I'll try to help as best as I can but I'm still new at the whole website building thingy..

For building websites you can use the basic notepad if you know how to do html coding.. Html is the basic language that builds a website.. however its very tough building a website just based on writing html codes. Most people will use What You See Is What You Get (WYSIWYG) builders instead..

The ones I know of is Dreamweaver (must buy the software) or Nvu which is freeware.. it helps a lot to be using graphical user interface to create your website..

I'm interested to know why you want to put the IP address of the visitor on your welcome page.. does it serve any useful purpose? Most people don't even care what their IP address is, so showing it to them really serves no purpose..

To create flash effects you obviously need Flash to create them.. Flash does not come free unfortunately...
Flash also has a steep learning curve to it.. What kind of flash effects are you looking for? Maybe I can help you find or make one if I have the time..

Also be careful not to put too much effects onto your website.. Unless it serves a purpose then put it.. Otherwise one too many effects will cause your site to become very distracting and confusing.. It might also cause your site to load slowly, especially for dial-up users..

There is a very easy to understand tutorial about what HTML is all about. It's targetting for children but it has all the basic knowledge of what html is and how to build your own website..

Go check it out here

Also it would be helpful to use a template.. it helps those who are trying web designing for the first time.. There is a thread on this. Templates

Hope it helps..

The Mozilla Suite includes the Composer which is a free download. Composer can be used as both a text editor and and wysiwig editor. Besides, you get a good Browser out of it, too. https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/

thanx buddies . That two replies really help me to have some understaning about HTML basics . but me can't write my complete site in a NOTEPAD beacuse that requires a vast knowledge of HTML , now me can just edit any thing simple in HTML . Today i was trying to creat a simple page in FRONTPAGE , i use Frontpage because i think that i can it provides simple user interface and secondly i can understand some HTML . As my that thinking is right ?? And "agentblade" buddy was saying that to buy DREAWEAVER , Buddy i have already but the complete FLAST SUITE . but i was just wondering that is mush difficult to work in FLASH. I wished to creat my WELCOME page in flash i tried alot but just in vain. Every thing seems to beyond my limits . So please help me to create my SITE in FLASH .witing for help !

Well the easiest and cheapest way to go flash is 3d flash animator. Not as complex as flash mx and dreamweaver but they do have better features. 3dfa is only 50$ to. http://www.3dfa.com/

Hi Good-Baby , I am just thinking that you are a really new beginner in field of Web-Designing. Buddy there are certain things that would be kept in mind while telling about you some web desiging software.

Buddy ! I think so you so you should try WEB PAGE MAKER . If you dont have any knowledge of HTML , JAVA or FLASH no matter . This is a software with a complete graphicall user interface . you can add java effects , add flash movies , add tables , add marquees and much more by using this software . And believe me it is very easy to use software . You can download this software at :Click Here . It is free to use for 15 days trail. But buddy I suggested you to not perform linking using this software , you should use FRONTPAGE for linking process because if you do some work on your web pages in FRONTPAGE you will able to understand HTML . And may you will able to learn basics of HTML . And let me share one thing this is how I created me first site .

And if you want to show the information of the visitor his IP address , Browser and Operating system then Click Here.

If you want to place e-messenger on yur site , I think so that it is not possible you can only place a link to e-messenger.

I hope I hope that this post will help you I little bit.

