The html editor is
usually a website design software that has a GUI (graphic
user interface) which makes it easier to create website using the File Menus. This is good for the
non-programmers and non-technical people.
There are lots of software for website design, like
BlueVoda MS
Frontpage, Dreamweaver which are widely used. however,
there are lots of web page design software you can buy.
I prefer BlueVoda because I learned it and got it
for free when I took my web design certificate at
Education direct school.
There is another way to edit and build web pages beside
using a software. If you are a programmer, and know how
to code html, you can use any text editor like notepad
to edit or create website.
Just open a notepad window, and type the html code, and
save it as .html file instead of .txt extension. This is
it, you created a webpage.
Please note as the webpage becomes more complicated and
has many files of different types, building a webpage
from raw html code will be a daunting task. Even if you
are a programming, and know how to write with html code,
it well take lots of effort, time, and aggravation to
build a webpage of little complexity.
So, in your case, it is a wise decision to buy a
software with graphic interface in order to learn faster
and be more productive.
Even with a software, it will take a while and lots of
practice to be comfortable with building web pages.
As a beginner, there is an excellent solution to
building your own web pages ,without knowing any html
codes, and without even buying any software I was
mentioning before.
Here is the solution:
Some web hosting
service providers offer with your web hosting account,
what is called as web page templates.
Usually the cost is very reasonable, and many times you
can pick a
hosting
package that includes web page templates.
That only costs couple dollars per month unless your web
hosting provider is charges more than most web hosts
providers.
A webpage / website template is a wizard like
application where you fill in text, images, files in few
steps and when you click finish, you web page will be
ready.Learning
html is like learning another language, but it can be
attained fairly quickly right from your computer. There
are many tutorial programs that will teach you
everything. html stands for HyperText Markup Language
and it is all about making your letter, list, or
document readable, and positioned in a certain manner,
create website by the computer. html created little
"tags" that are attached to the written text, and is
necessary if you want to design your own web page
because the markup tags tell the Web browser how to
display the page. It positions the text where you want
it on the page. Without this markup language to
"explain" the locations of text, it would simply appear
in wrap style. An html file must have an htm. Extension
on the file when it is created, to identify it and a
file can be created by using a simple text editor. html
is the universal markup language for the web, and it
allows you to create website, format text, add graphics,
create links, input forms, frames and tables, etc., and
save it so that any browser can read and display. The
key is learning the tags which are used and this is what
the tutorials will teach you - all the tags and their
applications.
The tags are important and are used to markup the html
elements which are surrounded by two characters which
direct it. The surrounding characters are called angle
brackets, and would look like, < and >. These usually
come in pairs, one at the beginning of the "element
content" or the text, and one at the end, like < b > the
house is on a hill < /b > This is a small glimpse into
html. But the funny thing is, just like every other part
of the computer world, there is now a "new"
html called
Xhtml. So, just when you think you've got it - they come
up with a better one! Doesn't it figure? Not to worry,
there are tutorials for both types now on the web, so
you can take your choice. The noticeable difference is
that Xhtml is somewhat cleaner and stricter than the
html, but still very similar. |
