The design is great, a little more work on the content would be great. Also the ads can really turn somebody blind :)

Sure First you need a host so Try Geocities

The first thing you need is a host. A host is the person that will hold your website for you, and put it online so that others can view it.\n\nIf this is your first website, there are some easy, free hosts out there. Geocities (geocities.yahoo.com) offers a free website if you don't mind some ads on it. Others include Freeservers.com or www.thefreesite.com\n\n-------------------\n\nNext, you need some way of making your website. Usually this involves HTML, but if you don't know any then find a WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) editor. That is, an editor that will allow you to edit colors and type and see exactly how the website will look. Geocities includes this on their site, so I'd recommend you start with them.\n\nIf you're interested in really making a good website, I would recommend trying to learn HTML. If you go to Google and type in 'HTML tutorial' you'll find a plethora of good sites out there.\n\nHope this helped you.

1) Determine the objective of your website...whether its going to be a online photo album or a page about you and your family or a page about your passions say a favorite actress ( :) )...\n2) Once you decide what you want to make it on decide what all you are going to put up\n3) Once you are sure about what all you are going to put up (eg what pics,what text ..what scripts will you be using and all)..search for a good free web host which supports these features (Features such as a ftp client which will allow you to upload your pics,supports the kind of scripting you want like flash,javascript,cgi etc..)\n\nsome good ones are geocties.com,lycos.com,\nbravenet.com,pages.google.com( you will need a gmail id for google pages )\n\n4) Lot of these free web hosts provide website builders which have predefined templates to allow you create a decent website easily and quickly..if you are satisfied with that..well and good..but if you want some more customization then I suggest you get a free WYSIWYG HTML editor such as NVU ..(if you have microsoft frontpage already well and good..its quite good)..\n\n5) Using the editor you can easily create a website ..learning a bit of HTML to improve the site appearance wont harm anything..\n6) If you really want to spice up your website then i suggest you can implement some javascript ...you can learn it and do it or download the scripts from the net and put it on your site..here are some sites which have a lot of good scripts with various functionalities\n\n1) http://www.javascriptkit.com/\n2) http://www.a1javascripts.com/\n3)http://www.java-scripts.net/\n\n4) http://www.javafile.com/\n\n\nsome good html tutorials for your reference are \n\nhttp://www.davesite.com/webstation/html/\nhttp://www.cmis.brighton.ac.uk/~mas/mas/courses/html/html.html\nhttp://founderweb.com/html_tutorial/\nhttp://www.w3schools.com/html/html_examples.asp\n\nHappy building

I recommend hosting on a Linux Apache server. Use HTML, and PHP for the actual programming of the website. Use a mysql database for any database requirements.\n\nThese are the most commonly used and widely support options for a website. Unless your website grows to an enormous size, any good host should be fine. Try hostgator. They're reasonable priced and offer good reliability and support.\n\nContent would totally be up to you. You can make everything from scratch, or you can use pre-made CMS or Blogging platforms. If you choose the blogging route, I recommend wordpress.

You either learn HTML or obtain a program that writes HTML for you. You also need someone with a server to host the website for you.

The answer to this is:  CONTENT\nNow that you know what makes a great website, you need to know what type of content... and the type of content is RELEVANT content (so don't go off trying to be everything to everybody and include mortgage calculators if your not in that business- even the Yahoo portal is only trying to be a portal... although lately their altering their strategy to an online lifespace).

a short question, and a 'tricky' situation.\n\n1.  Do you want a domain name that is all your own?  This will run with Q2, but, you need to decide if you want www.yahoo.com/mypage or www.mydomain.com.\n\n2.  Pick a host.  there are many, many (did I mention many) places to host web sites.  Some are free, some cost an arm and a leg.  You need to determine what you want to pay, what traffic you expect, and what pains you are willing to endure (see any Geocities page with their little nag).  also, what do you want for CGI, scripts, mail-to, database, web reports, etc.  Last, with respect to the pages themselves, do you want to build it, or pay someone else to do it.\n\nif you look on Yahoo or Google, I'd suggest you look for:\n\nDNS Host Registrants\nWeb Site Hosting\nWeb Site development\n\nThose three topics should get you a ton of hits, but, you really need to go into this knowing what your own expectations are.  If its a page for static (non-changing) content that a dozen people will visit, your needs will be different than if you are looking to create a full bore site with ecommerce, identity management, and security (SSL, logins, etc.).\n\nUltimately, if all of the above sounds greek to you, then I strongly suggest you find someone in the business to bounce idea's off of.  Most technical sales people at hosting companies will be relatively forthcoming with information about what is possible as relates to what you want (if you are willing to listen to their sales pitch).\n\nand that does not even begin to address the look and feel aspects of a site (where the two schools of programatic and artistic development tend to clash over 'what is the best' and ultimately you should have a solid idea of what you want before you ask someone to build it for you).

