Welcome to my online web course

Why should you build a web site from scratch? Consider, first, some of the other possibilities: You could pay someone to design and write your site for you, but what is the sense in that! If its not what you want or need, you are no better off, besides being out of pocket.

The same, except for the expense, applies if a friend writes your web site. So it seems that you've got to take on the job for yourself.

How about using one of these fancy all-singing all-dancing WYSIWYG editors. Fine, but They are only as good as the day they were written. As the standards for HTML change, they go out of date and leave you with an expensive bill to get the newest version. In addition, somewhere along the line you are going to have to look at the raw stuff of web pages--HTML, otherwise known as 'hyper text mark up language'. One magazine reference said that about thirty per cent of the effort in producing a web site was in tackling HTML. Doesn't it make sense to learn and use this for all of your web site production?

The idea behind these online tutorials is that they should be interactive and to this end if you like the sample lessons, please register. There is an exercise that is suggested for you to do at the end of lesson 2. Please send it to me as an attachment to an email at:-


Should you find that this course is a bit heavy going. Please try the course at www. pagetutor.com. It was the tutorial that I learnt from and I still consult it from time to time. At the same time please let me know why this course was not what you wanted.
