Newbie What is the program suitable for me?

hai, i am new and i am a totally newbie.i would like to know between microsoft frontpages 2002 and publishing 2003. which one is more suitable for me?actually by common sense, i know how to use this 2. but which is more stable?or there is another free software available on market?thanks

Well ELTan, to answer that, you would need to clarify on few things.What is your intent on using any of those software? Only then would we be able to suggest what would be suitable for you.If you intend to create HTML pages that you wish to publish online, then FrontPage would be suited for you.But if you intend to create layouts that are primarily targeted to be published by prink, then Publishing 2003 would suit you.To answer the last question on is there any free software - that, as I said earlier would require for us to know what your purpose is. I belive there are free and open source softwares out there for both the purposes - web publishing and traditional layouting. I am not sure about traditional layouting, but there definetly are many free web page creators to create HTML pages.

ok, thanks for your reply. i never learning any programing, therefore i dont know those programing languease.however i am very interested to learn how to do a website.the main purpose other than that is that i hope can bring my business online. bring it to more customer.at begining stage i hope at least can learn how to present my company to public and promote my company services and product.oyu may ask me why i dont employ some web designer to do that for me...the answer is that i am interested on it and i hope can do it by myself.

Err... don't wanna seem a busybody but i thought only accepted tutorials would be in the how to's and tutorials site??

i put my post in wrong site? i though this is a sub forum under How to's and toturial...
because i am really new and might do some mistake during learning. so please message me about my mistake.
and i trying to seek some sample web site done by our members. but until now i still not get it.... is there a sub forum for member to share their web site store in Xisto?
thanks for all the guide.

I wasn't saying it is your mistake. I always thought only accepted tutorials would appear in the how to's and tutorials section. Just pointing out what I thought. Definitely not your mistake, ELTan, if you post a legitimate post and it can appear in the how to's and tutorials section. As for the sample web site, go to the free web hosting requests section and check out those applications for a free web hosting account. There should be info on their website's name. Have to remember though, that not all approved member would habe their website up and running. Hehe... I'm one of them. I thought I wanted to post something on the web, then, hmm... now, maybe later. I don't know...

Now if you do not want to program and do not want to hire a web designer, then I would suggest you go to some of the free web hosts and then use their own WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) editors to create a handful of webpages. You could also try Google Pages for the purpose.But if you are really serious about online presense for your business, then I think you should go for a paid hosting, and either learn constructing a website or have it done by someone who know. Putting up business websites on free servers may decrease brand value depending on the business you are in.

I am agreed with ur opinion. i will go for a paid server after i gain enough experiences. i am learning some technique to do web site, from different channel. off course here will be only one of them. i have enough free time so i plan to invest it in web design.I have some ambition to do some web design for small company. now in my country still a lot of this kind opportunity. (develop my time on something i am interested)I join this forum because it say that provide a space for young talent....

You could use the space provided at Xisto, but that would be about as much it would do. You would need to learn a bit of Web Designing to actually construct a website.Ofcourse, you could ask questions here and it would be answered most of the time if the question is elaborated properly.

ELTan, if you are new or just learning some new techniques for web design, Xisto is a great place. When I first came here, I just had a basic understanding of HTML. As my need for more diverse things on my website increased, the more I got out of this forum. The community here is great. I slowly found sites on the web to help me learn PHP, and when I got stuck on something, I came to the Xisto forum. MySQL database I basically learned all right here, though at this point I don't know alot. The great thing about being here is, there are so many people around with so much knowledge, that usually someone can figure out an answer to your questions. I'm just hoping one day I will be able to answer someone else questions for a change.

yup, that is the one i looking for. i looking for a site people can peach people. a site where a new learner can get new knowledge without being critises a lot.... at my age at 31, i know not easy to learn new thing but i will try my very best
