My internet provider gives me 20MB of space. I've downloaded Cuteftp and am able to upload files to the site. How can I make a simple web page? Are there any simple shareware programs I can download? Thanks for any help.

actually you have one of the most simple and powerful programs in your computer already, its called notepad.exe.


if you can ftp to you isp, then all you need is to load some pages that you made, and voila you are done.


your address would be something like http://ispname.com/~user/


if you are asking how to make a webpage, there are a million pages on the net that will guide you to make a simple webpage. a program that you might want to dl might be homesite, simple and powerful, maybe when you get more advanced you might want to used dreamweaver, i love it, but you still need to know the basics.

BTW thanks for replying.

as far as creating webpages there are lots of free or nearly software out there frontpage lite may work for you cute ftp a html editor. or with a little serching and time you can find all the info you need to learn html and not be limited to a wizard style webpage. after you create it use cute ftp to upload what you made... good luck

create the site locally, then upload the files to your web space. the above link has beginner's info on creating web pages and info on how to use HTML. to find out how to connect and upload to your web space, contact your service provider.

I created a website from a huge document, scanning and adding pictures and sound clips in seven hours with Netscape composer. And it's all free! Mind you I did have Sam's book.

Notepad and frontpage are most common....frontpage has been known to add lots of useless formatting code to html files, but I use it because it's easier then working with raw html code. Frontpage comes with MS Office 2000, and I think it can also be purchased separately.

Upload actual webpages? Just upload the .html files that you have created. Make sure the main, first page of your website is called index.html. Then whenever someone put in your website address (http://www.provider.net/~yoursite) it would bring up your website, not a list of the files in it :)
