My friend wants to have a web site

eilute · Mar 2, 2006

:roll: He has never had a web page before, but still.

Googlepages is your friend's friend.

Juno · Mar 2, 2006

are you gonna code for him?

RossMAN · Mar 2, 2006

There are scripts and templates which make it cheap and easy to make a site.

Does your friend have a domain?

What kind of site do they want? What sort of content will it have?

EvilYoda · Mar 2, 2006

Topic Summary: but doesn't want to learn HTML

There are many people like that and personally, I don't think there's anything wrong with it.

I used the WYSIWYG html editor that came with IE back in 1996. Came out looking great, no html knowledge needed.

blackrain · Mar 2, 2006

Frontpage is pretty intuitive and user friendly as well

Conky · Mar 2, 2006

I'm thinking your friend needs a myspace page.

There's a great Home Page Builder here.

Just plug in your desired irtems, it creates your html page for you.

Free of course.

Since when has this been a problem? You think all of those bloggers out know HTML?

imported_KuJaX · Mar 17, 2006

Google just came out with a tool to design a page, although the functionallity is limited.

Also there is frontpage and dreamweaver if he wants to play around a little bit without looking at raw coding.

You've got to be kidding me. This isn't 1997 anymore.

I thought of this at first also, but everytime I look at Google pages, I see this:

"Sorry, we are unable to offer new accounts today. We appreciate your interest and invite you to add your Gmail address to our wait list. We'll let you know when we've enabled your account. ? The Google Page Creator team"

vshah · Mar 17, 2006

frontpage or dreamweaver should do the trick.

TallBill,

Is there something about that free html builder that you object to?

I don't understand your disparagement, TallBill, in saying, "You've got to be kidding me," nor your remark, "This isn't 1997 anymore." I guess you were suffering a bad moment when you tossed that off, or just neffing.

The fact is that page builder will be a very helpful learning device for a fresh beginner.
He can enter what he likes into its fields, then look at the resulting html code. It'll help him down the learning curve faster.

Maybe you're a super-coding expert, TallBill, but let's remember that he asked for help to begin, i.e.; a b c.

We're not talking Ruby or Perl or PHP integration with MySQL or something else that might be included at a more advanced stage. He asked for help to learn elementary html.

So, TallBill, your put down remark, "This isn't 1997 anymore" is nonsensical, bordering on hostile and arrogant, and might deter him from harvesting the value freely available at that very helpful site, which is precisely written as help for beginners.

TallBill, have you hung out in many British pubs? I have, especially around Birmingham & Wolverhampton.
ATOT is "A public meeting place, a Pub, if you will... "
People trade info & opinions in a friendly way.

So let's keep that in mind, TallBill, & if you or I can help somebody here who requests it, let's try in a positive way to help them.

And, TallBill, since you tore down the value of that excellent free beginners-level site I had suggested, what do you recommend for him that you find superior to it?

I'm 6'4", how tall are you, TallBill?

To eilute
I again recommend you play with the free html builder here.

Then look at ther resulting html code, together with an html reference such as a book or off the web, to learn how it works. html is easy. scott

:Q Nice.
Has he tried Frontpage?

I think you put way too much effort in that response.

I want to have a house, but I don't want to get a contractor's license. :roll:

Freddy Kruger · Mar 18, 2006

Scott, I don't know what "disparagement" means and I believe you are 4'6" tall. I thought it was a good site.
