Building a website

I really hate coding by hand. I actually have been using Front Page for the last 6 months and I did my own site and also our password protected work site. I am pretty happy with it..

i use photoshop to design the overall look and graphics and dreamweaver to lay out the site in html and insert any code. i love both programs and wouldn't even consider using anything else at this point.

Hey guys,
Thanks for all the advice (would've said so sooner, but had to go to class, don't you know? :bored:) Anyway, I'm getting photoshop, mainly because I do some of my own artwork and wanted to mess around and see what I could come up with by digi-altering. Could you insert pictures done in photoshop using the html format?

Also, you dreamweaver users... you still have to sign up for a domain name and hosting, correct? I've done a little messing around with dreamweaver here in school... I took a class where we had to design our own website for the final project. But it didn't seem like we ever had to sign up for a domain or anything.

I know I'm stupid. :bonk: Have pity on me and my stupid questions!

No matter how you design the site, you always have to buy the domain and pay for hosting.

You upload your pics to the internet, so as long as the image is converted to either gif, or jpeg, you can use images created in photoshop.

Another dumb question: do you have to have a Microsoft Office Suite (Word, blah blah blah) to get FrontPage?

Not that I'm aware of.. it's a standalone application.

This is going to sound super lamo but for those of you who are just starting out and can stand starting simple. (I have to choke this out) You can create a MS Word document and "save as" a web page. That said there are MUCH better tools out there.

I used FrontPage for a while but have moved on to Dreamweaver, good piece of software. I did more free hand html back in the day but anymore its quite obsolete and ineficient manor to procede...it is a definate bonus however to have that basic understanding! My reptile site is nothing outstanding mostly due to the fact that when I actually TRY to have creative thought I come up blank :P

Admin/mod check (please remove if innapropriate):

*not to purposefully plug myself or the services I can offer, but I was telling Daniel yesterday after he mentioned his new site...but can offer hosting (for simple websites) and email services on my webserver (personally built machine, hosted and operated by me, co-located at a local ISP I previously worked for for easy access. -however...i cannot offer to create any websites for you.

I tried using dreamweaver and it wouldn't download on my computer, i must be weird..

Anyways good luck!!!

I use photoshop and dreamweaver for my site. I love my dreamweaver so much. I don't know what I'd do without it. I also have two other sites that I do for others. Been doing it now about 6 years. I use Cheap-DomainRegistration.com for my domains and MySiteSpace.com for my hosting. I spend a total of $60 per year.
Here's some links to the above named places as well as to the sites I did.
