Hi Everyone, Hope everyone is doing great. Let me share my concern. Although developed many websites for my clients never had one as my personal page. I have been running behind a domain for quite a long time and atlast I managed to get it. Now the problem is about design and stucture. I do have a design in my mind. Then again the last part left. What all should I contain in my website. Mainly am trying to build a site for all who know me. Where one can talk to me and to my friends, where they can share their pics, thoughts etc. I plan to go with a gallery, a blog a simple forum(may more simpler than phpBB), a poll section. But am confused seeing all these scripts around. Could you please guide me to build my dream website. Am not good in writing but I am sure I will be able to get my thoughts into your mind. Regards Ciril
OK, I saw a "dream site" earlier today that kind of resembles what you're talking about (I'm in no way affiliated with this guy): http://www.markjoyner.name/testmt/logs/ It combines a forum, blog, etc. Unfortunately, I don't know how to go about building a site like this. If this is what you're looking for, other people will probably be able to give you the technical advice you need.
1. Firstly, you want to figure out what you want in your webpage right?? so make you pick something that will keep you interested so you will keep updating and such..for example..if you were interested in photoshop and graphics, making a website thats all about your own work will be something you can always keep updating. 2. After you figure out what type of website you want, you now decide whether you want it to be done via flash, html, dhtml, php etc. For those who are interested in animation and multimedia/sounds..it would probably be better to use Flash, however most viewers would prefer as little flash used as possible due to page loading time etc. if you are not as experienced in flash, you can make a simple javascript or HTML website which easier to update with. 3. Now it is time to decide on what your website will look like. This is very important because people tend to judge websites by the look of it. Draw a template of your website on a piece of paper with the types of images/text in the area you want them to be. Now it is time to draw up a website structure plan. This is where you decide how many links you want, and where you want each page to link to. 4. Its now time to make your website. From here on, depending on what type of website you are making (html, flash etc..) you choose a specific software to create your website. For example, Dreamweaver, Macromedia Flash, Photoshop, Paintshop Pro etc. I hope this guide has helped you. Goodluck on your website! if there is anything that you are not sure or unclear about, or if there is anything that i missed, please feel free to ask questions or email me at .
