along.  Good luck.

Go to www.struif.com and try Site Builder, for a free trial website that you set up and design by yourself - It's fast (10 minutes) and cheap (if you decide to keep it it's only $249 (payable in 2 installments) plus monthly hosting. Very user friendly for nearly any business or personal website. Plus it has the best shopping carts I've seen for ecommerce.

The best site out there for helping you design and operate a website to professional standards is the Sitepoint website. You can find it at:\n\nhttp://www.sitepoint.com\n\nI've followed the site since before it was Sitepoint (was webmaster journal or resources or some such back in the 90's) and it's hands down the best. Many professionals and really smart entrepreneurs and techies hang out in the forums and the entire community is very helpful. They even have a forum where you can request other members to look over your site and offer their opinions which is great to help you stay on track. The articles range from basics to very technical, but all are well written and if you're the least bit computer-savvy, most will walk even beginners through some fairly complicated steps with ease.\n\nIf I had only website that I could visit to use as a resource for web design, web development, coding, eBusiness and eMarketing...this would be it. The guys who operate it started their own press and they've put out many great books over the years. I say this as someone who majored in eBusiness, worked as a PC tech, has a military background in technical intelligence and communications, authored an IT column, and has been building sites and consulting off and on for over 8 years.\n\nIf what you really meant by your question was "How can I have a cool Flash website?" then I would suggest you hit your favorite search engine and look for "Flash designers, Flash design" and see what services they offer. If you're into do it yourself, I'd suggest enrolling at a local college and taking a Flash course to get you rolling in the right direction--but only if you're a bit artsy and patient and willing to read up on good web design and accessibility standards and practices on your own. Otherwise, Flash designers are everywhere, which means it's a buyers market (i.e., you can hire one without going into the poorhouse for 20 years). \n\nGood luck with your endeavors.

We used EZLAVA to create our web site.  A friend referred us to EZLAVA, saying it was what they used and they loved it.  So we tried it and agree, it's awesome.  \n\nWith the program, you don't have to know HTML, PHP, ASP, or JavaScript.  It does all that for you via a central admin that appears when you click on an object (images, text, forms, etc.) to make changes.\n\nWe started on a blank edit page (studio area), and uploaded our own graphics into the database.  Using the program, we set up one main web page template using our graphics. We were able to drop all of our graphics onto the page at once.  Then we set up our links and saved the page as a "custom template".  EZLAVA calls them custom templates.  They are pages or content layouts that can be added to multiple pages over and over.  It saved us a bunch of time. By creating one web page with all your page links and graphics, you can apply that layout to any web page you need.  And those templates can be locked.  So when you make a change to the template, it makes those changes site wide.\n\nIt also has a dynamic shopping cart builder, form builder, html text editor, and every other feature you'd need.  We use it in tandem with Photoshop to do all of our web stuff.  But they do have web site designs already within the system.  So if someone wanted to use them, they're free.  They also have tons of clipart photos and graphics for use on your web pages.\n\nOverall, it's really easy to use.  We found the EZLAVA software definitely worth it!

Microsoft Visual Web Developer Express.\n\nGet it at www.asp.net \n\nASP.NET is the ONLY way to go now-a-days for developement, IMHO. Of course... the PHP/OpenSource/Linux guys will disagree... but then, their stuck back in the 70s lol. (j/k guys - well, not really... unless you work for me LOL).\n\nDave, Tulsa OK
