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.

Jamieson:\n\nVery artistic. \n\nTheir is a thin line between a professional looking website and an artistic one that wraps around your personality.\n\nBy professional I mean the basic white background and the boxy features.\n\nI like your website for one basic reason: "It's different" and it is crafted "passionately". That alone is enough to draw quite a chunk of visitors. \n\nBear in mind that some will still be repulsed for one reason or another. Fortunately we are talking about a pool of nearly one billion potential visitors.\n\nI wouldn't be worried about about it after all thoroughly ugly websites like http://www.craigslist.com/ are doing so well.\n\nI checked your Search Engine stats and I have a feeling your website is new. \n\nIf that's the case, just market it to the search engines relentlessly. You will eventually get there.\n\nGood work!

1) First 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 sports ( :) )...\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

A good place to start is Yahoo Geocities. They have layouts and templates and ideas. You can play with it and change it as often as you want. Once you get a feel for how you like things, how to arrange things, etc. there are more advanced sites. \n\nHave fun!

Follow any of the above advise and you will have a website that looks or works like what you paid for it. If you truly want to be successful in business you really don't want the first thing that potentially hundreds or thousand of people might see is some home made web page. \n\nTrue, any idiot can make a web page, most of them look like an idiot made it and most of them are either out of business or did what I did after I tried to do it myself and called a professional. Home made websites are like homemade brochures, they scream amateur, unprofessional and newbie. \n\nYou can find custom affordable web developers out there with a little work. Look for some one that has a large portfolio of work, who is proficient on all phases of what makes a successful website ie: Quality (non template) graphics, well defined and logical navigation, well functioning code/scripts and programs and most importantly marketing. You want someone who will help your website function as a major part of your marketing effort not as a hacked up afterthought.\n\nRemember two things....\n1) It does you no good to have a great billboard if it is sitting in the middle of the desert where nobody will see it (in other words, if nobody can find your website, what good is it).\n2) You never get a second chance to make a good first impression.\n\nI used a company down in California called Bright Hope Designs to do my sites for me. They are where I learned what I'm telling you. I was an amateur and they are very professional and are affordable.

Consider buying or downloading Microsoft Publisher or Printshop (unless you want to use that html thingy!)\n\nChoose your combination color first. 2,3 or 4 colors is ok. Too many color will make you look like clown.\n\nThen, design on a piece of paper. Where you want to put the hyperlink is... the text... how large... what pictures..... bla bla bla.\n\nThen start on your project. If you have Microsoft Publisher or Printshop, there is tons of webpage design that you can personalize.\n\nThen, right click the save one. Right click and open with notepad. Copy the html codes from website. As example if you want your scrollbar color match your webpage, or word tailing your mouse point.....)\n\nAfter it done, upload to your hosting server like Geocities Yahoo or whatever. Rename your supposed-to-be home on your website index.html. Finish!\n\nHey, try this \nhttp://www.bravenet.com\nit's free!

One of the easiest ways to do this is by first creating an image in something like photoshop. Layout all your graphics until you get a page that looks very much like you want it. Then use the slice tool to cut out the graphics. You can then drop those graphics into a table and be off and running.\n\nI have added a link to a nice website for showing you a bit of what I am talking about. This page is a 7 step tutorial on how to create a nice web template with photoshop.\n\nEnjoy!
