I%26#039;m trying to put a website together, but I don%26#039;t know anything really about HTML coding... I%26#039;ve created a webpage before in my design class through Dreamweaver, but I no longer have access to the program... is there a way I can create a site and upload it to a server (web hosting provider) without having to write it out in notebook (HTML)?? Can I create it in photoshop or Illustrator and upload it from there?? If so, how? Please help, so pathetically lost!
Web Design help!! Don%26#039;t know HTML?
Your best bet is to just learn HTML. If you plan to do any serious web design/development, you%26#039;ll have to know it. And knowing how to write it yourself keeps you from being tied to any piece of software.

Well... photoshop CAN generate html... sort of (it can do image maps... not full pages). But it%26#039;s nothing close to Dreamweaver, and it won%26#039;t upload it for you like Dreamweaver can.
I would suggest you either find a web host that provides a free site builder, or actually learn how to write html. I recommend learning html. Relying on software severely limits what you can do on the web.
Other Replys:There is a free software called NVU (N-view). It%26#039;s similar to Dreamweaver but not as good as that. You can try it at

Other Replys:i use mozilla composer, it has html coding
download it here:
http://www.mozilla.org/products/mozilla1...
once thats done, open it up and click on tools then composer.
it will look like a word document, but once you have all your information on there the way you want it, with pictures and colors, click on the bottom of the page HTML Source and it should have your html codings that you can copy and paste to your website.
Other Replys:Well you could use some web designing software like Microsoft Frontpage. You need not know html if you have a good webdesigning software. You can always get html codes for anything if you do a web search
Other Replys:Think about using templates. They really jumpstart your site if you really don%26#039;t know much about HTML or CSS.
FreeCSSTemplates is a good starting point.
Also I use HTMLKit and Kompozer to design my sites.
Kompozer is free and based on NVU. Its really easy to understand and use.
Other Replys:You can start easily with a web editor like front page 2000 or the popular free NVU. Then maybe start by signing up with a free host, e.g. Netfirms Basic from http://www.netfirms.com/ or the popular http://www.110mb.com/ Many free hosts have their own free web editors.
Perhaps download and use a free template from one of many templates web sites, e.g. http://www.steves-templates.com/ then up load your site to your host (use a free FTP program to upload your site - e.g. core FTP). Then you can promote it in forums, search engines, directories, etc, if you want.
You could start with a blog as well, e.g. try the Google閳ユ獨 blogger, or use the simple Google Page Creator (You need a Gmail account) - easy to set up for a beginner.
Later on though, it might pay to learn html/JavaScript/PHP etc, which allows more flexibility to design and modify your web site. Then maybe upgrade to a paid host and domain, which will possibly yield more features (scripting, bandwidth, increased storage space, email accounts, etc) and more ownership of your site...
Other Replys:I would recommend a good designer. One i have used many times and recommend is www.nitrostics.com
Good Luck with your site!
