Web Design

If someone wants to build a website, beginners and advanced alike want one thing: An appealing Homepage should be online as soon as possible, without having to deal with the ins and outs of graphical design or to dig into complex and possibly erroneous HTML code in a hard and sweaty way.

It's quite easy to spend a fortune on various software products for building a website - and possibly they won't help a lot for some tasks.

Another way is to get some cheap or free software - which sometimes is better than commercial software - and to build a good looking website with the help of good manuals and professional templates.

Very good software for building a website I can recommend and you can legally download are:

NVU: A complete program for building and managing websites, which does not need to hide behind commercial programs like FrontPage or Dreamweaver. KompoZer is the successor ov NVU with lots of updates

The Gimp: A world class image manipulation program with countless add ons. Some of these are even not available for Photoshop - the market leader in this field. If you want to build an appealing homepage, there is no way to get around a good graphics program.

On ebay I offer books, ebooks, templates and some programs around the topic web design and building websites. With this you will easily build an appealing website in no time without the need to fumble around with HTML or scripting languages.

You have to deal with HTML and scripting languages a little for advanced topics. And I also offer books and ebooks but also complete scripts you can instantly use and build into your website.
