The Web's great, isn't it? I mean, what other medium lets you publish your
deepest thoughts, share your music, hobbies, photos and dubious peccadilloes with
a potential audience of billions, all for next to nothing?
Best of all, to produce your own original, inspiring and professional looking
Web site, you don't need state of the art technology, piles of the latest software
or a degree in Advanced Boffinhood - anyone with enough determination and dedication
can knock out a top-notch site using any old computer and a budget tighter than
a crab's arse.
This guide will help you get started and highglights the resources you'll need
to develop your skills. Just use the menu on the right to choose the section you
want or you can print the whole thing to give you some
bedtime reading.
We start with the basics and tell you how to go about
picking a Web editor, and then move on to how you go
about getting yourself some Web space and a domain name.
Once you've got all that sussed, you can get to grips with planning
and building your site. We'll talk about using images,
dealing with navigation and layout, and providing interactive
content.
Accessibility and promotion
are also covered, and we finish with a brief explanation of some more advanced
programming.
Part one: the basics >>
