I mainly use HTML code and CSS on sites such as Dreamweaver. But with WordPress themes this somewhat negates the need to learn it in such depth and comprehension, although it is still good to.

I’ve used dreamweaver, joomla, wordpress, frontpage… a lot of different programs. Now, I stick mostly to wordpress. For niche sites and very simple sites I use… dare I say it… blogger. I just slap on a simple blogger blog and get going. Always better than not putting up anything at all.

This is a suggestion for very new people to internet business who would like to start a small business from their home.

I learned HTML and PHP and use Komodo or Eclupse. However, I changed the approach while working on my last web site. I use a system called Site Sell. It not only gives you step by step guide on how to build an internet business – rather than just a web site – it gives you all the tools to do it. It might look like a step backward for those who know HTML, CSS, PHP, SQL… I don’t know how about you, but I want to build an online business, not just a web site.

PS: I also use Paint Shop 5 and Easy Thumbnails for my various index pages. I recently was forced to switch to a paid host as I discovering Geocities was going to close down their free space services that I had been using for the past ten years. I also use my own templates for the top and bottom of all of my designs.

I first learnt the computer in ’85 from my 13 year old son on a commodore 64 computer and became interested in the Infocom text adventure games. For the past then years I have self taught myself HTML using Notepad and even though I have looked at Dreamweaver etc. I still prefer to work on my website for greeting cards with what I feel works for me.

I use Photoshop to design the site, then I slice/code it it into parts that are all calibrated to work with all browsers, resolutions and relative operating systems (I use notepad++ as my html editor, I never do it visually).

I learned about half of the languages on w3schools.com (still learning , W3C is a great place for people of any coding skill level to start learning/learn more coding languages.

I’m interested to hear about what other g33ks use…?

Depends on what type of site, a blog is quick to setup. I hate using templates, but that works for some people. More of the brute force programmer, starting everything from scratch and build from there, hehe, that takes a long time though.

I use a lot of e-books, and various online resources, like w3schools..
A little knowledge of programming and coding is also essential..

There is a great eBook called Create Your First Website by 3:45 this Afternoon, by a guy called Chris Farrell, which is free.

It helped me out lots.

You can get it here http://www.chrisfarrell-online.com or just Google it.

I taught myself HTML with Notepad and for the past ten years have gradually developed my website using 21 addresses from Geocities and angelfire. I am a non-profit, retired person. My daughter wants me to add my own domain name to her website space and transfer all of my pages to one site. She is experienced in doing business websites using Dreamweaver CSS etc. which I can’t grasp. I would like to make the change and get rid of the disadvantages related to using their free sevices but don’t know where to start. I have never seen how I could use CSS with what I do, so I feel that I would need to go to every individual page to update it etc. Am I right? Also I would need to learn an FTP programme? My biggest problem is that as much as I love my daughter we don’t work well together. We’re both Aries. I’m aware because I use so many sites (keep expecting them to slap me on the wrist) that the is a lot of repetition of basic graphics that wouldn’t be needed if done as one large website. I’m what I call a trial and error person. Can anybody send me a step by step tutorial on basically what I would need to do.

When I first started out I knew absolutely nothing about building a website, so I built all my sites with GoDaddy’s Website Tonight software. But, now I’m converting them all using XSitePro, and building new sites with XSitePro.

I use WordPress for some of my blogs, as well as have a few Blogger blogs, and a few from GoDaddy’s Blogcast that are attached to some of my GoDaddy Website Tonight sites.

I absolutely love XSitePro. It’s so easy and fast, compared to online web builders.

I used a very excellent software called SiteSpinner, by VirtualMechanics. Until I moved to MAC more than a year ago. I wish I knew 10 years ago how superior is MAC to windoz…
Nevertheless, SiteSpinner is a feature rich WYSIWYG. Real joy to use and highly recommend it.
On MAC I use iWeb which is part of iLife package included with every MAC or iMac you buy. There is RapidWeaver, another excellent choice, and a few more.

I usually lay out my interface ideas in Illustrator, then boil that down to background + foreground. I create the background image and separate foreground elements.

Next, I’ll incorporate all of the elements together via handcoded HTML + CSS, this is where I tweak and adjust. Final step: add content and upload.

It depends.

For my blog, I use WordPress – it’s free, it’s easy, it’s got tons of themes and, most importantly, it gets the job done.

For my clients, I use Photoshop (for graphics) and Dreamweaver for website assembly. I am very much so self-taught, so while my first few months with Dreamweaver were a real pain, I seem to have gotten the hang of it for the most part.

Now if I only I could finally figure out what makes tables break in IE 7.0 and Firefox…
