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.

Try free software from this site...\nhttp://www.easyphp.org\nYOu probably need some books from the library as reference too, happy php :)

I am not sure what you plan to develop for, but if you are developing for web I would recommend PHP, not necessarily because it is the best but because it is the most used. If someone else needs to change your code, you will have an easier time finding someone who uses PHP than the other languages. Also, almost anything you would need to write in PHP has been written by someone, somewhere, so it is usually easy to find code on the internet that does what you want (For example, PEAR)

Designing a website is a complexed thing, unless you do not want it simple.\n\nYou'll require the knowledge of HTML, PHP, JAVA and many more languages to do dynamic sites or rather static sites.\n(Dynamic are constantly changing sites like CNN NEWS site. Static are sites that has no changing content.)\n\nBut there are so many softwares, that has already designed templates, to assist you with your intention. You could find them at www.downloads.com and simply enter key words "Site creation software/web page designing".\n\nAlso be aware that, designing a site is only a basic part. But you'll need means to successfully make them available for the world to access. For this you'll need a Domain, simply the address/location where your sites going to be i.e. www.yoursite.com or www.lycos.co.uk/yoursite. There various options like paid domains and free domains. \n\nNext you'll need a place to keep the files, so that @ anytime anyone could come access them. This location is called a "server". The storage service offered is called "Web-hosting". Usually there is a fee for this service. But you do find free web-hosting services, though under certain conditions, the web-hosting service would add its own banner on your site.\n\nFor paid and free domains you could visit,\nwww.geocities.com\nwww.tripod.co.uk\n\nThese sites offer both paid and free domains and web-hosting services inclusive of value added services. (PHP support, MYSQL support database)\n\nHope this was interesting and educative.

Its basically a place that supprts php. If the web hosting site your using doesnt support php then that means if you made something you couldnt save it as an .php file only an .html file. Most web hosting sites (yahoo) support php or in other words has a framework for php, and your chances for finding one are better  if your paying for it.

Most popular seems to be ASP.NET. Pages usually (but not always) end in .aspx\n\nAJAX is another new technology that sort of combines ActiveX and Javascript in a way that adds some "live" functionality to sites. Google Maps, for example, uses it.\n\nSome sites still use Perl.\n\nContrary to the other poster, I have yet to see any major Fortune 500 site written in PHP. \n\nFor the money, learn/use ASP.NET. It's the de facto standard today.\n\nKind regards.

I recently was approached by a friend of a friend to produce them a modelling website.  I said yes.\n\nWhat i didn't tell them was i had never done a web-page before!!  Well I downloaded a program called coffeecup that gives you fairly clean code (compared to Frontpage), and used its visual editor to start.  I then looked at the code it had produced to see what was going on.  After also looking up different HTML tags and how to do tables and such, it was much easier and i was now able to write HTML without using the visual editor.\n\nI then had to tackle PHP to do a few bits.  I used these websites to get what i wanted.\n\nhttp://www.faqts.com/knowledge_base/index.phtml/fid/51\nhttp://www.zend.com/php/index.php\nhttp://www.devtek.org/tutorials/image_gallery.php\nhttp://www.webdeveloper.com/\n\nAnyway i went from knowing nothing to producing a website, with changing images, a web based contact form and a shopping cart (short list) in about 2 weeks of on and off looking at it after work.\n\nIt is more than possible to learn to do web design in short amounts of time.  Obviously for more complex features it just takes longer, but i have found all information available on the web that i need.  Certainly no need for a 10,000 course.  Also simply look at the source for websites to see what others are doing.\n\nGet a project to work on, research the web and do it!\n\nGood luck and enjoy.\n\nFor my small triumph, visit http://www.seenmodels.com

Obviously, you need to learn a lot about PHP, HTML, CSS and many others before owning a site. Uh, I don't make layouts using Photoplus and Webplus. I use Adobe Photoshop CS2 and Adobe ImageReady CS2 often to create layouts.

The web that you see is a mixture of different technologies. First get the basic HTML and javascript books to get you started with static sites. But my favourite is dynamic ones. Many technologies are out there like .NET, PHP, ASP, JSP and others. Find out about these technologies and specialize on one of them. If you ask me I would go for PHP.

To design a webpage there are so many things you will need to learn but the primary thing you need to know is HTML \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\nTo spice up your site you can use javascript or flash\n\nsome javascript tutorials are \n\nhttp://www.w3schools.com/js/default.asp\nhttp://www.pageresource.com/jscript/\nhttp://www.javascriptkit.com/\nhttp://www.htmlgoodies.com/beyond/javascript/index.php\n\nflash tutorials\n\nhttp://www.actionscript.org/resources/categories/Tutorials/\nhttp://www.flashadvisor.com/movie/index.php?viewCat=32\nhttp://www.layoutgalaxy.com/html/htmnewletter30-page1.htm\n\nhope it helps

Joe, which internet are you living in?  Most pages dont' use asp or java servlets.  Most use PHP and MySql.  Or just Html, ajax, etc.\n\nI think the question was really, why do you need to the <html> tag at the begining of a html document.  It's to tell the computer how to render it.

Well I have over 10 domains on different web-hosts which I work on (some free of course). It ain't a heap of fun but it's interesting.  And I don't use any stupid web-templates (*cough* My Space sucks *cough*), I write my own code (yes, that includes PHP). And I also am an independent Apache PHP 5 / mySQL / SMTP Mail server - I use my own PC to test my pages and sometimes use it as a web-server (my IP allows me to do so).

Your question cannot be answered. Again, it is too broad, and -- with all due respect -- it's obvious you are highly confused. \n\nYou should read a few primer books about PHP, then refocus your questions. Again, I think you will find PHP For Dummies to be a very wise $30 investment at this juncture.

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
