Easiest way to design a full web site?

I don't like web design, but I can't seem to avoid it, unless I want to pay someone else a ton of money to do it for me. It's just so complicated and confusing. What's the easiest way for a dope to create a website? Not just the front page, but additional pages as well.

Easiest way to design a full web site?
You must know HTML; it is a web scripting language. If you want to learn HTML visit www.w3schools.com Then you write your code and save them in your computer and then you have to buy a domain like www.yourname.com and also a server space to upload and save your file(s) in there internet.





There are many free hosting services available on internet. But no free domain name registrars. (visit www.blazonhosting.com and check the prices. It is about US$9 -10)





If you do not know HTML , there are many programs with graphical user interface.(Dreamwever, Frontpage) They let you to drag and drop your items within the page and it will automatically generate the HTML code for you.





If you want more details contact. I m a webmaster too...

Reply:If you are just trying to get a grip on web designing then i suggest you take a look at a few existing sites that have similar quantity of content like the web site you are designing.





Choose one of them and take a screenshot of it by hitting Print Screen(PrtScr) on your keyboard. Its somewhere next to the F12 key on your keyboard assuming you are not on a laptop.





Now open Photoshop and Ctrl+N. Leave the settings as it is and click OK.





Then Ctrl+V





You have the site that you want to use as inspiration on the canvass.





Before assuming that I m asking you to copy a site straight off, please understand I m just suggesting you a technique that subconsciously helps you into creating your own well designed sites.





In this case we ll only use the layout AS IT IS. So if you are using a site like www.yahoo.com then you d only take the layout as a layout for your site. Which means, you will have a wide header under which there are 3 columns with





-the first one for the vertical list of menus like 360 degrees, Answers, Autos, Chat etc.


-second for tabbed content


-and third for interactive menus for Mail Messenger Radio etc.





These 3 columns are followed by the footer area for more links and copyright statement.





Now what YOU do is:


1. Ctrl+R (activates the rulers)


2. Press V on your keyboard to activate the Select tool


3. Drag out guides from the ruler to the canvas and divide the canvass based on the image we grabbed from Yahoo


4. Now your guides should be having clearly divided areas.


5. Create new layers for every section of the division (Header, 3 Column and Footer


6. The content of these new layers should be stuff that YOU make, remembering to put text where there was text in the screenshot and images or buttons where there were buttons in the screenshot.


7. The images you put there, which include, the logo, the buttons and the pictures, should be YOURS, they should cover the Yahoo screenshot.


8. Now if u make the Yahoo screenshot invisible, you can only see your stuff. Believe it or not, IT WILL LOOK GOOD and WONT LOOK LIKE YAHOO.





Why? Because you used a layout of a site which was carefully designed. You put your own graphics and images. There are many sites that teach u to make buttons which is easy to find.





Just to make the above site a bit more better. Take an image from your hard drive(any good image that you like for its colors) and take some time to select its main colors. Note them down and maybe have 3 to 4 main colors from your fav image and use these 3 to 4 colors ONLY to create the color combination for your site.





The example I mention here is not asking you to RIP OFF a site, its just suggesting you to take the layout of the site. If you substitute Yahoo with some other better designed site, the results will be awesome and the site wont look the same as the colors AND the images and logo will be DIFFERENT.





All this will help you understand that the layout of a site is possibly one of the greatest contributor to a wonderfully designed website. As you move on making sites like this, you ll have a subconscious understanding of great layouts and then you wont need screenshots.





The site that you use as a guide for your own design will also provide a guide to the rest of the pages.
