Select the software building your websites
First of all , you will need to choose the software you are going to use to build your web site. Based on your level of experience and ambitions there are three methods for you to build your website:
HTML editor
Web building software (aka WYSIWYG)
Web builder templates
Manually code your site using an HTML editor
Hand coding undoubtedly requires at least a basic skills of HTML but benefits from being by far the most flexible option. Although slower to get going than the other two methods, the long term benefits include a greater knowing on how web pages are built and the ability to apply that to your own.
Examples:
Adobe Dreamweaver
Microsoft Expression Web
Notepad++ (free)
Although you will be confronted with a empty page when you first start that doesn’t mean you need to create all the things yourself from scratch. There are so many free resources online(templates, images, scripts...) for you to use that the challenge will be going through them all.
Use WYSIWYG software
What You See Is What You Get software uses the same concepts as a desk top ublisher
and allows you to build a website pointing and clicking with no coding required. They work by generating the HTML/ CSS in line with your design on screen with the added benefit of letting you then dip in and manually change the code.
Examples:
Serif WebPlus
Evrsoft.com
Website builder templates
A lot of web hosts provide these with shared hosting accounts or as stand alone products. They require no coding skills (in fact most don’t enable you make any manual changes at all). The templates are preset and all you have to do is make some colour/ image selections, add your content and click 'publish’. Although very quick to start and finish and finish a site, the quality of the results are questionable.

Beginning steps with the code
What is server-side coding and client-side coding?
When a visitor arrives on your site and the web page is displayed on their browser quite a lot has gone on behind the scenes to make this happen. A couple of terms you may come acrossare 'client side coding’ and 'server sidecoding’.
Client side code (which covers HTML,CSS and JavaScript) is script executed by the user’s web browser where as server side coding (which covers PHP& MySQL, Perl and ASP/ ASP.NET) is script first executed by the server before being displayed to the visitor.
Client-side
A web page has three layers which you build up as the site progresses. First you start with your content (HTML) which is essentially the website’s blue print. You then move onto how it looks by adding components such as colour, images and spacing (CSS) and lastly you add interactive and behavioural factors to the page (JavaScript).
Keep them all individual
At the beginning web developers put all of these scripts on to one page however they soon noticed how time eating and labour intensive this process was, especially when any changes were required. Today best practice using HTML, CSS and JavaScript dictates you use separate files for each.
What is CSS?
Cascading Style Sheets are the second layer of a web page and manage the look of the page (page layout, font size, font colour, margins, padding,images...).
In the same vain as discussed above, there are a number of methods to using CSS;placing the CSS in the HTML file or using an external CSS file.
Why use an external CSS file?
Faster page load times
Share the same file across several pages
One modify can be applied to all those pages
How to link to an external CSS
To make the web browser understand which style sheet to reference for this page, in between the <head> tags place the following line (changing the highlighted file name to your
own).
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css" />
The <head> tags have to be opened after <html> and closed before <body>. Using the same example as before we now get the following HTML:
<html>
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css" />
</head>
<body>
<h1> Here is my first title </h1>

1 First of all your site will need is a good name. That's easier said than done at this time. All the best words in the dictionary have either already been bought and built by developers or they've been bought and offered by speculators.But you can putting two words together with a hyphen can work. When Find a good one, you can pick it up at www.godaddy.com (they can be a bit cheaper).
2 Then you should choose a hosting service, because your site is going to be stored on a hosting company's server. (You didn't want thousands of people dialing into your computer every hour, did you?) Again, there are lots of different options available depending on how much you want to pay and what you need. You also can pick it up at www.godaddy.com.
3 After that, it's time to design your site, absolutely anyone could create a website, If you can use Word, you can create a website, but you had better knew HTML.
4 The most important thing is creating content, what's your interest? If the content is your interest, you will be very happy to create it.
5 If your site is beautifull and content-full, you can decide to choose a type of make-money-on-the-internet, like google adsense, affiliate and so on.
6 At this time, it's time to make people know your site is there. One of the most important ways to do that is get your site a high-ranking in a search engine. There are lots of different search engines, but only three are really important: Google, Yahoo! and Bing.
