Building and publishing a site is easy. All you need is:

  • A company to host your site
  • An FTP (File Transfer Protocol) program, like CuteFTP
  • The relevant data to plug into the FTP program (FTP address of your site's folder, username and password)
  • A domain registered with the hosting company
  • Pages of code

CuteFTP, like most FTP programs, asks you once for the login information for your FTP space, and then stores it, so once you open the program, you choose which site you want to access, and one side of the window will have folders which represent the space you have on the remote server, while the other is the folders on your computer. You drag and drop from one side to the other and that's it.

If all you want is to work with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, your first learning experiences can take place right on your desktop. You can create HTML files in any text editor, save them as plain text (or HTML if that is an option), and give them a .html extension. Now you can load your file directly into your browser.I suspect most page developers begin most of their pages this way, especially when testing images. I don't usually move a page to my server until (a) it's done, (2) I need to check cross-browser issues, or (3) it needs server-side scripting, like PHP.In other words, you can learn A LOT without a server.

It's generally better if you keep posting to the board. I may not be around when you have time to practice, but someone will be.

Work from the outside in. I mean, start off picturing the largest, block-level shapes. Maybe you want a banner section at the top, a footer at the bottom, and two columns in the middle. You'd think about those shapes first. If any of those sections has sub-parts, like a form or a menu, think about those next.Whatever you do, don't start with your text. You will certainly end up with a mess. All you need to know at first is where the text is going to know; then you design a shape for it.

Ok i need more detail as to how to do that pleaseOh and nice pic below very cool

You can also learn by viewing the source code on every site you visit. By looking at the code, how they were tagged or nested.

Ok thats easy thanks. I asume there would be security of sorts to stop people hacking sites or changing Atributes etc or in other words stuffing someones site up? Not that im into that but there must be peolpe out there with that mind set

Find the web page, right click and choose "View source code"

They can't really change anything, because the file would have the be uploaded the server. When click view source code, think of it as opening notepad. That is basically all I can tell you, not very good at the security.

If you want to try to edit the code on other sites, there are several tools. If you use Opera to view the source, you can edit it and hit Save and it will update the page you're looking at. You can also use Firebug to edit the HTML or CSS for a page online to see how it changes.

When you view source, you view the version that is downloaded to your computer, not the one on the server. So you won't be able to see stuff like PHP code or other server side code, since that's all done before the page is sent. If you edit anything, you're only editing the version on your computer and won't effect the server's page or the page downloaded on anyone else's computer. Does that make sense?As justsomeguy says, there are tools to test edits, but you'll be the only one to see them, and they won't be applied to the server's page, once again.If I were you, I'd focus on HTML and CSS for a while, and build with a strict DOCTYPE so you're building to standards. A lot of sites aren't so using their source as examples could teach you bad habits. If you have a question about something on someone's site, you could always post the URL and explain what you want to know. People on here are friendly enough someone will come to the rescue. Who knows, it could be me :).
