How do you start?

How do you actually start building your website? This whole thing with the pay, forum, free hosting is confusing me to hell.

what do you mean ?

First get an webbuilding program , eg mozilla composer
make / get an template eg www.freelayouts.com
upload it to your ftp/http server like Bizhat

So, what if I dont know how to use HTML, I go to something like Microsoft FrontPage, make the site, and then copy & paste the HTML. Where do I do that stuff, I see no where on the site to sign in... :?

When I press "Free Hosting" or when I go to my domain (ogi.bizhat.com) and at the bottom it says "Click here to Create your own free web site" it brings me back to http://www.netfreehost.com/ and asks me to SIGN UP.

oops, never mind I found where to Log in, I'll go on my way now, what's that thing that someone was saying that the server is down and they're moving.

How to do a website :wink: :
1 get a template from someon or a site like frewebtemplates.com
2 change the index file in word or something else (writing html)
3 save it and name it index.html
4 upload it to bizhat by a ftp program
5 done you now have a website...

But you only have 1 page of it .. :D

make another file thats kalled whateveryouwhant.html
and make a link to it from the first page (index file)

:D


(srry for my bad english)

Thanks ScrAwL for the help, don't worry your English is understandable. I’ve heard about the layout websites but I don’t like them much, I like having custom things on my site, I make my own layout on Paint, Photoshop… etc.

www.freewebtemplates.com
nice site)

sir,
i hav created my website in bizhat.com free sites..
url is ablaze.bizhat.com
index.html , index.htm, and main.htm files are uploaded to the site but now the default page is not coming directly ...
can u help me please..

Ablaze

I tested your site.
Oened index.html, index.htm.
Main.htm is not founded.
Actually I don't understand what help you need.

If you have an html prebuilt you simply upload the files via de FTP server and voila it should work fine. If you have a php script you need to upload it to the server create the database and also have the admin activate the php on youre site. Hope this helps

Build site with frontpage,whatever then upload all site files,graphics.

first , u learn HTML , after you can learn PHP . I think you will install Frum if you learn HTML and PHP

Yeah, Microsoft FrontPage is possibly the easiest thing to build websites with. I don’t like it personally but when you in the website designing business your sometimes forced to use FrontPage, mainly because it's the fastest and these days its all about deadline.

There was a time when coding on Notepad was respectful, now it’s just time consuming. I for one will stick with my coding on Notepad, it's just more funner to me, yeah there is more stress on Notepad, but hey nothing's perfect. The internet moves fast.

(Oh yeah, I figured out how to use this website and it's pretty easy when I think about it)

Go here http://www.freelayouts.com/templates/display/templates/ they have easy to use templates. Just edit the fields and upload it to your site. :D

I start design build my own website use Marcomedia Dreaweaver software. I use a free template as a sample to design website. You can create with your own idea with this software. Basiclly I just use HTML... now I want to learn more about PHP.

I also use Dreaweaver software to design my web.
