Kaftan Barlast Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 I was just minding my own bussiness, enjoying K2 when suddenly my dad bursts in and declares that he has bought a domain and it is now my task to build a website for his company. If this had been 1997 I would have said "Shure, be done in a week!" but time has run away from my meager skills, far away too. I havent got a clue about anything beyond regular HTML I could make something prehistoric using wordpad but I have a feeling that wont be good enough so Im asking if anyones got any tips of freeware programs or stuff that I can use? Preferably something that uses alot of templates.

If there is no clear indication, asume the post is written in jest. This notification is meant very seriously and its purpouse is to avoid misunderstandings and the consequences thereof. Furthermore; I can not be held accountable for anything I write on these forums since the idea of taking serious responsability for my unserious actions, is an oxymoron in itself.

Hydrogen Posted February 26, 2005 Share Posted February 26, 2005 most hardcore web guru's that I know still use notepad to do most of their stuff, then they take it into a more expensive program when they are adding things like flash or slideshows, etc. I suggest working with your meagar skills first, check out some websites that have more codes than what you are use to. www.w3schools.com is a good place to get some tutorials on building websites.

Oerwinde Posted February 26, 2005 Share Posted February 26, 2005 I used Frontpage for mine. You can do all sorts of stuff much faster than coding it, and if you find any code you want to implement manually just switch to HTML mode and it has a basic text editor. Then I realized that my website didn't have the content that justified all the work I was putting into it so I just switched over to Blogger because updating with that is real easy.

Hydrogen Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 Frontpage isn't freeware to the best of my knowledge. The other option for getting software is to check for places that provide academic prices on software. IF you are using them just for learning, then everything is fine. IF you are planning on using it to make money on the other hand, is a bigger problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amentep Posted March 5, 2005 Share Posted March 5, 2005 I really like the htmlgoodies website (I use it all the time). Although not wild about the recent redesign... EDIT: Guess I should be a bit more helpful...so here it is. I still think for most webpages, basic HTML is good enough for what you need. So if you have a good enough memory of the html basics, you should be okay. Of course, if you're expected to create something fancier... I cannot - yet I must. How do you calculate that? At what point on the graph do "must" and "cannot" meet? Yet I must - but I cannot! ~ Ro-Man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can pretty much do a good website simply by using tables and have some half decent skills in photoshop. I can make a website using notepad, as I know html okay. In fact most of the time I just type the code in myself rather than use the programs I do have at my disposal. And for most webpages, IMO, a lot of bells and whistles and javascript and flash movies and junk is too much. I cannot - yet I must. How do you calculate that?

Kaftan Barlast Posted March 5, 2005 Author Share Posted March 5, 2005 I just realised that Ill need somekind of Image Gallery program-thingie to effectively handle my online art gallery(I dont want to make thumbnails etc. by hand for hundreds of images).

Really easy to set up and such. Mine is just one of the standard templates with an image map jammed in the top and an expanded sidebar.