i suggest that dreamweaver is the basic tool whic h you can use inorder to design a webpage, but it has its own disadvantages,instead of html codings you can also use some java script ,they r reall powerfull and usefull,if you are not well versed with java script dont worry,you can get it frm websitesin order to create a website you need to know about data baseWhat is a guest database?Frontier stores websites -- and data and scripts -- in object databases. The main database, which contains Frontier's built-in functions, is called Frontier.root, and it's in the same folder as the Frontier application.Guest databases are databases other than Frontier.root. Guest databases are where you store your websites.Frontier databases end with a .root file extension -- and are sometimes called "roots." To publish your first page, select the index item in the tutorial table by single-clicking on the triangle to the left of it.Then choose Publish Page from the Web menu.To add some content to the page, open "index" up in a new window. To do so, double-click on the triangle to the left of the "index" item. It's kind is wp text, which means "index" is a text editing window.To create a new page, select an item, any item, in the tutorial table. Then choose New Page from the Web menu. When prompted for the title of the new page, type "Page Two." A new page will be created in the same table as the index page. The name of the item will be "pageTwo," and the page will open for editing, with a #title directive already in the page. To add content to the page, simply type below the directive, as with the index page. To publish the page, choose the Publish Page command.Suppose you want to change the background and text colors for all the pages in your website. Right now we've built just a small, two-page website. But a website might have hundreds or many thousands of pages.This is a key concept in Frontier's website framework: directives are inherited, and can be over-ridden. In the example above, the setting for the entire website was a black background with white text. Both the home page and Page Two inherit those settings. But: Page Two over-rides those settings by including directives in the page itself. As you'll see as you work with Frontier, inheritance works at the table level too. If Page Two were in a subtable of the tutorial website, you could set a #bgcolor directive at the table level that would over-ride the setting in the #prefs table at the top level of the website. This way all the pages in a table can over-ride the settings at the top level.some go for outlines and templatesWhy use outlines for templates?Many Frontier users prefer to write templates in outlines, even though you can write them as wp text objects.Often, your template is where most of your HTML is. The actual page contents tend to contain little HTML. They often contain text, blank lines between paragraphs, perhaps some macros such as imageRef, some light HTML such as bold tags -- but most of the HTML is in the template.Since HTML is a structured language, and outlines are well-suited for showing structure, outlines are often used for templates.For instance, note in the screen shot of the tutorial template how the elements under the blockquote tag are indented. You don't have to do that -- but if you do, it makes it easier to see the structure.

Well depending on your skills it could take some practice but you could make a design using Adobe Photoshop but if not you could hard code it. If you mean program to code it in I would suggest Macromedia Dreamweaver 8. It helps finish what you are typing with it's autocomplete. What type of Java and Flash effects are you looking for? If you go to http://www.pixel2life.com/ they have thousands of tutorials for those resources. Search for the type of effect you are looking for and it will search for one in their database and they basically give you the code and explain what each part does. Hopefully this helps.

Cong. dude! First thing is to read tutorial how to creat a good web-page! You now, please, read out my tutorial about commom mistakes in homepages! So, I suggest you to go at first to google.com and find some HTML Tutorial if you want to write in Notepad, but the most easiest way is to download Bluevoda Website Builder! You even don`t need to use HTML codes to build a web-page! Templates and Buttons are given, same as more features...

Well, you can just say i want a web site with this this this and this... First buy a book about DreamWaver and Flash, and then start building a site, then you will know how to do nearly everything, and if someone tells you how to do it,you sure wont understand what does it ment,you get the point?

I'll try to help as best as I can but I'm still new at the whole website building thingy..

You can find very good tutorials by clicking http://www.teacherclick.com/, I used this site to learn Dremweaver 8. I am still learnig Flash 8. This process is very time consuming.
Regarding the softwares you can download them from free from < LINK REMOVED >. You have to download first the software from < LINK REMOVED >
Make sure that you have intalled in your compuer a good antivirus software as some of the staff from bttorrent have viruses .

Good luck

If you really want to get confused/ learn a whole new language go with HTML and all you need is your handy little windows notepad! But if you want to take the easy route i would advise you to get Dreamweaver! yes it is pricey but its is seriously the best program i have on my computer!

That...i do not know

that i do not know either

What you want here is also another pricey Adobe program: Flash. OR you could one of these rubbish ones that are nowhere bear as good as Adobe Flash:

http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/

there are plenty of other ones but out of all of them (in my opinion)(except Adobe Flash) Swish is the best.

hope I helped!
