INTRODUCTION TO THE WORKSHOP

Welcome to your comprehensive Workshop on how to build a web site. Before we get started I just need to cover some basic uses of this EBook.
Up on the top right hand corner you will see your navigation tools. Some of the tutorials will take you into other sections so just use the arrows to return to your current lesson. Every page has a navigation side bar so you will never get lost. This also makes it simpler to progress at your own pace and also for referencing at a later date.

CREATING A WEB PAGE

Creating web pages is really quite easy and you should not be concerned about how to do the various functions as we cover everything you will need to know. There will be some practical work to help you with each step. It is also important to know that a web page is never finished. They are always works in progress. As you discover more you will want to add more features.

When I first started I had some text and a graphic on one page. Over time this has now blossomed into over 500 pages and multiple graphics. I have created pages for large companies, organisations and also individuals. I had no one to help me or provide information like you have here.

Learning Outcomes

After completing this workshop you will be able to compile a web site with a dozen or so pages complete with graphics, links and text. You will also be able to capture your visitors e-mail addresses and publish your pages to a website. We will use one of the free hosting programs for this. You will also discover ways to promote and advertise your site to generate traffic.

Navigation

All the links on the left for the workshop are in order so you can progress at your own pace. Do the examples and practice. Once you feel confident in each section branch out and try some other ways of doing the same thing.

Don't be scared of making mistakes because in most cases you can choose the undo function to take you back. This is especially useful when building pages as you can have a look at what it looks like first and if you don't like it you can try something different. Remember to save your work.

The Workshop

The workshop is the core of this ebook and is a fully interactive set of pages that will help you discover most of the major skills required to produce professional pages. While a little bit of computer knowledge and some artistic flare are preferable I have tried to accommodate every type of user.

You will find ways of building web pages with little or no artistic skill by using templates and graphic resources. There are many other sites that provide this type of information however very few give you the opportunity to practice as you are reading. Also by using certain software you can bypass the need for learning html. This means you can have a site up and running in a few hours. Each lesson will continue with a link like the one below.
