I want to be able to create my web page on my laptop when I am on the go, or when I am in places that have no Internet connection.
Is it possible?If yes, how?

Yeah, its possible. You need to download and install some web design software though. Frontpage is great for beginners, I recommend it. Dreamweaver is good when you get a bit more advanced.
You can also use Notepad (Harder, but you will learn more from using it), or CoffeeCup (http://www.coffeecup.com/free-editor ) Free, and more helpful than notepad)
After you've got your editor, start by learning some basic HTML code.
http://www.w3schools.com/
http://www.htmlcodetutorial.com/...
Or get a good book :o)
So to make a basic webpage you need to write some HTML code into your editor:
Hi everyone! This is my first website.
Thanks for visiting!
If you copy and paste that into a Notepad file, and save the file as 'index.html'. Have a look at the file and you will see a basic page. The more HTML code you learn, the better your page will look!
Then you can upload your site when you have an internet connection. Most people design sites offline anyway, unless they're using the online page builders, which you do have to use online.
Does this help?

Hey there.
From a traveling W designer to the next.
For static pages.. Html will work fine. If you know html, java script then you can test it with a web browser. Change the code with a edit program like "NOTEPAD!!!"
Or you could use a program that will create the code for you like
Dreamweaver, Hot Metal Pro or some other design program.
BUT>>> If you would like to add something like a database, then you would need to use a programming language like php or asp.
I use php and I downloaded Apaches server which I use as a local server. It works the same as most of the other servers on the web. You can use dynamic scripts to run queries from the server on your own pc. It is a good way to test the web page on a server environment.
At the end you only upload the file to the appropriate folders on the web domain and you are set.

there are several programs that you can design a webpage from...you can use everything from the text editor (notepad, or wordpad built in to windows) to frontpage or publisher or word can also do it, depends on your level of html and javascript knowledge and whether the host accepts third party program files or not.
If you have a simple site then writing all the code in a text file may be the way to go, if its more complicated, like you have alot of links, and scripts running on the page, you may be better off with a program like frontpage.

It's really very simple and FREE.
1. Download Apache (http://www.apache.org)
2. Install (not too hard - lots of tutorials available - http://www.thesitewizard.com/archive/apache.shtml)
3. You are now ready to test your web pages 'as if' they are online - if you use the default intsallation then this is in the 'htdocs' folder within the apache folder.
Once you're designed the pages then you need to upload them to your host. That should be it.

If you don't have a program a "html authoring tool" like dreamweaver, or inDesign or frontpage available (since they cost money) you can use any other freeware or shareware "html editor" to help you modify your web pages offline
I recommend the very nice http://editplus.com editor but even notepad on windows will let you edit any html page
(you just have to know a little HTML to do so)

If you download a low-cost WYSIWYG editor named WeBuilder, you can write your code (any and all of many types - HTML, CSS, javascript, PHP, etc.)
Then, if you have browsers, WeBuilder lets you "preview" your web pages offline. You set up, in WeBuilder, shorcuts that tell WeBuilder where to find those browsers. (Actually, WeBuilder usually comes with sniffers built-in for Firefox and Internet Explorer and usually does a good job of finding them on its own.
I have my WeBuilder set up to preview in various releases of Internet Explorer, Firefox, Netscape, Opera, and a browser from W3 (Amaya).
Two sorts of "preview" are available. One is in the editing window. These are available with Firefox and Internet Explorer. The other is a full-blown separate window preview (as you'd see online) in a separate window. Of course, the browser may bug you to connect, when you're previewing, but you just need to "Cancel" when it tries to connect and/or go into the browser's File menu item and click Work Offline.
It's that easy. I hope my explanation is clear and is what you're seeking. Good luck!
P.S. to preview pages with "server side" stuff, of course, you will have had to download server-side power, like the free Apache server, and have it running so's you can, say, preview your PHP script.

Yes
Do not have any links to anything outside of the page itself, at least not at the early design stage.
Leave space for those link areas, so long as you know their space needs. Just Code using references within the page directories

you can creat your web pages offline and make them as a website by combining all thouse web pages.
if you are using only HTML,DHTML,ect, or asp,asp.net or scripting languages...
you can create an virtual directory in IIS(interner information service ) in your control panel.
and you can access it using the localhou
