Hay guys,

So would appreciate any input on this because I've never made one before, I got to make a website.

My current plan is thus

Get dreamweaver,

Youtube, dreamweaver.

Keepin it simple,

Thrown a few together in the past. Tended to use coffeeshop and do a lot of the DHTML code by hand, rather than drag and drop elements malarky. But would be easier to use Dreamweaver or similar. I just liked the hard way.

Not sure what you mean by Youtube? You mean embed vids on your site?

Feel free to ask if you need guidance on anything, I may have the time to help!

You gonna host it at home or co-lo? Any plans for webserver flavour (Apache/IIS...)?

I was just going to watch tutorials for dreamwever on youtube.

Thanks mate I'll probably ask questions when I've aquired dreamwever,

I have a server at uni that I can use or, may buy hosting space, not really thought to much yet.

Cool no worries mate - hosting for free at uni sounds good - prolly got quite decent pipe too.

Yea Youtube is full of tutorials, go for it

Any Qs can PM me

Yeah Uni pipes are massive, good quality hosting there, if not you can holla my way i got a box running WHM/cPanel for full administration...

Also dreamweavers really nice, i made a sweet simple yet professional site based on the template it come with...
Try your luck, i've made many many websites but these days i tend to steal from Template Monster then alter it (especially colours) so its undistinguishable ...

When you want a dynamic page meaning it does things and performs actions, youl need php..

Create a file call it phpinf.php and type this;

<?php phpinfo(); ?>

Save it/close and upload.. Visit the page through your browser if it loads up with a bunch of jargon then your pretty much all set for all sorts of sites such as shopping carts and what have you. Its PHP driven sites that drive financial gains for the massive internet population..

Hope that helps

Cheers!

HTML, PHP and a tiny bit of CSS mate.

That or get a package such as mango or the the like and it'll do it for you you just come up with a template.
