| 553399 | 2007-05-26 10:37:00 | Hello, I would like to learn how to create a simple, straightforward web site. I can find my way around a computer reasonably well but certainly don't claim to be an expert. Can anyone suggest a good, easy to understand web program with templates, that an older 'newbie' like me could follow with limited input of both time and grey matter. Perhaps there are books like 'Web sites for dummies' or some such title that someone could recommend also as a further starting point. My Dell Dimension 4700 computer runs XP Pro with 1GB SDRAM, 160 GB hard drive and broadband if that is of any help. Any and all suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks, Peterver |

| 553400 | 2007-05-26 10:53:00 | You could try a program like Nvu nvu.com It's 'what you see is what you get' website design prog.... instead of writing code, you put the pieces where you want them to be, pics text etc. There are also tutorials and help pages in the link above. PS- it's a FREE program :) |

Thanks, Peterver You don't actually need a super grunty PC for web design, so your PC would be more than adequate. Although I don't rate it highly you could try MS Frontpage. You could also check out Web Design for Dummies at any Borders bookstore The pros use Dreamweaver. ;) By Adobe. |

| 553403 | 2007-05-26 11:56:00 | I'd recommend reading something like The Complete Idiots Guide to Creating a Web Page (www.amazon.com) which teaches you how to create a webpage from scratch using nothing more than Notepad. Or you could check out W3schools (http://www.w3schools.com/) online |

| 553404 | 2007-05-26 12:32:00 | I am with winmacguy here; I would also give Microsoft FrontPage a try(For your first website) (Although I am not a big fan of it, I use Dreamweaver) | stu161204 (123) | ||
| 553405 | 2007-05-26 13:15:00 | yeah, i find frontpage and dreamweaver are ok too. although knowing how to manually edit files in notepad does come in handy, you don't need it. besides, all the spelling is in american so doing it all by hand can be frustrating in notepad - i spent 30 minutes to discover i had put a "u" in colour, causing various problems lol |
