Hello,

Well I am not sure if this is the correct forum, but here it goes. My experience in Web Design and programming is very limited and I am looking for a good tutorial or something for the sort that will help me learn to create a nice web site. Thanks.

a tutorial on what? there's lots involved with making a nice web site.
i assume you want it to be dynamic (ie. you don't have to manually change the HTML for any changes) in which case you should really learn a Server-Side scripting language (ASP, JSP, PHP, Cold Fusion, even Perl or CGI)

If you already have a host, I would check with them to see which languages they support.
Then, i'd check out webmonkey to get started on whichever language you choose. Cold Fusion has really good documentation that comes with it, which you could use to teach yourself - but CF Hosting isn't as popular as other languages.

As for making it look nice, if you search on google for photoshop tutorials, they should hold you in good stead.
 
Thanks JoinT,

I already do have access to a host and I will need to check what they support. I will check out Cold Fusion and CGI I think, not sure about the other ones. Any tips would be great. Thanks

i would stay away from Perl or CGI, both will be more difficult to create a full solution.
IMHO, Cold Fusion is the easiest one to learn. It uses tags just like HTML & blends really well. If you download the demo of the server app, it will install the documentation, which will teach you all the basics.

Otherwise I would use PHP or JSP
 
i'd recommend PHP. you can use coldfusion or asp, but why lock yourself into something like that? PHP is open source, and isn't going to pull any tricks on you. the documentation is awesome (php.net's manual search is VERY VERY VERY useful), #php on open projects network (irc), and lots of other nerds doing php.... it makes it really fun. lots of cool stuff you can do with it. in fact look in my sig
