The best way to start building

[Jenniferlinn]

hello.

Hello.
I am new here and appologise if this is a silly question.
What is the best way to start building websites. What i mean by this is it best to just use coding or use a program like Microsoft publisher / dreamweaver.
I did a website about 3 years ago using frontpage. It came out well but lacked the pro feel. Prob could of made it look better if i had used better design concepts and thought about it a bit more.
I have decided that i really want to get into web design.
I am a 35 year old full time dad so going to college is out. What is the best way to get started and best products to use.

If you are new to webdesign then download free html templates and modify it using dreamweaver and for image editing you can use photoshop

I think you should go with ASP.NET ...
Because it is very easy to learn and
it provides better performance.

I agree with valendino To get started look at downloading existing templates or purchasing them and modifying them. A much better language than ASP .Net to learn would be PHP , it has been a web standard for a decade now and is not tied to MS proprietary ways.

As for modifying pages/templates Dreamweaver is a good program to use.
