I must make a basic website for someone for publicity and i'm wondering tools are the best for that under linux?

Also does anyone know where i could find a basic template for that site ?
 
Developing website on Linux involves writting things in a text editor like Notepad++(think a friend told me he using it on his Ubuntu PC).
There are a lot of template websites out there just search in google and a lot of template are there to buy or download for free.
 
Leodigo if this is your first time making a website that means you don't know .html
If you know nothing about creating websites and you think getting into it, i would recommend watching or reading .html tutorials which is the basis of creating websites.
Then you can start learning other stuff like .css(cascade style sheets) which control the way your website looks.
There are many tools that can get the job for you. I would recommend getting Windows and getting something like Dreamweaver(incoming flaming from people using notepad here).
Dreamweaver can act as a tutorial by itself allowing you to see the changes within the code when creating or changing aspects of your website.
Later on if you want something more advanced(database driven website), you can try learning one of the following php, asp, or ColdFusion but i believe that php is the way to go.
 
NVU, bluefish, Komposer, a text editor

Anything that can create text is fine, the others just have nicer (quicker) ways of tags and formatting.
 
ok thanks guys, think im going to try Eclipse as it's the one i know the best ! Didn't think about writing html with it!

I'm a bit rusty with html and i'm really bad at making design(absolutely no photoshop skill) and layout do you guys have any tips to make not too noobish looking website?
 
Yeah, Google some free templates instead and then just rewrite the code for whatever you want to change. No point re-inventing the wheel unnecessarily so.
