Your First HTML Page

O.K. you will buy the book later... but why not try something very simple right now?

1. Open your Notepad (Start>Programs>Accessories>Notepad)

2. Copy the HTML code written below.Make your modifications between * marks.

3.Save the file as .htm or .html extension. ( i.e. mypage.htm)

4.Open it with your browser.

Yes.. Writing a web page is easy but it becomes laborious and difficult to

write when your site becomes more and more complicated . WYSIWYG (What

You See Is What You Get) tools are there to help you. They are simple and easy

to use.They have an interface like Microsoft Word.. you just type on it, insert

picture etc. and the software will make the HTML code for you.

Initially I tried my hand with notepad to make web pages..but it took much time and I

found it increasingly difficult to manipulate images to make a professional looking site.

So I started using such WYSIWYG tools.Believe me, it is easy if you get accustomed to it .

There are many such softwares in the market , probably Macromedia

Dreamweaver 4.0 is the best of all and the choice of both professionals and

amateur webpage makers.Dreamweaver has possibly one of the easiest interfaces

that you could ask for in a webdesign program. I have been using DW

since version 3 came out and i have not had one complaint about it.

Other such WYSIWYG tools are Microsoft Frontpage,AllaireHomesite,

Hotmetal etc.

Though these tools are a bit costly, it is a good investment if you want to

make your site professional looking and seriously want to promote your

product through your home page.

But remember.. having a basic knowledge of HTML is a MUST and it will

help you in many ways to manually alter the code generated by these

softwares.The book I suggested -SAMS teach tourself HTML4 IN 24 Hrs

is enough for that purpose.

 

Site Build It!,another fast-selling product from SiteSell, is the ultimate site-building tool. It makes it easy for you to create your own web site simply and easily, even if you have no technical knowledge at all. It analyzes which themes will be profitable. Even better, it helps you optimize the pages for the main search engines and turns promoting it into a push-button task.
