getting started
ok so you want to build your own website? well that is great, and i will help you along your way in the cheapest possiable manner I.E. try to allow you to create and host a website for free however i will point this out now, for some tasks it may not be possible for you to do this for free, for example if you are make a site for a company it may not be realistic to use free hosting or host of a home computer.
so to get started you will need a range of tools that will help you on your way such as:
| firefox | this is in my view the best browser to have if you are developing a website as it allows you to view the codes of other sites (but not PHP) |
| XAMPP | this is a free webserver that can be run on a home computer it is also how this site is being brodcasted, i will do a tutorial on how to use theis later |
| Notepad++ | this is a program that you can uses to write the code of your website, you can use notpad but notpad++ is better and easier to use, however the best website disign program is Macromedia Dreamweaver (the program i use), but this is quite expensive but is the easyest to use as it can write some of the code for you. |
ok now you have these programs on your computer you will need to start to build your first website chick here to continue: the basics
