I already have to domain and registration but I am a beginner and I would like someone to tell me what I am doing right or wrong. I need mentor. No compensation available but I will give you credit~~ Thanks [email protected] May 02 06 01:01 pm Link I need a chef. I need someone to cook me dinner every night. No compensation, but I'll give you credit. Snarky response, but still... May 02 06 01:03 pm Link Chris Ambler wrote: Wow lol. Gotta love that. I have to agree, its pretty lame to expect someone to do somethin for nothin. Its not like a website designer can work TFP. May 02 06 01:06 pm Link And I'd like a toilet made out of gold, but that's just not in the cards is it baby! AP  May 02 06 01:07 pm Link sorry, i know you will get bashed for this post...try to find a college student or go to one of the free website links like freehosts.com or something like that. they have automated processes to build one without knowing how. May 02 06 01:11 pm Link Girl, your tripping bout that no compnsation....not trying to be mean..but you gotta give a lil to get a lil May 02 06 01:13 pm Link I'd say try and find a student who's willing to do freelance, or pay a professional to do it. Most people who actually have good web design and development skills are probably not willing or able to work for free... (lord knows *I'm* not able to!) May 02 06 02:29 pm Link I would love to help you in this area of your web design Mentor... May 06 06 07:27 am Link www.good-tutorials.com Some designers go step by step to help beginners with layouts and templates and such. You can find all the help you may need there and its free. May 06 06 11:15 am Link Tonight I went live with the site I made myself this week. It's my first attempt -- be kind... www.MollyBrenner.com I just took a quick and dirty 3 night class at the community college and went with it! It was hard, but the technical part will get easier with practice. I'm thinking of doing other sites now. Lemme know!

I know plenty of models who do web design and some of them needed portfolio shots and the photographer did wanted did not do TFP but needed a website.

I have DSL and I can look down the street and see the main hub in town so the connection is really good. Ease off on the flashing colors and such.

May 07 06 06:25 am Link I own a web design company. My site daxballadares.com was designed by my guys.. Whoever is interested i can give u a list of clients and list of websites done by us. May 07 06 06:27 am Link go to templatemonster.com or allwebco.com and buy a template. easy to customize and instructions included. you sould be able to handle it by yourself from there, but i would suggest having a graphics person do you a header at least so it looks pro.

May 07 06 06:40 am Link What kind of site are you looking for? Flash, html, php? The easiest way to make an html site is either to get a template or build it yourself as follow: 1) You need a host, get one from yahoo, it is like 9$ per month, you can get cheaper ones, but yahoo has so many features... 2) If you search in google, you can find many ready templates, or you need a program to build your own site, yahoo comes with yahoo site builder, it is a pretty easy program to use, even if it is your first time, you can still make a nice website with it. The other program which is easy to use is FrontPage. 3) Then you just upload the site, if you use the yahoo site builder or FrontPage; it is very easy to do so as they have a feature that does this. A professional site like MM is php, it is not easy to build one like MM on your own, and I am sure no one would spend so much time to build you a site like MM for nothing... So if you donât have the money to pay some one to build you a pro site, just go with the one I explained above, and If ever your site got popular, then you can spend money on it to improve it.

I think that if you spend $19.95 on your website, it will reflect that and people will not take u as seriously -i dont agree with that, but is the sad truth of life-. Save some money and spend a fair amount ( u dont have to spend $1000 ) so u get something u are proud of and something that sales. best, May 07 06 02:53 pm Link I just happened to see this post. The girl who did my website is schockboogieninja.com She came up with the whole theme based around me & my art. She was very helpful & patient with my lack of website understanding & my countless re-do's! lol. And the $ you pay goes toward a good cause, as she is working her way through school. I feel that she did a great job for alot less than most of the pro places wanted. And I am sure that they would not have been able to give my site the personal touch that it has, either. Hope this helps. May 07 06 03:00 pm Link |
Obviously if you are a complete novice when it comes to computers and html, you will have problems with a template, but since she's determined to do this by herself I would say a template would be a great start. My first site I built with no knowledge and just interwebbernet searchs and FrontPage, which I DO NOT recommend. Frontpage is a horrible program, both in terms of ease of use as well as all those funky things it does "automatically" to try and help you. I know I will have some people disagree with me but that's fine.
