Hey all... I am trying to get a website up to sell a product I have (seen here). I haven't done web work in a few years, and when I did, it was just basic HTML, nothing fancy. I notice that a lot of you post really nice looking, smooth sites, and I was wondering what you used to make them. How do you make it so you have like one big picture as the side/top, with different areas clickable as buttons (am I making sense?) Pretty much, I just want a nice looking, professional site. If you can suggest any programs that I should look into getting, or any free ones (even better), I would appreciate it. Thanks
 
If you're Photoshop l33t get Web Collection (it has Go Live!)

Also, Macromedia Dreamweaver/Ultra Dev

Frontpage 2002 is ok (and web folders are cool) so long as you don't use any of it's dinky features (webbot mouseovers, etc)

If you like hand coding HomeSite is nice

None of those are free btw.
 
Thanks for all the suggestions... I am checking out First Page 2000 now... Can somebody just tell me real quick where I should start when making the side menubar like I mentioned before? Any tutourial websites?

Find a website that you like and look at the page source. That's the best way I've found to learn.

You might want to use a table. Something that looks like this:

<table>
<tr>
<td colspan=2>Top Picture</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Side Picture</td>
<td>Site content</td>
</tr>
</table>

PM if you have any more questions.
