Website designing?

1. How do I RE-CREATE the same webpage inorder to make a website with multiple webpages? which program is best to use if you have minimal html designing know-how 2. How come some FREE website templates are difficult to customize once you download it, and it is also difficult to recreate or copy the same webpage. These free website templates only give out index.html but once you try to copy the same to make other webpages like contact, profile, portfolio it is difficult and the page seem hard to edit or customize.

  1. Try windows frontpage for beginners. THen once ur more advanced u can use dreamweaver.. then u wont have to use any program. lol.. I'm not sure wot u mean by website templates being difficult to customize if u want to customize existing templates i think dreamweaver is good to use.
  2. I am using WebBuilder.Easy and fun. Good luck
  3. use Microsoft Frontpage or Macromedia Dreamweaver to make webpages..these r the most commonly used tools to design web pages..Microsoft Frontpage is easy to use and has all the basic features to make web pages..but Macromedia Dreamweaver has much more options and is not so easy to use for the first few times..
  4. Try learning html! Makes life way easy! Rofl srry i would have explained more if i didn't have to go so soon >.< !!
  5. I would avoid Frontpage, it's really not a very good program. I'm not sure what you mean recreate the same webpages, if you mean apply the same style to all of your pages that's really easy. The design part of a page is done with css. You can get lots of nice css stylesheets at websites like csszengarden.com. After you download one, just link to it in your html pages by pasting <link rel="stylesheet" href="cssfilenamehere.css" type="text/css" /> somewhere inside the <head> and </head> tags. Not sure if this is what you want. Also, knowing just a little bit about the basic html tags will help you a lot too if all you need to do is a little modifying of pages.
  6. Hi, 1. I am thinking you mean you have a template or page you made which is called index.html and now you want to duplicate it for say about.html. If this is the case just open index.html and save as about.html and change the content and you’re done.... 2. Templates are usually made in graphic software like in Photoshop or in Fireworks. They design the whole page as an image and then do what they call "cut up". Cut up means they select only a piece or slice of the graphic, export it as a .gif or jpg graphic and make it then like the header or logo of the website. Which they place then in a table. That’s why you will see on many templates that something that looks like one photo is now made up of about 4+ graphics. Personally don't use templates. Make your own unique website, but go ahead and use like graphics or nice stuff like buttons off from the templates. I am assuming your are making an website you want to get search engines. However if you are just going to give the URL out to people then hey, do what you like. But if you are going to put the site on search engines and stuff rather focus on site layout and giving your users an easy access, navigations and simple to use website. People don't care how your website looks, they just want the stuff they are searching for and they want it now without having to navigate forever to get somewhere on the page.
  7. If you want most elements of a page to repeat themselves here is how its done: save all these elements in a *.php page even if it's html (i know its weird, it is because php just pastes things together when running) say "menu.php". This should contain only the reused part - nothing else: For instance: <body> <div id="div1"> <div id="div2"> </div> That may be all. Notice I did not close the second div. Now say that your first page is called "page1.php" (though again it can be html only). <html> <head> </head> <?php include("menu.php") ?> ............................... </div> // we close the div here ........................... </body> </html> That's all.
  8. I get what your saying. Well to recreate the same page copy everything in the index.HTML page. Open up a new page copy it all in there an then save it with a different name, like contact.html....of course you will later have to give everything inside different information,like stuff related to a contact page for example, but that is ok. An yes i hate how some free web site templates are harder to customize then others. Some are harder then others because some people don't feel like learning the new stuff, some still use the old way to do it, some just haven't had the time to learn the new stuff, some people are sloppy coders, some just don't know there's a better way to do things. The best way to do it is, look at there design and instead of copying there's just design yours from scratch to look like there's, more work involved, but at least you wont be going, what the heck did they do to this layout??? Also, helps you know the layout front to back, and you have More control.But i hope this helps.
