Can someone tell me how this site was designed?

How would I go about creating a site like this? What language/development program/etc would be best to learn to do so?

Many thanks in advance ATOT for your advice!

(As an aside, this site is for a controversial book being released and for which the government is trying to buy up all of the first printing).

If you view the source you'll see that WP Supercache was used which is a plugin for Wordpress. The Javascript is jquery.

It's just Javascript niceness like animation stemming from a dozen jQuery plugins...

Cufon is used for the typeface/heading. There's a slider script, a countdown script, a custom script, jQuery UI, etc.

Please put this BEFORE the link next time so the government won't backtrace me.

Your consequences will never be the same.

I noticed a lot of sites using div and css instead of table tags. What programs have been using a lot of div's lately?

Notepad.

Notepad.

Most look generated.

http://www.smoothieking.com/ for isntance. Every time I see use of the &nbsp in succession I assume it was a space created in dreamweaver.

That site uses &nbsp; exactly the way I use it, and I write my HTML manually.

Edit - and not in fucking Notepad. I would rather stab myself than program in Notepad.

Notepad supports code generation.

Just preload the generator by highlighting something and pressing Ctrl-C

Then generate away by pressing Ctrl-V

You can spit out a lot of nbsp's that way.

All of them? Tables are horrible.

All of them? Tables are horrible for non-tabular data.

Fixed.
