Once you have learnt HTML, the tools that we are going to show
you
in this section will make much more sense. These tools will help you to
make your website at a much faster speed and much more easily.
A WYSIWYG Editor!
I know the wired name might have scared you. But do not worry.
It’s a very simple name.
WYSIWYG stands for "What You See Is What You Get!"
You probably find this a little weird, but that is exactly
what it
stands for. Computer geeks are a little cool. They give fun names to
everything.
So what is a What You See Is What You Get Editor?
A WYSIWYG editor makes it very simple for you to make web pages. It
makes it very easy to design websites without bothering too much about
HTML. It’s like word or some other simple program. To make
the
web page you just have to select the pictures you want to put, put the
text you want to put in, decide how it looks and all that. You
don’t have to bother about writing the HTML for the website.
You
just decide the colors, fonts, sizes and all the looks, the program
writes the HTML code for you. Cool isn’t it!
Even though it is possible to make a website only using a WYSIWYG
editor, you must still learn HTML. Many a times you want to
“fine
tune” your website or do certain things that the program
cannot
handle, then you need to use hard-core HTML.
So now probably the name WYSIWYG makes a little more sense. What you
see on the screen as you make the website is what you will get in the
final web page.
Here
is a very good free of charge WYSIWYG editor. This is the editor that
is used to make this website. It’s called NVU. Check out
their
website for more info.. http://www.nvu.com/
Once you download it, and after learning HTML, this editor is very easy
to use.
Website Templates
There are many websites on the Internet that will provide you
with
free website templates. These are basically completely designed blank
templates that can be filled with your information and your content and
your website. The cool thing about these templates is that they are
very easy to use if you have a WYSIWYG Editor and know the basics of
HTML.
Another great thing about these templates is that they look great and
are professionally designed. So you do not have to design you website
from scratch. This saves you a whole lot of time and money. There are
thousands of templates available on the Internet of all shapes sizes
colors etc. You can easily find one that looks cool and matches your
business and theme.
In case you are still not clear about what templates are, check out
