Hi, i had started a new topic, coz i would like to learn - how to start a new web site and manage it, how ever i am good at desktop programming

Hello v.naveen,

 

Having seen your post I thought maybe I can contribute something there. You see, the quickest way for you to build a website is by using a website builder software. One of my favourite is EZGENERATOR. You can go to their website at http://www.ezgenerator.com/, and there you will find anything you will need to create a professional website. You can create a professional website without graphical skills or technological/HTML knowledge and yet still have all the added extra's such as BLOG, Calendar, e-Commerce, Guestbook, impressive image slideshows, PodCast, Counters and many more features.

 

You can download a free trial of the software (23mb) and follow the online video tutorials. They have built in templates which you can choose from, and you can select the type whether e-commerce, music, etc.

 

After you have built your site, you will need a domain or subdomain name and a hosting service. If you cannot afford a premium hosting service, there are many free web hosting company around offering almost everything you will need. Actually, Xisto.com seems to be an excellent choice, but you will need to accumulate credit points through postings on their forum. Free Web hosting companies also provide you with subdomains if you cannot afford a domain name. The difference between subdomain and domain is that domain name is yourwebname.com or yourwebname.net where are free subdomain you will have to use the webhosting name as part of your domain name such as yourwebname.trap17.com

 

For the time being I thinak that is what I have to contribure, but if you require any further assistance, please do contact me on midi.site90@gmail.com

 

All the best

to get started you should learn some web languages starting with html and css then you could move to javascript and or PHP when you understand html and css. learning these stuff should be easy since for you since you know computer programing. also maybe your site could be about computer programing or about the things you've done with computer programing. managing is a bit easy, just make sure you update your site often to give your users something new to come back to.

if you just want to make a website a WYSIWYG editor is a good way to go but if you want to learn how to make a good website yourself learn html then move to php or asp... i prefer php myself... but starting out you might just want to go with a WYSIWYG editor... all up to you and what you want to do

edit:
