fran Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 Hi everyone, just wondering if anyone has their own web site. I was thinking of making one. I don't know what for exactly, but I've always wanted to learn. Anyone have any advice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennifer Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 I have one. I got mine through Homestead and they have a site builder that helps you to create one, or they also have premade designs that you can use. I do not know all the programming stuff, so this was good.

sprinklz Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 Mine isn't up yet, but yes, I will have a site, for my business. I bought Dreamweaver (which has WYSIWYG capabilities, thank goodness) though I haven't started on the physical site yet, still in the gathering stage. It will be hosted through ProStores (an eBay company). It is exciting and nervewracking working on the idea alone - it should get more intense as time moves it more towards reality. Good thing I live for pressure.... ha! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[url="http://www.geocities.com/donna_murillo123/"]http://www.geocities.com/donna_murillo123/[/url][/quote] I agree, Yahoo Site Builder is an excellent tool if you are not familiar with XML code. The cost is resonable as well. I used it for quite some time when I was maintaining webpage for the preschool I was teaching at a while back. Easy to update and you can make it look pretty good. Another thing to consider is checking with your internet provider to see if they offer any free hosting space for your personal site. Many do. You can then use some simple web building programs to create your page. All that being said, I do not have one right now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest KellyW Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 I have a retail website that is not "digi scrap" related: www.gold-n-treasures.net. I have had it for about three years and am in the process of revamping the whole thing and moving to an entirely different line of stuff to sell. I am also working on a family site. I bought an html editor from www.coffeecup.com to do my family site. Very easy to use. They offer hosting services as well. I don't have it up yet....just not enough hours in the day !! My retail site is hosted and maintained by Sue at [url="http://www.web-designing.org"]http://www.web-designing.org[/url]. Her prices are very reasonable and she has done a very good job for me. Hope this helps. KellyW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brandiev Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 Having your own website is super easy nowadays...there is lots of sites, like Yahoo, who offer free sites and their programs for building the page is super simple. Another idea is to start a blog...it is also really easy to do -- [url="http://www.blogger.com"]http://www.blogger.com[/url] is one of the easiest to do. You can even start a blog here at Scrap Girls (see the blog link at the top of this page). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momentousangel Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 A great thing that I picked up a while back to help me design a few websites for my sis was a book on html. Made it so much easier for me, . Also, if you do a search on google you can also find some great tips and such for designing websites as well as the coding and also some neat little scripts for things like clocks and scrolling etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest roxanna Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 I build mine all using HTML... of course I learned the HTML in high school! I don't like the WYSIWYG programs... I had dreamweaver before and it just didn't help me out and didn't work out as good as doing all the writing HTML myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest heart*scrappin Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 Welcome Fran! You've already gotten some great advice here ... all I can add is - for personal sites, free is good - for business & professional sites, find a webhost & get your own domain name for a yearly fee - it's worth it to do it right the first time.

Guest Mingle Now Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 WYSIWYG is "what you see is what you get" Its an online CMS (Content Management System) which enables you to edit the text/content of the website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest brooklynbrat Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 I don't have one of my own yet but I did one for the NYPD Boxing Team and a friend's auto business. I maintain them both. You'd think since I went to school for web design, I'd have one wouldn't you? No time! I will be getting another one up and running soon though.

Guest LauraLynn Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 I decided to learn to write my own HTML code by hand too. It's really not that hard once you get the hang of it! There is an online school that is VERY reasonable... like $25 for a 6 week class! [url="http://www.lvsonline.com/"]http://www.lvsonline.com/[/url] And here's a great FREE site that I've learned a lot from: [url="http://www.lissaexplains.com/"]http://www.lissaexplains.com/[/url] Laura Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Scrapbook_Nook Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 I tried yahoo geocites & their builder. However, I wanted to apply my own & I had trouble doing it, as it wouldn't let me download anything from my computer. Nor did it tell me how And I was wondering if maybe there was some program that I should of had, that would of enabled me to upload my graphic's. Or if it is just a flake in their system, or me. It should have been easy & actually, I learn visually: LOL. I have some websites in regards to Forums & also Yahoo Groups. I find those ones do what I need them to do. However, I do hope to have one that I've learned to write & apply as I'm taking a class called HTML Guru's via yahoo groups. Once completed, then I hope to get another one up.

AmandaFace Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 I sure wont be any help for sure. I write my own code with notepad. hah. But I can say back in the day my very first page was on a free site. It makes it a lot easier to use builders and then switch to source and you can kinda learn that way.
