how difficult/easy is it to make a web page?

So I'm in this rudimentary computer class, and when it comes to hardware and digital entertainment, i know quite a bit, howver when it comes to coding and such, I'm a complete goof. We have to make a web page, host it on the school's server, and it should be simple, with a picture and a link. Is there any program that is easy to use that I can use for this?
Thanks,
Kishan
 
MSWord will make one. Save it as an .html, .htm file and upload it with the folder it creates. Easy.

Making a webpage is easy. Making one that doesn't suck isn't hard, but very time consuming.

Obviously its easy to those that know. But for starters and newbs, I recommend those programs that "drag-and-drop" objects and make the HTML for you. Those who are suggesting NOTEPAD are just trying to show off. Remember ppl, he has no html skills whatsoever, how the hell do you expect him to code right into notepad.

Just programs like Frontpage, Dreamweaver....or my personal favorite Adobe GoLive CS.

Good luck

yeah, but MS$h1t leaves a lot of tags throughout the code, so goodluck if the teach knows how to view source and gets pissed when she sees someone "cheated"...persay

i mean, cmoon, for a pic and link, how hard is it to do <img src=" "> and <a href=" "></a>?

the teacher is cool-they said we could use dreamweaver or such. I've never coded really, more into the hardware side.

Actually when I used dreamweaver (not the MX version) it always left stupid code I didn't want. Like <p><div> etc. Especially in table view and draggin tables and creating cells, god how I hated it. Go Live goes straight to the point. Its seriously the only thing I use when it comes down to straight html coding. Its also great if you need to drag-n-drop.

i'm gonna try golive-its due in a week, so I have enough time to properly do everything.

Thanks,

The task you're talking about is about as complex as writing a program in BASIC to print "Hello World!" Writing it by hand in Notepad would take a lot less time than installing any "web design" program to create it automatically.

I agree. 15 minutes of instruction and anyone with any web savvy can create a crappy looking page.
Add a few <center>'s and it'll look pretty nice.
Uploading the pics and htm file will take another 15 minutes of instruction.
It's probably in the OP's best interest to at least get a sniff of coding before learning how to "cheat" with an editor.
I hate Frontpage. A friend of mine uses Homepage and loves it. I have golive and have never so much as cracked it open. I have dreamweaver and didn't think it was particularly intuitive or user friendly.
I'm currently using homestead.com to host my site and they offer an online/downloadable pagemaker/editor that is super simple for noobs, and it allows you to sneak in your own html, dump javascipts in, and even squeeze in flash. You can "cheat" pic hosting, too.
KPSHAH316, google "basic html" and see what it's about. There's a billion help pages out there.
It'll be a lot easier (and quicker) than trying to figure out golive, especially if you have no experience with building pages.

 
Here's an easy way.

1. Open Notepad.
2. Go to web page you like.
3. Right click and view page source.
4. CTRL-A, then CTRL-C.
5. Bring up Notepad window and CTRL-V

Voila!

the dude said , and i quote "simple, with a picture and a link" , to me that means

<A HREF="http://www.google.com/" TARGET="_top"><IMG ALIGN="BOTTOM"
HEIGHT="76" WIDTH="201" SRC="/images/google.gif" BORDER="0" ALT="search
engine-google.com"></A>
Click to expand...

and you can take out the fancy target, img align , height, width and border stuff and alt, so would not
<A HREF="http://www.google.com/"><SRC="/images/google.gif"></A>
Click to expand...

do what he said? "simple, with a picture and a link" ? isn't that a picture and a link?

😉

anyway, use MS Word if you want
 
I would really suggest you start with Notepad, (to learn fundamentals), and then move up to Dreamweaver, etc..


Save the following as: index.html

<html>
<head>
<title>My First Website</title>
</head>

<body bgcolor=black text=white>
<H1>This Is My First Line of Text</H1>
This is a normal size of text <br><br>

<table width="45%" border=1>
<tr>
<td>Row1 Column1</td>
<td>Row1 Column2 </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Row2 Column1</td>
<td><a href="http://www.i-hacked.com">Row2 Column2 is a link</a></td>
</tr>
</table>
