Ego Eram Reputo 2,550 Report post Posted February 22, 2009 Perhaps the easiest intro to web design is modifying an up-and-running template. Try here for a load of nice templates: http://freecsstemplates.org/ These templates all come with basic graphics, so just pick one where you like the layout and modify the graphics to suit your style. The only rider for these template is that you link back to the original source. Thats a very reasonable request! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HELEN 358 Report post Posted February 24, 2009 ^^I now have a list of free CSS templates. Also, do you find this site interesting? I know it has its limitations and everything, but for an unemployed person like me and one who will probably be never able to buy any of the "Commericial" programs, I found it decent. Check it out here: http://www.wix.com/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vista? 1 Report post Posted February 24, 2009 Anyone know any sources for a very very simple begginers guide on making websites on either Fireworks, Dreamweaver, or even both? Why not learn HTML first instead of learning how to use the "design view" on dreamweaver? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
survulus 0 Report post Posted February 24, 2009 That does take quite a while though, does it not? And what about Fireworks? Right now I'm failing to see how it fits into web design. Though if I'm desperate my dad does have a book on HTML, and Dreamweaver obviously handles HTML, so.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stephan 0 Report post Posted February 25, 2009 Fireworks hardly "Designs" anything... And if you get some squares exported to Dreamweaver everything you'll get is a map of the image and some text... So please, just learn XHTML+CSS. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ego Eram Reputo 2,550 Report post Posted February 25, 2009 http://www.wix.com/ It fails badly on my personal scale for two reasons: 1. Opening/intro screen - I hate them and there is no clickable option to bypass it 2. Over 30 seconds and the intro still hadn't downloaded. I know my dial-up is slow, but it ain't that slow! UK govt standards for govt webpages recommends a homepage not exceed 40kb. This site is simply too slow for me. I'll look again from work and see if I change my mind.

HELEN 358 Report post Posted February 26, 2009 I had a question about http://www.000webhost.com/. Okay, so I want to make a website under my own name. It says that the hosting is for free. Do I have buy a domain from another place and then the hosting will be for free or it's free, like free? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It says that the hosting is for free. Do I have buy a domain from another place and then the hosting will be for free or it's free, like free? Usually the "free" services only allow you to inherit the URL from the parent company. This means you might end up with a URL like: dubdubdub.somefreehost.mywebsite.com. (110mb.com works this way). Be somewhat cautious of the "free" services, often they insist on their pound-of-flesh in the form of intrusive advertising (110mb does not, which is why I tend to recommend it for free hosting). Yes hosting can be free under these circumstances. If you choose to subscribe to a service (subscriptions are generally very reasonable and remove the advertising) I recommend you consider a hosting company that is based in your country, or select a company that you consider trustworthy.

Simon Brown 43 Report post Posted February 26, 2009 This means you might end up with a URL like: dubdubdub.somefreehost.mywebsite.com. (110mb.com works this way). Although you can get a subdomain of a domain that looks like a TLD such as *.co.nr or *.co.cc - which allow you to get normal-looking domain for free whilst protecting your privacy. Although many of these "free domain" sites require a link back. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stephan 0 Report post Posted February 27, 2009 I'e already got Dreamweaver, dunno how highly rated that is. If you seriously bought that, you need to think about your pursaches in the future... If you don't know a single line of HTML, and decide to buy the entire Adobe Creative suite, there's something wrong with you. If on the other, you have a pirated version, then I think it will not be appreciated on this forum. Rick himself discourages it to the utmost, and I myself agree. If you want a commercial product, pay for it. The Adobe guys have better things to do then battle keygens. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stephan 0 Report post Posted February 27, 2009 Okay, perhaps that was a bit unfair, but either decision would've been inappropiate. All I'm trying to say is that it was a bit stupid to buy an entire Adobe suite when Photoshop is separatly available. The piracy thing was a sidenote. I'll edit my message as it was unfair to automatically assume he had a pirated version if he didn't buy it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
