Dreamweaver MX studio, is the cream of the crop....

but can be expensive to purchase, and a little complicated to use, but will have all the features you could ever ask for.

Otherwise use Frontpage from the Office pack.
Quite easy to use, not as good as Dreamweaver MX

If you use FrontPage make sure your ISP supports FrontPage extentions. You may also need a good FTP client software to upload your web pages to the server. I use FTP Pro. If you do use FrontPage you can download a bunch of add ons on the internet to make your site more 'colorful'. I have done all of my site with FrontPage and plug-ins I have found on the net. Check it out.

Notepad is all you need . If you are well versed in HTML that is.

Dreamweaver MX is the best but Frontpage does well. I use SmartFTP to upload the pages. You can get it free from www.SmartFTP.com

If you us Frontpage do not us the plug-in most servers do not support them. A lot of web browser do not ether.

Macromedia offer 30 day trials of all their products, grab the 30 day trial of Dreamweaver MX and use that - Frontpage is the spawn of satan for us web developers!

Netobjects Fusion...

Use front page cause you got it...but I like Netobjects Fusion, it is more drag and drop style of program...operates like Quark Express(desktop pub software) and I do that for a living so it fit me well.

www.nircha.com I built with it

In life there is no spacebar!

Dreamweaver MX has it's own built-in FTP site list, that make it really easy to FTP any modifications.
Spend the money on Dreamweaver if you can, you'll never go back. As for Frontpage...... i've seen freeware web editors that can do a better job

Let RunRyder's fast server and the "My Gallery" feature host your heli related site.

Everything you do in Frontpage can be pasted into your gallery.

Asking how to make a web site is like asking how to fly helicopters. You'll get a different reply from everyone. Your equipment (or application) makes a difference. Not everybody is good at making web sites. Some code like TB/JK/CY while others never got off the ground.

Personally I use PFE for the txt stuff, Adobe PS for imgs, and winSCP for file transfers.

Simple enough.

Well i am sure i will have a play around. When i do start and if i do finish it i shall of course let you all know.

Now Re: my www address,,,,, that will be something silly like my email address with something added to change it into a www name.

How do i go on about getting my own www name. ie www.chef.com (not that that is what it will be)

DO i have to pay for any of this or can i get a domain name free as well as web space ?


Thanks..............

Domain Names

You will have to pay for a domain name. I pay 13.50 for our domain name.

As far as website creation, I am enrolled in a web design program and I am about half way done, we use dreamweaver, photoshop and flash. For database work we use cold fusion.

Front page is a quick way to develope a site for the person with little to no website design experience.

Have fun and remember that it is your site, so have fun making it.

you'll have to pay for the domain now, not much though, it's usually about 10 pounds here in the UK. Use www.ukreg.com to register it. If you already have 'free space' you can use domain mapping so that when people type www.yourdomain.com they get redirected to www.someserver.com/~username type stuff. You can also setup email forwarding so that mail to me@yourdomain.com comes thru to your current email address. PM me if you want a hand,

For editing
I like dreamweaver myself, Homesite is another good one. Evrsoft 1st Page is a great alternative for free, .If your goin to type the html yourself bacially anything that has color coding and simple tools to save you typing everything.

if your learning this tutorial isn't bad (actually its quite good it will teach you heaps) you can work through it step by step
http://www.mcli.dist.maricopa.edu/tut/
or download the entire files and go through them off line
http://www.mcli.dist.maricopa.edu/tut/download.html

http://hotwired.lycos.com/webmonkey/ is another great source of information with lots of tutorials

what r your plans for your site?

Another piece of software that is decent and inexpensive is "namo webeditor 5.5". Check Amazon.com as they were running a good rebate promotion a couple of weeks ago on it. Layout is similar to frontpage but it has more wizards, clipart and features that help a first timer.

The links at the Evrsoft website and mirror site do not work.
I found an alternate location for downloading the 1st page software.

Tips on making web page, use at your own risk

Use whatever software works for you, the folks here have offered some great suggestions. I'm not into all the flash and such so I just use Notepad and Allaire Homesite which gives you a WYSIWYG(Wiz-e-Wig - What you see is what you get) editor, a browser(uses IE) and an advanced text editor for raw HTML all in one. WYSIWYG editors are notorious for making a mess of the raw HTML which is difficult to decipher if you ever have to do some things by hand, homesite is no different.

Worry about presenting your information in an easy to access(in plain view) and easy to read format. Try not to make one page with EVERYTHING on it, break it down into multiple pages using a logical structure. Music = Bad, not everyone has your taste in music and most folks will leave a page before they turn the volume down.

Simple text only pages with clickable links are a good start. Once you're happy with the data presentation, then consider developing graphics.

Put a link on your page to your e-mail address and ask your viewers for their opinions, some will be unrealistic, but you can rake in quite a good amount of usefull information, spelling corrections, etc

If you use a graphic background, make sure that the entire text is readable at any point on the page and not washed out.

Find a "Worst of the Web" website and check out the pages they link to, there are some really horribly designed pages out there which are a great "What not to do" guide.
