Beginners

There are so many e-books or book available which gives information on how to learn HTML. But it becomes very difficult to choose the best for you.

One of the best beginners’ resources which I have come across is the Kevin Bones Guide to HTML.  It has everything what you need to know in HTML. It explains all the topics and in many different languages. Web Adventure also offers you with an exciting way to learn HTML and is also a good way to start. The Web Diner also has a lot of easy to use information.

If you don’t want to learn the complete HTML and least interested in writing the language and want to get your Web page up ASAP then Dave Kristula’s How to Start Your Website tutorial is a good place to start with. The tutorial teaches you how to save the files and get them to a website and also how to get rid of the common errors and even more. Joe Barta, So You Want to Write a Web Page, is also a good tutorial. In this tutorial the author teaches in a humorous, six parts lessons and takes us on a ride on how to create a Web page step by step.

Next Level

Once the website is up and running you might think of bringing a change to your site and plan to improve it. But improving a website is often a personal thing because what one person think is good might turn out to be exactly opposite for another person. However, there are few basic principles which need to be followed to make the website universally accepted and more pleasing. To find out the quality of your site is to apply for awards this is one of the best ways to find the value of your website or you can also get your website reviewed. However, the best way to improve your own site is to understand what you think about it and what can be implemented to make it look better.

JavaScript has become common with the Web Developers as it will add excitement and interest in their Web pages. There are many online JavaScript Guides available on net which has lot of information like how to add JavaScript in the Web pages, how to detect the browser and it also talks about what you have to do next once you have the information with you. One of the most common and popular effects of JavaScript is the mouse “rollover”, however it is difficult to do it with text in Netscape as well as IE browser. You can find an excellent article on Webreference on how to get the rollovers text work in both the browsers.

If you don’t want to get carried away with those fancy tricks and want to have a simple and well designed Web page then Neon Design Tips will provide you with the right information what you are looking for. This explains you about the affects the layout can have and how people think of your site, apart from this it also covers leading headers and fonts in good design. Dmitry Kirsanov also writes articles on Webreference.com and few of his most popular articles is “the least hackneyed” which talks about how to use the colors to make the pages look unique. Apart from this there are many more tutorials available on the net which will provide you with the information on how to make your Web pages look more attractive and appealing.

Whether you want to start an online business or want to create a personal Webpage, it is very easy to start a website; you don’t have to invest any huge amount of money and there is no need for you to start by purchasing an expensive web design software package or a space on the web server to host your site.

Here is a small walk through over the tools and skills you need to start your own website.

• First and foremost you need access to a computer.
• Have access to the internet as well.
• You should have basic computer skills like creating a simple word document.
• You should know how to use any text editor like Microsoft Word or a notepad.
• You need a Web page or any other HTML editor.
• Basic knowledge of HTML and the website terms

Technical Skills

There is no rocket science involved in the web design technologies. It is very easy to learn them. You need very little technical knowledge so much so that an average person can also create a personal Webpage.

On the contrary, you don’t have to be an electrician to wire a plug or a fashion designer to fix a button. That is the technical level you need to be able to use HTML and any other web technologies.

Basic Start

Start a website with something small and do it slowly. Don’t expect to become an expert after a week. You don’t even have to spend all your time ready by buying those e-books or regular books.

Once you know how to start you can proceed by starting with the basics and building step by step. Learn only what you need to move ahead on to the next step.

It is essential for you to know understand the common terms so that you will be able to distinguish between a website and a web server. Do not confuse yourself with the terminology.

Once you are convinced that you can create your own Webpage and know how to link them together you are all set to create your own Webpage.

Persistence

If you know the basics then starting a website isn’t difficult. All it needs is enough time, effort and above all persistence. Website cannot be created in a day or not even in a week. You need months to create a complete website and a constant updating of the site.
