My question is: Where can a person go if he wishes to design his own web page?

Question

I want to create my own web page, but have no idea where to start. I have tried advertising, but no one seems to understand how dedicated I am when it comes to doing what I do!!!

Answer 1

Starting with a blog is a good way to learn web design skills. The advantage of a blog is it's customizable templates and point-and-click publishing that makes web design a breeze.

Try Blogger or Wordpress to get started. Also, take a look at "The Art of Simple Web Design" by Ben Hunt -- It's clean, neat and refreshingly different. Gives you a real education in web design that a lot of the 'conventional' books miss out. There's a free chapter at the site below.

Answer 2

You can build your own customizable web site at www.thevillage.com. It's easy to use and has lots of features that you can turn on/off as you need them. Best of all, it's free!

Answer 3

The easiest way for a novice to build a web site is to start with a web template. Web Templates can be customized and you can use the layout but swap the graphics etc.... this will get you comfortable with basic HTML design and an HTML editor (like Dreamweaver).

Here are some resources for free or inexpensive templates that are easy to edit and manage.

Webmaster Templates - http://www.webmaster-templates.net

Free Web Templates - http://www.freewebtemplates.com/

Web Design Elements - http://www.webdesign-elements.com

Free Website Templates - http://www.freewebsitetemplates.com/

Free Layouts - http://www.freelayouts.com/

Free Templates Online - http://www.freetemplatesonline.com

HTML website templates can significantly ease the burden of designing and creating websites by providing webmasters with a ready-made web layout, structure, basic graphics, and color scheme.

The templates can generally be edited and customized with any HTML editor. The biggest advantage for webmasters using ready-made templates is the amount of time that can be saved.
