Web Design Beginner

You know the “Write your Legislator” campaign websites that allow someone to simply click a button to send a pre-written letter to an editor or legislator? I’m trying to find a website that lets you create your own campaign for free. I found one almost a year ago, but subsequent searches turn up nothing.

I just need to know how to get a website started. I want to make a fan site for a new band. I know that I have to pay for a domain, but I’m confused about how to purchase & build a website. Help please? Thanks in advance! (:

I’ve got a little online business that hasn’t taken off yet, & I need a good free website design program I can use since I’m not so technical.

To create a website for a small business

Webdesign can be a lot of fun to learn, however it’s very time consuming. Different professionals go different directions… Linux based & Windows Based.
Linux is more of CGI, Python, Perl
Windows is more ASP, ASP.NET, .NET (which is how I design all my websites.. if it’s good enough for companies like Jaguar, it’s good enough for me)
There is also software.
You can learn stuff like FrontPage, Coolpage, LiquidFX, & you can be ridiculed by professionals.
Or you can use the industry standard which is Dreamweaver. It’s the best, hand’s down. Anyone whose been in the business on a professional level will tell you to go with Dreamweaver.
You need to know basic photo editing.
Fireworks, Photoshop, JASC & Corel, all provide great photoediting software. JASC for it’s money ($99) will work just fine for basic web editing.
So, from my standpoint if you know the following setup, people will be crawling to you…
ASP.NET
ASP 3.0
HTML 4.0
CGI / PERL
Python
Photoshop CS2
Dreamweaver 8

For a program in school we have to find out the competition for our business. This is something like a survey. No right or wrong answer.

I am new to web design & have to create a website for me & my local organization but do not know how or where to begin. I do have MS Frontpage 2003, but it is rather difficult to do what I want to do. I am very comfortable using PowerPoint & MS Word, & want to know if there is web design software out there that works similarly to MS PP. What other software out there will let me work as effortlessly as PowerPoint does when I create my website?
Thank you.

I know that there are places like Microsoft that allow you to create a free webpage, not having to pay for the domain name or to put it on their servers (which can be easily $30 per month I think!). Is there any downside to using Microsoft? Any limitations? Am I allowed to start an affiliate website using a free option from them or is that against some rule? Any & all suggestions welcome!

I’m thinking it might be “creación de sitio web” for website creation but I’m not sure. Does anyone (specifically, a native Spanish speaker) know how to say “Website Design”?

I would like to create a website for my mother’s spa business which specializes in beauty & what not. I was hoping someone may be able to help me w/ this. I think starting from scratch may be the option that appeals to me the most.
IF POSSIBLE I WOULD LIKE IT TO BE FREE

think its something i would like to do, but have no qualifications it the I.T department & would have to pretty much start from scratch on this topic!

Could you name me sites, cheap or free online classes, books, & forums on html. I guess I will learn the other languages later, but I’m doing this more as a hobby. I don’t feel like going to a community college to learn this stuff, maybe an adult education center though. Could you also recommend other languages that I could learn to be a good amateur web designer? I also want to build my own website.

I want to create a website for uploading on net & to earn money after posting ads on the same.

My friend & I are interested in started a small business & we’d like to create a website but we DO not want to use sites such as free webs.
We want our own url. please help, how do we go about doing this?

I did a couple of “unofficial” (read: under the table) freelance web design gigs when I was unemployed. Now I have a new full-time job, but it’s not in the web design field. And I think it would be a nice way to earn some extra cash on occassion.
How would I go about being officially recognized as a freelance web designer? Would I need to essentially start a business to get a vendor number, or something like that?
Please, only answer if you actually have a clue about this sort of thing.

I am a writer who wants to create a website where I can write plays for churches to fit their individual needs. Does anybody know of a good free website service where I can start this business?
