Step 3

In this step you have to design your web site....This is the most important step of creating a website

There are to methods for designing a website
1. HTML :This is diffuclt method and requires a n HTML knowledge
2. Simple method :However this method is very easy as compared to HTML method but you can not make advanced website by using this method for making simple website u can use this method

So lets use this simple method

For this we need a Web desgning software
There are a variety of web desgning softwares on the web...
But i will suggest to use this simple software

Bluevoda website builder
You can download it for free from the following website
http://www.bluevoda.com/
This a cool software with cool features :

developer checkmark No HTML web design knowledge required (Very Easy Use - Drag & Drop)
developer checkmark Pre - designed website templates included (Create Unlimited Web Pages)
developer checkmark "One Click Publishing" Go live on the internet in seconds!
developer checkmark Create an Unlimited number of Websites (No Restrictions)
developer checkmark Let your imagination run wild!

Or if you don't like this software you can also use these softwares
Microsoft Office frontPage
Macromedia (Adobe) Dreamweaver
or anyother which you like................

Now start making your website on one of the above mentioned softwares.....
You can put your own things on your website easily by these softwares because these software have GUI (Graphical user Interphase) drag and drop technology.....

[faviouz]

I don't recommend "drag & drop" when creating our first website. You earn one special thing by hand-code your website: no one can say it's theirs, since it was you who made it, and not some software who did if for you. Besides that, you earn experience with it.
However it can be used when you're in a hurry or something.

Thanks anyway.

urs welcome dude

Hey, bluevoda software can only be used with sites hosted on bluehost ( as what i heard )

[Labrocca]

There are better wysiwyg tools out there. Free hosts are fine to use but they often lack good tools to help webmasters create a nice website that's custom.

I recommend starting with a free template from a place like oswd.org but also just getting a free script like Wordpress, Joomla, or even Mybb are a great start. Graphics are available in many place and there are even free Graphics programs like GIMP to help get you started.

Good post though. Thanks.

[ridwan sameer]

yeah, i think wordpress and MyBB are great, wordpress as a homepage, and MyBB as a forum, excellent, you can get friends to do graphics, or get some done your self, pretty easy

Dreamweaver has its own templates built in. Why not just use them?
Some of them are pretty good too.



I have always been a fan of liquid websites. Very important to me. I need websites to fill my screen. I really dont like pages that are left justified or whatever.

Not everybody has $399 to buy Dreamweaver. Plus many people don't want to download it illegally.

True Snowman but if you are serious about design then its money well spent or a worthy download
Personally i cant say i know many people on the net that dont want shit for nothing. Im sure they exist but not in my circles.
Valid point either way. Its a very expensive tool but in my opinion one of the best if not the best.

If you're serious about design. Learn HTML, CSS, Javascript, and possibly PHP.
