Making A Webpage

[Mini Anden]

Hello everybody

I want to learn how to make a simple webpage, that works on computers, tablets, and smart phones.

I want it to be secure so that I can sell things on it.

What would I need to learn to make a simple site such as;

https://www.gyroscope.com/

Even more complicated;

http://www.nike.com

or even a video hosting site such as youtube

I live in south australia, by the way, so does anybody know of any courses that would cover everything? tafe? uni? wea?

If not in a classroom setting, how would I go about learning everything required at home, and what programs do I need to know?


Thank you

I am building a website right now (literally as we speak!) on Adobe Muse - I highly recommend checking it out! You can build sites without coding. http://www.adobe.com/uk/products/muse.html

You can easily build sites for desktop, smartphone and tablet with that. I got it with my Adobe CC subscription.

I learned it by reading Adobe Muse Classroom in a Book and doing the exercise files the book comes with. I completed the whole book in 2 days. The Classroom in a Book series from Adobe are fantastic!

Thanks spirit, do you know if that gives a better result than dreamweaver?

It's probably easier than Dreamweaver, I looked at that link that Spirit provided. Looks really good.

Depends how good you are at coding, as Dreamweaver requires code.

It is easier than Dreamweaver. I have used both.

What took me several weeks and a lot of reading to accomplish in Dreamweaver I did in two days with Muse. And I made mobile and tablet versions of my site on Muse.

If you want to check out the Muse site I did, check out http://www.bidwell-joinery.co.uk. Visit it on your smartphone and tablet and it should take you to the mobile versions.

It's a relatively simple website I made for a client with not a lot of content, but you get the idea. I originally made it in Dreamweaver months ago but remade it in Muse over the weekend. It was so easy and fun!

The next site to convert to Muse is this one http://www.browntech.co.uk - this is the website for my father's IT business that I made in Dreamweaver.

Correct.

If you love design and want to make a website by dragging and dropping content, then go with Muse.

If you can code and want to make a website by code or want to learn to code websites, then go with Dreamweaver or Sublime Text.

I found coding sites good fun and I am taking coding classes at school now, but I like the 'hassle-freeness' and design elements of Muse, so I am sticking with that for web design I think.

How is Dreamweaver when working on a Bootstrap based website? Has anyone got any experience?

No idea. Not used it with those sites. If you want to find out I guess you can download and install a trial of it and see?
