Introduction to making a website
The first steps on how to make a website
Hello and Welcome to our HTML tutorial site for creating a website.
Over the next few pages we will aim to teach you how to make a website with limited or no programming
knowledge.
Even with a little or no programming experience by reading through these tutorials you will create cool
looking websites that you will be proud of.
Following these website tutorials step by step you will be shown the easiest ways to design and build
your own website in a very short space of time. As you progress further into the tutorials you will learn
more tips of the webmasters trade showing you how to add more complicated features to your website.
What language is used for making websites
Websites are normally written in a language called HTML (among others) and this is where we will start. We will show you the basics of HTML and how this very simple language is structured. Before this tutorial is over you will have made your first webpage and have seen how easy it really is to build your website.
What do you need to start making a website
Taking for granted you already have a PC and internet connection (how else would you be here!)
To get started all you will need is a simple text editor or HTML editing software and a little time.
It really is that simple!
Your HTML website can be designed, developed and tested on your PC at home and without the need of
an internet connection until you are totally satisfied with the results. After you can upload it to
a webserver with your own domain name.
Everything we have mentioned so far can be found free, although we do not recommend in the long run
to go with the free web services, but initially they can be good to test your site, before you want
to make a financial commitment.
