ross549 1,256 Posted November 13, 2003 Share Posted November 13, 2003 One of the best ways (IMO) of learning HTML basics is having someone installa CMS (content management system) on your host, and that way you have a fully functional site. Then you can play with HTML goodies within announcments, user created pages and such, and still have your site operational. Link to post Share on other sites

SonicDragon 0 Posted November 13, 2003 Share Posted November 13, 2003 My best adice for people new to web design, is to learn the actually HTML. It's really not that hard. Once you know it, you'll be so glad you do!For a great HTML editor, HTML-Kit.My favorite site to learn HTML is LissaExplains.com, but there are TONS of sites out there.Once you've got HTML down, go for CSS!!!

Temmu 1,931 Posted December 13, 2003 Share Posted December 13, 2003 Here's the scoop, straight from the horse's mouth:From the W3C (the arbitrators of the web...) there's a lot more than what's listed below at the W3C site... just browsing the topics will give you an idea of the technologies available to produce web pages.Cascading Style Sheet Editors (list of)List of CSS Tutorials / BooksNice (very unique) CSS SamplesCSS-Validator (Downloadable Utility)HTML 4.01 how to - you'll have to read a bunch to navigate through this, but scroll down and you'll see what you're looking for.

SonicDragon 0 Posted December 13, 2003 Share Posted December 13, 2003 IMO, the best text editor around, supports publishing to FTP, syntax highlighting, and more:Crimson Editor - http://www.crimsoneditor.com/ I've also used Crimson Editor and would recommend it I like it because it is simple and doesn't really have the tools found in other editors like HTML-Kit etc.Editors like HTML-Kit are great for webdesign, I like Crimson editor for other languages like Perl etc. Link to post Share on other sites

cantthinkofanickname 0 Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 (edited) Nowadays a website is usually interactive to some extent and requires a database. So if you're not a PHP programmer install a CMS. I use Joomla! but I think for choice Drupal may be a close 2nd. MHOFWIW.If you make websites do consider accessibility. Google "accessible websites" to research this subject. Edited April 25, 2008 by cantthinkofanickname Link to post Share on other sites
teacher 2 Posted April 25, 2008 Author Share Posted April 25, 2008 Can'tIt's been just a bit of a time since this thread was last visited. We are now using Moodle to set up our academic web sites. We will be offering much of our course offerings next year based upon Moodle. Moodle is open source to boot. We sure prefer it to Drupal around my area. Link to post Share on other sites
