Now that you have chosen your web site type and doming name and your web host
service, its now time to build the your web site, there are some basics that
everyone building a website should know; these are HTML (Hypertext Markup
Language), CSS (Cascading Style Sheets), FTP (File Transfer Protocol)
HTML is the language used to write your page that the browser understands and
will "translate" it into your page. Some basic HTML skills are need for your to
be able to edit your page, even if you are using FrontPage or Dreamweaver or any
other application. But don't worry because HTML is a very easy language to
learn, see this simple tutorial.
CSS is a file that is used to specify how the HTML elements should appear on the
web page. One CSS file can apply to as many HTML files as you want, that's why
CSS files save you a lot of time and it's easier to edit all your web site pages
by editing only the CSS file. CSS is also very easy and can be learned in an
hour, see this simple tutorial.
Some times you want to build your web pages on your computer and upload them
when you finish, or you have some files (pictures, documents...) that you want to
upload to your web site. You can use the hosts online upload tool, or use a
better way which is FTP. All you have to do is to download a FTP application
like win_SCP or WS_FTP or any other application that is compatible with your
platform. There is nothing much to learn about FTPs, all you need to do is to
provide the FTP application with the host name, username and password, and you
can start copying your files to your web site.
