Series Summary

Have you been dreaming about having an internet presence but don’t know the first thing about how to make a website? Sure, you’ve probably managed to navigate the basics of MySpace or Facebook, but now you find a pre-configured web page design and narrow functionality limiting—it stifles your creative vision. You long for radio buttons and drop down menus; you pine for a proprietary domain name, and for a CSS that isn’t based on creating epileptic attacks with a thousand flashing advertisements. You need the flexibility—and pride—that comes with creating your very own website, whether for personal use alone, as an online business, or for any other endeavor under the sun.

Well fret no longer, my friend. In this free online website design and development tutorial, our expert will show you just how to make your own website. He’ll walk you through the fundamentals of laying out your basic page flow design, how to create a homepage with umph, how to digitally edit and upload photos and artwork, how to make a banner, add video, make a drop down box, radio buttons, an email link, request forms, and even how to optimize your site with keywords that search engines like Google find you, thus driving more traffic to your very own web domain.

"Hi. I'm Dorian Winterfeld on behalf of Expert Village. I've been doing web programming for about ten years. And today we are going to cover the basics of HTML. Okay. HTML stands for Hyper Text Mark-up Language, H-T-M-L. It is the language of the world wide web. It's what all the web pages are written in. To find out everything you ever want to know and more about HTML, you would go to this website: www.w3.org/Markup. And, we can go to it and it is going to tell you, again, everything you'd ever want to know. This is the website of the world wide web consortium. They're the people who define what HTML is and everything else on the web. There's a lot of theory behind HTML and we're not going to go into that today. We're just going to cover the basics to get you up and running as quick as we can. "
