Bubba Bob Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 All you need to know to build a decent looking website is HTML and CSS.Go to the book store and buy "The Missing Manual HTML" and "The Missing Manual CSS". IMO these are the BEST guides out. They assume you know nothing and go from there with very easy to follow lessons. You need to learn HTML for a good foundation, then move onto CSS. Next google and download "NVU". It seems to be the preferred, freeware HTML editing tool.Goodluck Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Falcon1986 Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 (edited) A great site to learn the basics is W3Schools.Other free WYSIWYG editors inclue KompoZer, Aptana and Amaya. However, if you are really interested in getting down to the coding level, then nothing beats a good text editor. Some great ones are HTML-Kit, Notepad++ Notepad2 and PSPad.

WilliamS Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 You could always install wordpress or Graffiti cms or some form of CMS website first. Then work on building your themes and such. Gives you a working website without starting from scratch. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
