How do I create a web site?

I want to create and host a web site for teens can post up blogs and questions. I don%26#039;t know where to start. Do i have to get a domain first? then a hosting contract? And what program should I use to create site?

How do I create a web site?

I have created many websites myself using HTML. HTML programs include simple ones like Wordpad and Frontpage. you can find MS Frontpage on the 2003 Office CD.

If you have frontpage, it makes it much easier even if you dont have HTML knowledge. just open up frontpage and press F1 for help. or do a google search on %26#039;HTML for dummies%26#039;.

For HTML knowledge also try www.htmlgoodies.com. that is where i started, and now i can create proffessional website in a matter of days.

Well, get your HTML knowledge and you can write your own code. OR you can use the inbuilt functions in Frontpage to create your website according to what is available.

Also, what you can do is buy Macromedia, or get it off a friend for free if possible. Macromedia software such as Dreamweaver is great for creating websites. very easy too. just read up a little in the help function. in conjuction with this, you can use Macromedia Flash, and Macromedia Fireworks for creating amazing graphics and animations.

Macromedia also has an online video tutorial if you want to learn more. Go to the ADOBE website (www.adobe.com) for more info.

You may also use Photoshop, which is another Adobe product, for creating graphics and editing and manipulating pictures, or even creating logos.

!!!VERY USEFUL:::::

For knowledge on any software, eg. frontpage, dreamweaver, fireworks, flash or basically any thing else, you can visit WWW.PIXEL2LIFE.COM - the best online tutorials you will ever find.

For a free and very basic site that doesnt require much time and effort, visit www.freewebs.com and register.

another free provider is ww.friendpages.com which i would not recommend too much.

also try www.dottk.com

IF YOU ARE REALLY INTERESTED IN MAKING A WEBSITE, and wish to spend the money and build a proffessional website and have marketing done on it, send me a personal message and i can give you my friend%26#039;s email address who is a master webdesigner. he lives in sydney but has been under contract with WWE from USA, a German TV channel, and has played a part in creating the official massari website. so i mean, he is a real PRO!

he does charge money but it is not too much. contact me for more info.

Other Replys:yahoo sells domains. if you want a free one go to angelfire.com. at angelfire, they have lots of tools you can use to build just about anything.

Other Replys:Depends whether you want to pay or not. www.freewebs.com is a really good free website provider. But if you%26#039;re going to look to dish out some cash. You%26#039;ll just have to search around for what fits you best.

Other Replys:try:

www.i8.com

you can get a FREE website for example:

www.websitehere.i8.com

or

www.websitehere.5u.com

I find this is the easiest....

Other Replys:whats you call it......................yahoo search

Other Replys:Since you%26#039;re just starting, I suggest you wade into the shallow end of the pool, so to speak. Since you already have a Yahoo account, take a look at Yahoo 360...

http://360.yahoo.com/

After looking this page over, click on %26quot;My Page%26quot; in the first bar a bit down from the top. It will let you start a blog, upload pictures and music, and lots more. You don%26#039;t have to get any domain to use this. And you don%26#039;t need any extra programs to do it; everything is built in to this page.

(I guess I sound like I work for Yahoo, but I don%26#039;t. I am impressed with what they offer us for free.)

Other Replys:xanga~!

or expage

Other Replys:try these web sites

www.freewebs.com

www.myspace.com

www.xanga.com

www.tagworld.com

etc.

Other Replys:When you choose the best answer. please let me know, so I can start mine. Thanks!!

Other Replys:easy

Other Replys:lots of sites give out domain names. but for the certain kind of site you want. i think you have to find (yahoo search) a good carrier and 99% youll have to pay for it.

Other Replys:by one from yahoo, a help site would be better!

Other Replys:Yes. Yahoo has business sites for like $12/mo that should do for starters, under Geocities.

But first, even if you just intend it for a hobby, write a plan, of what you intend. Do you want to make money?

Then you need a business plan.

http://www.kauffman.org will help a lot.

Microsoft Front Page, or the opensource (free)

http://www.openoffice.org should do, or check out Corel and Adobe. Databases with mysql will be neccessary.

http://www.wired.com has a lot of web host ads.

http://www.cnet.com is good on tech details.

http://w3.org runs the www, and has many schools!

