StangGt804 · **Does anyone know how to create a website?**

I want to create a website with video clips, pics, and links on it! But i have no clue to how its done?? Do i need to buy some software or can i build it from scratch?? Also how would you upload video clips onto my pc?? PLEASE HELP if you can!!!

juanmiguel · Hi

well, you could build a regular website with just a text editor, but that would require a lot of work.
I build my sites with a lot of media and flash so what it works best for me is dreamweaver.
There are other programs like FrontPage but ican't comment on it because dreamweaver does everything i need.
Well after you desing your website you should look for some web hoster to upload your site unless you are planing to host your own page, but that's a lot of trouble.
Doing a basic web site is not that hard, but if you want it to look good and have lots of media, prepare to spend some good hours on reading.

hmm well we are working on allowing you to upload video and pictures to our garage area.

As far as creating a web page....

google is your friend

You don't just learn it over night it takes alot of learning the code etc

www.htmlgoodies.com is a start

then you need a web server to host the site....

as far as getting video onto your computer it depends on the camera

You probably need a video/audio capture card if your video camera isnt usb

From the looks of the car your modeling I can imagine how good the websites are lol

StangGt804 · 01-03-2005, 02:43 AM

Cant find any downloads???How much does this software run you?? And whos cars??

juanmiguel · **wow**

Thanks Brent, if this one turns out good, i'll model all the mustang's generations.

And well, the websites i have done are on the average i think.
I stoped doing it, because now clients are expecting much more work for much less money, there are kids doing websites almost for free now, and i cant's afford wasting my time for a couple dollars.
It used to be a good side job, but now it's way over done

.

By the way, this is the must active forum i''v ever seen, you get answers and replies in less than a minute.
wow

We try

I can imagine it not being easy to have a good career doing websites alone... I am going to college for a computer science degree and this summber will be taking web development classes.

What I really need to learn is photoshop and image editing. It would be nice to be able to have more of my own work put into my site from myself. If I had could use photoshop and do the images for this site I know I could help Smurfin out a ton as far as that goes. I just can't seem to grasp it and make it do what I want it to... frustrating

For me to learn stuff like that I need someone with me taking me step by step over everything...
