Lets Get Started!

There are many good and bad pages of advice available about how to start a website, some are complex and others are just plain wrong. You will need to use your own judgment as to what you think is right (after all, it is you website so you can do what you want to!). This part of the website explains the outline steps for producing a website and getting it on the Internet. The steps detailed are quite straightforward, but necessarily only briefly here. However such a guide may be all that is needed to get you started.

You might like to start with a look at Cyndi's Home Page Construction Kit. Her website is clearly American-related, very detailed and perhaps a little out dated in places (she has been going since 1996 - a very long time in Internet terms) but there is more information in links and on her webpages than I could ever put here.
