Build
a website without knowing HTML:
The following information will help you build
your very first website. This tutorial is for
new to basic website designers and not intended
for the advanced user. In order to follow along
you will need Windows FrontPage.
1. Open FrontPage and select the dropdown menu
from the "page icon" then select "Web Site"
(click on smaller images to view a larger image)
2. After following step one you will get this
new window, you may choose the location of your
new website.
3. Press the "page icon". This will bring up a
new page that you may edit for your new website.
4. Most everyone has used Microsoft Word at some
point in time so I am not going to go into too
much detail, but act as if this new page is a
blank canvas in MS Word. See example above for a
simple demonstration image. Use the color pallet
to change colors of the font.
5. Insert a image from the pre-loaded clipart
gallery or from a file on your computer (for
this demo we are using a image from the clipart
gallery). The write your next line and highlight
the words.
6. We will now create a link from this site to
another website. Right click on the highlighted
text and right-click with your mouse, from the
menu that appears please select "Hyperlink". In
this case we will link to
www.pcbasicfix.com - Then press ok.
7. The final step is to save the file, select
File, Save as, then save the file the name you
choose and that's it. Congratulations you have
just created your first website.
To continue your site, try and be creative and
play around with the different functions of this
program. As I mentioned earlier it is almost
identical to MS Word.
If you would like your site to be several pages
long just start back at step one.
8. When you are linking your pages together just
create the Hyperlink to point to another webpage
you have created (example - name a file
new_page.html - when linking just type in
new_page.html).
9. You can change the background , page title
and keyword by right clicking and selecting
"page properties" |
