Making Website

[LeoN88]

Hi there. I've been asked by my dad to make a website for his company i have only had a little play with html using notepad i think was a long time ago so cant really remember!? but found it not the easiest thing in the world.

Ive been prompted by someone though to use dreamweaver as it is cheap and easy to use. But what other software out there is even better than this and as cheap or cheaper? or is this the only one to really go for? Thanks for your help

well he doesnt mind paying for software i found dreamweaver for nearly 400! where is it for 250 he would be even more happy seeing it for that! But i would be doin all of it the editing and maintenance of the site as he's not exactly a computer man..

aswell as a website for your dad is this also a project for you to learn website building skills? or is this just like your dad wanting a website and as you learnt a tiny bit as say school he thought your now a genious at it.

I have been in full employment for a few years now working for my father and i discussed with him about having a website and so i proposed the idea of me trying to make it myself, as to get a website built as u may well know can be very expensive. And no i didnt learn a thing at school in I.T. as the teachers were useless. . .

well if thats the case i have no prolbem in making the site the site for the dad 100% free, only cost would be hosting and domain name though if thats a problem both can be got for free. I odn't really like to discourage people learning new skills espcially if this is a career move from you but if this is just a 1 off, never going back to it sort of thing i'm here to help, plus i've been doing so much javascript latelly would be nice to get back to html for a bit plus i can use all my fancy new skills on something.

Let me know what you think Leon88. email should be in trust and if not it's addy_020@ hotmail.com

Well for me it will be a 1 off thing my sister once made a little site over the summer for herself using the dreamweaver (she doesn't have a copy otherwise would use it.) and it didnt look to bad i have to say. Its not goin to be a rush sort of project as there is no deadline as such and i would like it to look just right and like you said not to look un professional i should be gettin dreamweaver within the next couple of days or so. It will be a thing to do when i have the time as work at the moment is so busy But i will keep updates here and if i have any problems hopefully some of you guys may be of some assistance! if not then im stuffed
