I want to build a website from scratch, having never done this before i havent a clue how to start, so any idiots (yes, in this field i am one) guides out there?

I have frontpage2002 trial on my PC for 30 days, i have an unlimited webspace acount, i just need to know how to use it now! LOL

 

Fairly useful site to start you with John:

But I would strongly suggest you don't bother with FrontPage until you have the basics. Use Notepad, it is the only way to fly.

cheers ian

All i want to do initially is get a load of pictures and videos up so need a basic intro page then a page with the pics/videos on.

I'll take it from there then.

 

I would never use frontpage!
If you are writting HTML then i would use textpad http://www.textpad.com Its free to download as well, oh sorry 30 day trial

You might find use for this as well

Chaps - John just wants a basic website setting up, not an all conquering Macromedia Site of the Day type thing.

John - use FrontPage, it isn't great for professional use, but it is more than handy for what you need. Visit webmonkey.com for tips and advice, and coolhomepages.com for inspiration.

If you look at my second link you will see it is for webmonkey!
If john ever wants to understand the smallest bit of HTML front-page is trash and not the way to do it. Nobody has said he wants to make a conquering Macromedia Site of the Day that’s what u have said. Just my opinion

 

of course someone out there could make me a basic front page and show me how to put up thumbnails that link to the main pictures/videos.

i dont have time at the moment to learn this stuff properly, but i am good at disecting what has been built and then making changes later.

anyone fancy knocking me something up for a small fee?
