Four Ways To Build A Website

 

 
Hand Edit -  (Very Advanced - HTML knowledge and Website design needed)
 
You can build a Website using just a text editor like Microsoft's Notepad. This was how Websites were created in the beginning. Before all the programs to make it a lot easier to do.

When people started creating Websites long ago they had to learn a language called HTML (Hypertext Markup Language). When you view a web page what you see is really not the whole picture. Your web browser is programmed to read HTML code and translate the coding into what you see on the screen. If you typed this code into a text editor and opened it in your web browser it would look like this: Click Here To See Demo

HTML uses Tags in the code to process information. Example, notice the <p> in the code. This is a tag telling the browser "new paragraph". The text in this paragraph continues until the tag end of </p>

You can also see that to design a Website, especially a complicated one, is a huge task by hand. Here is the really GOOD NEWS! You do not have to learn HTML to create a great Website! More on this when we discuss our Website Builder - Website Tonight.

 
WYSIWYG Website Editors - (WYSIWYG  - Pronounced wzi wig - , an acronym for "What You See Is What You Get ")
A WYSIWYG Website builder is software that you can purchase to build your Web pages. It allows you to add your content, images and everything else you want  to your Web page with just as much flexibility as hand coding. A Website Editor makes it a LOT easier as you can see the page as you design (WYSIWYG). Website building software can range from easy to more advanced, cheap to expensive. The most popular Website Editor programs are FrontPage from Microsoft  and Dreamweaver from Adobe.

Can a person start off using these editors even if they have no experience? Yes they can! However, there is a learning curve and in the beginning sometimes many hours of frustration to develop your site. Microsoft does offer free online training for FrontPage.

These are also great tools if you will be adding PHP, ASP and other Server Side applications to your site. This allows the advanced Website designers to develop sites that need special features like databases and such.

The down side is that these programs are usually Websites built by beginners. Beginners using these programs take a long time to develop their site and they do not look professional. In short, these are great ways to build a Website, but require a knowledge of Website design and some knowledge of HTML.
