I have got to make a web-site for the missus! Now I've worked in computing for 20 years, but building web sites has never been my field (currently I work with multi Terabyte Data warehouses).
What is the easiest and simplest way for me to build a site? I already have the domain names and a hosting service with 1and1, so what website building tools should I use and once built, how can I improve search hit rates? Thanks |

Hi Lid
It's not as difficult as it's made out to be. you don't need to know coding HTML etc. A visual editor is all you need, now some on here will have their own prefrence, and no doubt they'll all be good. I started with Coffee Cup Visual, I find it so easy that I've stuck with it. As you've already got the server and web name, next you need to be able to upload your files to your server. This you need a FTP software, File Transfer Protocol, there's free one's available on the net. Uploading files is easy and once you've mastered it your web site will evolve into a powerful internet medium. Good Luck.

Try getting hold of the Lynda.com or VTC video tutorials
at a pinch even the for Dummies books are helpful -------------------- |

What sort of website? If it's one that is constantly being updated with articles, you may be better off with a Content Management System, such as I use for the main part of Anglers' Net.

It will be relatively static pages, probably with a message board or mini forum. It will have the ability to peddle and sell a few e-books, and some real books.
