When I search I come up with so much that it just makes it more confusing. Maybe someone out there can point me in the right direction.
Thanks

I want to launch my own website as quick as possible, but don’t know HTML or have a lot of time for a something with a steep learning curve. Money is not an issue here, thanks, Greg

Personally I recommend you should start with Visual Web Developer 2005 and you can download the software from Microsoft.com and above all its totally free and MSDN is full of tutorials on how to use it.

You dont have to learn HTML as this software adds all the code when Drag and Drop the objects

Please follow the link below to download Microsoft Visual Web Developer for free.

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/hi-in/express/aa700797.aspx

After downloading the software you need to activate the software that’s also free of cost.

For any help visit www.asp.net
You will be able to learn everything with no cost involved.

Best of Luck

As you may know a domain name is just a name, not a real website. If you are going to create your website: 1- Buy a domain name. To get a domain name, you have to pay an annual fee to a registrar for the right to use that name. 2- Buy a web hosting service to provide your online space and enable you to get your website online at your purchased domain name.

If you want to start your website I recommend purchase your domain and hosting together. In this way it is possible to get your domain for free. Some hosting services offer this gift today.

As an experienced webmaster I recommend BlueHost service which I’m sure it would work for you and fulfill all your requirements. They have a really great offer for hosting & I have used them for over 3 yrs now, and have never had a single problem with them.

They are a Multi-awarded Web Hosting which offer a Full-featured service only $6.95. You can see their Plan Details accompanied with reliable reviews regarding their service at:

I am looking for a free web site design tool that I can use to design a web site. I do not wish to have the tool put adds on the site or insist on using me using their hosting service. Can you help

Microsoft Visual Web Developer 2008 Express Edition

How much would you be willing to pay for a website that is more than just basic. I know you can set up a free website or design your own and host it for about 10 bucks a month. But are there small business owners who would like to have a professional website (that can handle a shopping cart and credit cards, provide search functionality, let users register on the site, etc.) but are put off since it is more complicated than what they can do on Front Page and more expensive than what they can afford to have a web design company do?

Hard to say, because I would love to know this as well.

I could not afford $1,200 for just the design, but there are aspects that I would like.

I would like it if a company could augment what I already have and charge per item. To explain a little better, I can do the backgrounds, the titles, the links, the content, I can even provide pictures, but I would want someone who could help do more with the pictures than just rollovers.
For this, I might pay $50 to $75 - There is no design work and it is a one time fee, unless I change the pictures.

For a complete package like you are talking about - with shopping cart, I guess, a 20+ page site around $50 a page.

I personally, still could not afford it with how small my business is. It would take me moving to the next level with an actual location and a small business loan to think about it.

What you talk about is great and I am interested - visit www.inspiredtouches.com, but like I said - my payout would be limited right now.

I prefer a free site, that would be good for an educational resource webpage, not a school or class page buiding site.

You can try a number of free Google Applications. I would try Google Docs (http://docs.google.com/) or you can use Google Pages which allows you to create actual websites for free (http://pages.google.com/)

you will have to sign up for a gmail account first (Free also!)

Pls give me program I will use in designing the web site, tell me how to start the program and the full procedure to design the web. Pls note that I don’t want to pay any money on designing this web site and publish to the internet.

1. You need a webspace at web hosting server.

Recommended :: GoDaddy http://www.godaddy.com

Free webhosting:: Awardspace,freeservers,netfirm…

http://www.awardspace.com/
http://www.freeservers.com/
http://www.netfirms.com/

2. You need a Domain Name

like www.yourwebsite.com

Again Godaddy offers Domain names at lowest price available. You can get your website.info for as low as $ 0.99

Well,you can have free domain name like yourwebsite.awardspace.com with free webhosts. or you can redirect your paid domain towards free webhosts.

3. Web Designing

If you know Html +javascript+flash its a cakewalk, but if you are not equipped, there are loads of free web-publishing softwares available.
Here are a few for the layman:

Rapidwebsite

get free software
http://4minweb.com/

You can design a website by just creating a MS.Word file with same name of your buttons on webpage and they’ll contain all those texts.Besides, you can insert pics in .doc file too. If you are aware(remember first page should be INDEX)

When your website is done take it out of your TEMP folder in
Document settings>>User>>Local>>TEMP
OR
you can put your website directly by in built FTP on *rapid website*

a4desk
——————-
http://www.a4desk.com

This one is a cool , free flash website maker that you can try

4.Next you need to upload your designed website files on webhost.

You can use any of the free FTP softwares like:

CuteFTP —-just punch in your domain name +user id+password to enter the server by simply connecting at FTP.
http://www.cuteftp.com/

Now can put your website pages ..and you are done!

Note:: Always keep the folder structure of your designed website in your mind while loading it at server.

Cheers:)
