Learning web design
« on: November 07, 2003, 05:39 »
I want to learn howto create a grade a website as quickly as possible. html, php, java i don't really mind which. Im rather lazy thats why im asking some fine foreign people what they would do to achieve this goal. I do have Dreamweaver MX installed if it makes a difference, although i have no idea how to use it.

Links to various howto or even ftp links to personal pdf manuals wouldn't be ignored.

Haven't time to look for you now Bob (just getting ready for work), but I'm sure if you type "How To Create A Website" into Google, something useful will come up.

yep ive found a couple of websites along these lines in google before but like i said im fairly lazy and who knows one of you might have a 21 day pdf or something like that, i thought it was worth asking.

Besides what Website Creation Catagory wouldn't be complete without howto tutorials and links.

It's a little unfortunate that we don't have many (any?) professional web designers among our members (apologies if you are reading this, and are one!).  I do know that Dreamweaver is not exactly the simplest application to get to grips with if you are just starting out.  I believe Microsoft Frontpage is a little more straightforward, if you have access to it, Bob.

Who knows, you could soon become our web designer guru!   :D :D

No idea really rodders I just want to see if I can do it. Probably make it just a personal one with interests on, some pics and jokes, that sorta stuff and of course a plug for pc-pals.

Rule 1.  Make it different to everyone else's

Rule 2.  Identify what your site does best and focus on that

Rule 3.  Don't pass wind at the dinner table


Hope this helps.   ;)

I'll take a look at it then.  The one I'm using at the moment uses Java so that may be much better.
