Step1
:Learn webpage design
To
start a web business you should and you must
have a business website of your
own.
Building
a web site and webpage design is not too difficult.If you have an idea
that web page building is the area of hard-core programmers , you are
wrong!!!. I have built this site with my own hands . I have no programming
background except some basics of FortranIV taught in my graduation courses
and that too 15 years a go. So if I can manage to do it, YOU
can do it too.
A
General Idea of HTML:
HTML
stands for Hyper
Text Markup Language.It is more like a formatting language
rather than a programming language.The basic elements used in an HTML
document ( a webpage i.e.) are Tags.Basically, Tags are formatting elements
enclosed in "<" and "/>" and often come in
opening and closing pairs.
This
tags are central to HTML, which is afterall a system of marking up text.
As for example, text that should appear in bold is preceded with opening
tag <B> and closing tag </B>. Like wise, Italic text is
surrounded with <I> and </I> tags.
Next time you are
looking at a webpage, select View -> Source in your
browser. You will see that the document is broken down into a header
followed by the main body of the page.Within the header, is information
about the page itself such as default page color, text and links. The
body contains actual information marked with tags that instruct the
browser how to display the text.
A simple page might
look like this :
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>
My Web page</TITLE>
<meta
name="keywords" content="A,B,C,D">
</HEAD>
<BODY>
Welcome to my web
page... blah blah blah....
</BODY>
</HTML>
I think you have noticed
that a new line is there between head section-"<metaname=..>".
This meta name is not important for web page as a whole but have immense
importance if you want to submit your page to search
engines and want to have a good ranking. I shall discuss this in details
in my Promote section
You will find a good
basic idea of HTML here
Buy a good book on
HTML if you seriously want to build your own website.There are many
in the market..don't go for a costly one.
I myself learnt webpage
design from SAMS

you want to get up to speed with HTML 4 quickly, Sams

ambitious goal. This title sheds all extraneous material and presents
a complete HTML 4 tutorial in 24 hour-long lessons. The first four hours
