Where do I learn how to make websites? Like HTML or to make myspace layouts?

Question

Because, I really really want to learn this.
I know a bit about photoshop.
Is there a program to make these websites?

Answer 1

here's how to make your very first web page.
1. Open notepad (undera ccessories on the start menu of windows).
2. Type the following code (or just copy and paste it to save time):




Hello World!


3. save that file as hello_world.html (make sure that the box below the file name says "All files" and not "text document".
4. Double click on the file you just created. Your web browser should open and at the very top it should say "Hello World!" with the words "My very first web page" in the title bar.

So, now that you've made your first one, it's time to start working on your next one:

Yes, there is a program called AdobeGoLive which is a Program that makes Web page layouts for websites Its maybe hard to use unless you know how to read the Guide. There also Mircosoft Front page 2007 maybe released next year.

Learn basic HTML Lingo there are many Sources of Information on the internet of course you will need to use a Search Engine type in the Word " HTML", there are Free sources you can find in the Internet.

Answer 3

Ok there are more than one way to make a website. First of all, you will have to learn html. It is basic form of making a webpage. After that, use javascript, java, or other programs according to what kind of website that you want to make.
If you do not want to go through all this trouble and you only want a simple webpage, you can always try Microsoft Front Page as it is efficient and easier. But a little knowledge of html is still a requirement for Front page. I would recommend this as it saves alot of time.
Photoshop and websites are almost completely different things so that doesnt help.
Front page is almost self explanatory... click the white paper icon on the top left corner under "file" to begin... look under to see Normal( to put in pictures and do stuff without html-->cut-copy-paste stuff), Html (for typing in html codes if needed), and preview (to see your final outcome). Go to file>properties to change background and stuff like that..
Check my source for html help if required..

Answer 4

The web is full of free tutorials and courses, do a Yahoo Search for the topic, such as "learn html" or "learn to make webpages" and browse the results. Most people don`t realize how easy html can be, because the code scares them away. Frontpage is an easy tool to use, you can even make a page without learning code, but code comes in handy when you want to add a special touch or deal with a specially hard to get effect.

Hi!
It takes hard work and dedication. There are many places on the net if you do a search for "free website design classes" or something like that. One that I found recently is http://www.webdesignfromscratch.com/

There are plenty more on delphi forums. I can give you one that I know and frequent. The people that run these forums are the nicest people you will ever meet on the web. They spend their time helping others. It's worth signing up (takes one minute to become a member). I Highly recommend checking out:

Have a blast (at the delphi forums). I just might head over there myself to freshen up some of my web design skills as it seems everything has changed since I last built my websites in 1997 and 2000. hehe
Good luck to you!

Answer 6

Buy some books and learn. That's the most effective way to 'master' the art. Make sure you learn HTML and Javascript at the least. Free online tutorials is best as a supplement for what you have learned in books.

Answer 7

Your best bet is to get a book named HTML for the World Wide Web by Elizabeth Castro this is a great reference to get you going on the structure of writing HTML and XHTML. Now for Myspace like everyone else is saying you need to learn CSS. I recommend a book called Stylin' with CSS by Charles Wyke-Smith. Really friendly way to get you going on what CSS is with tons of examples. The key is to learn the HTML first CSS builds on that. Then you can go into PHP or ASP or Javascript then SQL. Good luck!

Answer 8

If you know photoshop, there is a slice tool in Photoshop CS2 and if you have earlier versions, then you can use Imageready which is accessible through Photoshop. I recently put together a website in literally an hour with the use of Photoshop slice tool. What I did, was picked my overall resolution of my site, and then designed it in layers. Then I started to segment the page using the slice tool. Then you switch over to image ready(the logo in the bottom of the tool box) and then save optimized for web, select HTML and all your stuff comes out in an html webpage with relevant images located in an image box. Before you go to image ready, go over your sliced boxes and right click to edit. Make sure you select no image in the areas that you can fill in with a simple background color, otherwise it will be blocks of images to make up the layout, and that can be quite of a memory hog.

Now if you want to get really into it, use Dreamweaver 8 to retool the design.

Answer 9

I took a course on HTML in middle school. Maybe you could find one at a local community college.

Lots of sites have pre-made MySpace layouts. The one I use is pimpmyspace.com.

Answer 10

Yeah, there are quite a few programs to make website. Actually Microsoft Word can make websites, too that include forms and interactive activities. Microsoft also makes Front page, which makes website. Other than Microsoft, my reccomendations are Macromedia's Dreamweaver and BBEdit (only if you're on a Mac).

However, if you're interested in picking up HTML and Javascript codes yourself, http://www.htmlgoodies.com and http://www.jsmadeeasy.com are GREAT sources of learning!!!

Answer 11

HTML (and I'd also advice looking at CSS if your interested in MySpace layouts) is fairly simple to pick up. There are MANY websites that teach you, www.lisaexplains.com, www.htmlgoodies.com and www.w3schools.com to name a few.

There are also many programs in the market that will allow you to make websites using both pre built templates as well as visual editors. They range in price from the quite expensive dreamweaver (www.adobe.com) to small, lighter programs such as stylemaster (www.westciv.com)
