Create a Website Using HTML

How to Create a Website Using HTML

HTML is the Original publishing language of the World Wide Web.
All other website building platforms are based on HTML.
If you want to create a website with XHTML, ASP or PHP, you must first learn the basics of creating web pages with HTML code.

The future of web design as far as the internet is concerned is learning to develop web pages that can be viewed on 100 or more different sized devices.
It's learning to create web pages that will give a servicable display when viewed at 1920x1200 pixels or 320x260.
The secret is in learning to build liquid, instead of static or fixed width web pages.
Most of the tutorials you'll find on the net today are still teaching static design.
We're about to change that!!
I've spent the last month developing a basic HTML design simple enough for beginners to get started creating liquid web pages.
I've had the design tested on devices like iPad, Android and Safari 4.2.1 PHN
I also created a seven step tutorial that teaches you to build liquid web pages and a collection of simplified templates that you can pick from when you finish.
I think I've covered all the bases for first timers.
I've included tutorials for Learning to Copy and Paste code, Learning to Create New folders on your computer, How to find and use Notepad and How to Preview your web pages in a browser.
I should mention, the tutorial uses a liquid design, so you can squash the browser and place Notepad next to it while you're working through the lessons.
If I missed anything, contact me and I'll add it.

HTML

This HTML Code Tutorial will teach you the fundamentals you need to create a website with HTML.
We will focus on showing you how to use as little HTML code as possible when building web pages and then to format your web page using CSS (Cascading Style Sheets )
This HTML tutorial covers the mechanical side of simple web page building from the basic HTML tag, all the way to uploading your pages to the internet. Even includes a free FTP tool and instructions for putting your website on the internet.
Lessons cover HTML codes for header tags, paragraphs, lists, hyperlinks, tables , frames, forms and more.

CSS

The simple lessons also teach the art of formatting pages and text using CSS compliant Style Sheets.
Please visit our CSS Demo that shows the importance of learning CSS as you learn HTML.
Note: Every web page in this demo was created with the same exact HTML code, but using a different style sheet.
You can Download the Kit in a zip file for further studies.

Choosing an Editor

I don't recommend any WYSIWYG editor for building websites. I don't care who made it, Microsoft, Mozilla, Adobe or any other software provider, if it's WYSIWYG it's JUNK!
If you paid $1400 for a Visual or WYSIWYG, you still need to learn HTML code, just to fix the problems your editor will create.
If you want to use a WYSIWYG, learn to build web pages with a simple text or HTML editor first. Then you'll be equipped to fix the MESS your WYSIWYG generates!
Most WYSIWYGs are harder to learn to use than it is to learn HTML code. So why waste the effort?
