Building Your First Web Site

Written by Joe Bingham


Continued from page 1

As with most things, you get what you pay for. Consider your time, what you have to invest, and what your goals are. If you want to do anything beyond just basic text and pictures, you'll be better off to buy a good HTML editor.

Whatever you do, if you plan on making a good web site, you need to learn at least some HTML. Here are a couple of sites that offer tutorials to get you started.

One other great way to learn is by making a very simple page in an html editor and then looking throughrepparttar 132818 code. Look at a particular section of your page, then examine howrepparttar 132819 code makes that section. What <> tags do what? makes bold lettering,

makes a paragraph, makes a break inrepparttar 132820 text without starting a new paragraph. Often, just by knowing what a few tags do and then looking at what else is there will teach you about howrepparttar 132821 code works.

The better editors like Front Page do pretty much everything for you. However, knowing at least a little aboutrepparttar 132822 code can help you identify problems.

Often, items you'll want to add to your site will be available for you by copying and pastingrepparttar 132823 actual HTML code onto your site. Here's a tip. If you do that, and it doesn't work, it's probably becauserepparttar 132824 code didn't copy over right. At least with Front Page, you have to copyrepparttar 132825 code from it's source, paste it into a text editor like Notepad, and then recopy it beforerepparttar 132826 HTML will transfer over correctly.

Here is probablyrepparttar 132827 best suggestion I can give you for building your first web site, and it's something I've learnedrepparttar 132828 hard way. Stay simple. It's better to have a simple site that everything works on than to try to do too much beyond your abilities and end up with problems.

Start simple, learn more, and work your way up. Get an HTML editor and work in it BEFORE you purchase web hosting. There's no point in paying for a spot onrepparttar 132829 web before you haverepparttar 132830 capability to fill it.

Consider what you want out of your web site and search for what will help you meet those goals. Don't be afraid of HTML. I'd dare say 99.9% ofrepparttar 132831 web sites you see out there were made by people that don't know anymore about it thanrepparttar 132832 next guy does. They have just practiced with their HTML editors and kept at it until they gotrepparttar 132833 results they wanted.

Learn first, start simple, then expand. You can have your own web site, just take it one step at a time.

“Competitive systems can cost $600,000 or more,” according to Vincent. However, iConductor is currently available on a promotional basis for $1,295 including a powerful core set of tags.