Very good start.\nI think you should have a standard template for your site and then follow the same template standard for the rest of your site.  That will make it look more professional. \nBy the way, are you hosting your website on a stand-alone dedicated server or is it on a regular hosting company?  I hope you know when the forum grows, you'll need to give lots of tech support to your member else you'll lose them.

Start with RT. Instead of building a complex ticket and help system and trying to integrate it with your site, use a solid and robust package that does what you need and only what you need. I've used RT and Bugzilla quite a bit and both of them are probably your best bet.

There are lots of great tools out there that are helpful, including sites that offer templates and help you get started. I have been impressed with the tools and service of GoDaddy (www.godaddy.com). If you'd like to learn more about the process, consider buying this book, which outlines the process, step-by-step: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0764507206/103-0552344-8898226?v=glance&n=283155\n\nHere's some tips from http://website-design.mcdar.net/\n\nSo you want to build a website here I will explain some simple but also key aspects that are commonly taken in to consideration when a website developer creates a website.\n\n1) Website Design - The website design must be neat meaning that everything looks like where it is meant to be (nothing out of place or out of proportion). Also your sites design is related to the topic of your website e.g. your site is about flowers then your design must have flowers.\n\n2) Site Navigation - Visitors must be able to get where they want to go without going through a maze a good way of putting it if you can get there in 3 clicks it should be fine. Also it helps when search engine spiders go through your site since it makes it easy for the spiders to index the site.\n\n3) Domain Name - Domain name is important since it is one of the first thing that your visitors will see. Your domain should relate to your site topic or business name. Length of the domain usually 6-8 characters is a good length and easy for visitors to type.\n\n4) Scroll Bars - don't make your website pages too long so your visitors have to scroll for hours it is also a good option to just create another page and don't make people scroll side to side.\n5) Returning Visitors - make your visitors return to your site by adding one or all to your site:\n\n- Email Newsletter (Ezine)\n- Community Forums\n- Online Tools\n- Online Games\n- Useful Content\n- Competitions and Prizes\n- and so on\n\n5) Website Logo - Make your logo unique and brandable so that people will remember your logo and then will remember your site and products.\n\nThese are some simple points that you may take into consideration when you build your website if you need some further assistance have a look at your competitors website and see what they have done. Remember what you put in is what you get out of your website and on that note GOOD LUCK and enjoy the whole process of building your very own virtual property.\n\n\nAll that said, if you'd like something simple and quick, here's the company that made my website, and they charged me less than $300. I knew nothing about doing it, but it came out great and they guided me every step of the way: www.wordtechs.com.\n\n\nGood luck with your new venture!\n~Tia~

First of all start simple, with HTML. Already you consider using JavaScript... be aware that using a ton of so called "cool" snippets will rather make your website look tacky than modern. \n\nI see you also consider using ASP. ASP or PHP are server-side scripting languages (apart from JavaScript, which is client-side). These languages are far more complex than JScript. Perhaps not so difficult to learn but definitely harder to implement (to run ASP script you need ActiveServer support, to run PHP Apache Server support). If you plan to use a data-driven web application you will also need database server support, such as MS SQL / mySQL. As useful and efficient as these scripts may be, I suggest avoiding them this time (since this is a simple school project). If you insist implementing them you will need web hosting which supports your requests (site will not work remotely! If you want it to run so you must install local server support... which is really difficult, trust me!).\n\nMy advice: use HTML + JavaScript. Do not go beyond this.\nUse a simple interface, with a layout table backbone, with background images in each row, insisting on curved shapes and metallic colors (2 or 3 max, avoiding powerful contrasts). Use only discrete JScripts, only to make your page look interesting, but not annoyingly desperate to catch your eye.\n\nGood luck!\n\nSome good web-hosts:\nhttp://www.hostiz.com\nhttp://www.budly.com\nhttp://www.lx.ro

first, you have to know what type of services your website will provide, so, you can determine what exactly the requirements of your Host.\nah, Host: the server that will 'host' your website files, the PC that will always be on so everyone writes the name of your site in the browser will be able to see your site.\nThere are too many host services available, and for sure every service will cost you more, also hosting php and mysql is cheaper than hosting aspx and sql server.\n\nDesigning the site, and creating it is up to you, you can create it your own and upload it, or make an agreement with another company to build it, upload it for you, and pay for it all.\n\n2nd, Domain: host providers can provide you reserving the name you choose for your site, or , you can reserve it on other domain servers.\n\nI suggest canaca, it is very effective, and one of the cheapest you can find.

building such a website from scratch, would be a tough as well as time consuming task..to make it professional and secure, and to debug, it will take a months to build a website like e-bay..\nthe easier way would be to use CMS desinged to handle online shopping.. some of CMS are free while some are available for purchase.