Get started, and let me know how you do, I helped a little!!

Other Replys:why not try www.angelfire.com

Other Replys:Do you ever heard Yahoo Geocites? You can create your own web site.

Other Replys:You got it exactly right.

First you get the name.

Then you get a host that has Chat and SQL Server.

It will take some work to do Blogs. There are no fast templates out for that, but you can possibly use SQL for that.

You need to look at the CGI freeware offering to see if there are any Blog set ups and then you need to work with your host to install it.

They also come with shopping carts and secure servers these days for credit cards.

You have to be ready to spend $50 to $100 a year to keep the site up.

Go to Godaddy.com for names

http://www.godaddy.com

Host Route for hosting

http://www.hostroute.com

Check their reseller plans out:

http://www.hostroute.com/resellers/index...

They are in Ireland but I%26#039;ve been with them for 3 years and have no more problems than with companies in Sherman Oaks, CA!

Both are the chepest

In fact you can get a $90 Host Route plan and sell 4 sites to make money at maybe $20 or $30 a year each and keep one for yourself.

Bandwidth can be an issue after you get going.

You only get about 30 GB a month at most sites

Space can also be an issue. You only get like 500 MB at most sites.

After a while you may have to get a %26quot;shared server%26quot; which costs like $300 a year.

Other Replys:First off if you don%26#039;t know what you are doing or where to start, buy the book Websites for Dummies!

Other Replys:Go to http://www.LissaExplains.com They have info about simple HTML and lessons for beginners. That is where I learned. After you learn how to use HTML, make your webpage useing Microsoft Notepad or another text program (not word). Remember to save all your work as .html, not .txt! After you are done, I reccomend that you go to FreeWebs.com and open an account. Then upload all of HTML documents and your on your way!

Other Replys:GO TO www.wetpaint.com and it is FREE to!!

Other Replys:Go to www.piczo.com the BEST and EASIEST and FREE place for creating a website! It rocks! At the site, it should tell you everything about how to make it!

Other Replys:www.freewebs.com

its free..and they have many tools to use

you can pay a fee to upgrade and get more features

Other Replys:You can start by going to www.tiptopwebsite.com and get your FREE site. You can add pictures, a great lay out, cool colors, fonts and sounds in less than a minute and have fun doing it too...

***Did I mention it%26#039;s free?***

Other Replys:I don%26#039;t know if it%26#039;ll work, but you can use Yahoo!%26#039;s GeoCities web hosting service.

Other Replys:i too want to create. but i dont know

all these answers will help?

Other Replys:Spiders will create their own web sites.

Other Replys:Maybe you should start with a webblog and move up yo a website. Then you could see how much traffic the blog generates and then move on to a real web site with already having people who know you and what you can do.

But if you want to start with a website , I would suggest first buying a domain name thru Yahoo domain and they can help you set up a website.

But remember a blog is free!

Other Replys:try a site called www.freewebs.com or www.multiply.com. they might help.

Other Replys:by microsoft publisher..:) andif you dont have it buy yahoo sells

Other Replys:First u should know how to make HTML if you are a biggner but its not recommended in most cases (For egsample...virus attacks are likely)

However you have register yourself in hi5.com where you%26#039;ll find some cool links to create your own HTML page. But to do good site and easiest software is DREAMVIEWER and if u know Adobe Photoshop then it would be advantage.

You can buy from yahoo itself when they are offering the domains @ 3 dollars per year. ( My brother bought 3 sites only for 9 dollars) and once you have the domain then look for some free hosting website which is given in the answers of other users for the same question.

For your information below is latest languages to create websites.

.Net

C-Sharp

Old ones are Java, C++ and it follows just like that...

Cheers

Other Replys:I think you should go to Freewebs.com, you can have websites for free......

Other Replys:bravenet.com has free websites...so I suggest you go in there and get one and practice making your website. If you have the money you can have someone put up the website you want. Websites cost money, first to make them, then to maintain them. So I hope you consider how you will make money from that website to keep it running..
