Building a Web Site

[Ikith]

Bluefish or Kompozer

What kind of content is going to be on the site? If it's just words, photos, links, youtube videos, just use http://www.blogspot.com, register a blog, pick a template, use domain forwarding for the site you purchased to point to your blogspot page. If you want a more complex website, go with coding straight HTML or use dreamweaver.

Was going to say: Adobe Flash + CS3 till I read "will not buy/torrent" bs. Anyways, basic html was cool in the dark ages, not anymore unless it's for learning basic stuff. Good luck! ('-')/

Photoshop CS3 and a little bit of DW thrown in on the side.

Notepad++

Raw and clean HTML is the way to go. Make sure all of your tags are nested properly.

I will not buy anything....but I won't not torrent.

read it again. And yea, HTML is really easy to learn, if you're 100% new to any type of coding(scripting) you can pick HTML up in a week, and a decent CSS system in another. If you do go with the dreamweaver route don't use the designer, if anything do split screen and do everything with code and watch what it does on your page, don't use their silly design stuff that in my honest opinion fucks up stuff more then it helps.

Also, if you want just a really simple 20 second web page you can always do what I do and install drupal on your webserver and work from there.

How good is dreamweaver with CSS, dynamic html, scripting, embedded objects, and such anyway? Never used it.

Dreamweaver is very nice but it's got lots of options most people will never use. Also I don't like how it handles divs in design mode but asides from that its the industry standard for a good reason.

Is there a code I can use so it checks the user's resolution and changes it automatically w/o messing with the %?

Edit: Nvm, I found it ;x

<script>
if (screen.height<750) {
	document.getElementById('main').style.height=800;
}
</script>
