How do you design a website using notepad?

Answer 1

Get a book on HTML, CSS, DHTML, XML, JavaScript, and other web technologies. Web pages are just plain text files. To create one in notepad, you need to know how to write them.

From a simplistic point of view, each of the above is essentially a dialect of a language used by computers to read web pages.

Notepad is your paper you write on.

You know how to use notepad to write a note to yourself, right?

You could write a note to yourself on a sheet of paper too.

Now if you want to write a letter in chinese, how are you going to do that if you don't know chinese? That's basically what you're asking. So learn HTML, CSS, etc and writing a web page in Notepad will be obvious.

Answer 2

I don't understand why people even try to answer these questions when it is obvious they have no expertise at all.

Right now I am sitting at work, where I am employed as a website designer. I use Notepad all day long, so for people that think you can't, SHUT UP and go away. You have nothing to offer this person except your wrong opinions.

Coding in Notepad is easy, as long as you understand HTML (previously defined as HyperText Markup Language by another poster) - if you don't understand HTML, you will have a tough time with coding in Notepad. You might want to consider a WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) editor to help you out. This will allow you to design a site using their tool, and it will write the code for you.

If you are interested in coding in Notepad, probably the best way to get started is to take a look at the source code (HTML code) for the current page you are on. In Internet Explorer, go to View -> Source and it should open up a Notepad window with the source code in it. Like some of the examples the other people typed, it will look a bit like the following:







Text of the page




If you are looking for someone to tell you exactly what to write to code your page, this is not the right place for that. Your best bet is to get a book, something like "Website Design for Dummies" - just make sure to read over the description and thumb through the pages to make sure they are actually teaching you the HTML Tags and not just how to use Dreamweaver or some other program.

Once you get the basics down (you can hand-code a basic page, with a table and a few images) without pause in Notepad, then you're ready to move on to CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) and DHTML (Dynamic HTML, which allows some pretty cool interactivity...if you've heard of AJAX, it could also be referred to as DHTML 2.0)

Hope this helps - if you need more detailed info (or you'd like to clarify your question) give me an email at tschmitt98 - I have yahoo mail account.

Answer 3

You first write the html code on notepad. Then save it as a html file. This is how you create a website using notepad.

Answer 4

If you know HTML then this will be real easy. If you don't know HTML then you better start there first.

1. You create a new text document on your desktop (or where ever) by right clicking the desktop then New>Text Document.

2. You type or paste all your code into the text Document

3. You click File>Save As. Then you type a file name in the "File Name" box. The file name must look like this "anyThingYouWant.html". And change the "Save as Type" to "all files". Choose where you want to save it and click "Save".

Now you can go find and open the new html file you just created and open it. You can make changes to the txt file you have open and save it by clicking File>Save. Then hit refresh on the web page and your changes will be shown.

If you just have the web page open, then you can click View>Source and the source code will open in a text document that you can use to edit the page in the same manner as above. But only if it's a web page on your computer. This doesn't work for pages you are viewing on the net unless you save the source as html on your computer.

Generally, this is the first thing you would learn if you knew HTML tho.

Answer 5

Design or create? Since web pages are just plain text, you can use notepad to enter the markings to create the page. If you don't know HTML, then it is going to be pretty hard to create a web site using notepad.
