Help I am still stuck on creating my web site!

If you have not been to a book store lately, such as Chapters, you will find that they have a very wide selection of Internet-related books. There are more than twenty-five different books which cover every aspect of website creation. 

HTML Tutorial Links

Writing Websites: This is a great all around website for learning how to create a website. You will learn how to create tables, use images, fonts and much, much more.

Web Monkey HTML Tutorial: A very well laid out website which explains all the aspects of creating a website. You can learn about JavaScript here and other advanced HTML techniques.

HTML Goodies: This site not only contains tutorials but information on every other aspect of creating websites. 

Bassems HTML Tutorial: A great site for people new to creating HTML. This site will explain how to code a website by hand and not with a WYSIWG editor.

Web Site Terms

URL (Uniform Resource Locator): The address that defines the route to a file on the web or any other Internet facility. URLs are typed into the browser to access web pages, and URLs are embedded within the pages themselves to provide the hypertext links to other pages.

HTML (Hypertext Markup Language):  The document format used on the World Wide Web. Web pages are built with HTML tags, or codes, embedded in the text. HTML defines the page layout, fonts and graphic elements as well as the hypertext links to other documents on the Web.

WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get): Pronounced "wizzy-wig." It refers to displaying text and graphics on screen the same as they will print. To have WYSIWYG text, there must be an equivalent screen font for each printer font used.

FTP (File Transfer Protocol)

Web Site Creation Software

The Internet is full of software that you can download to help you create your own web site. Axion has selected a small number of software that you can download directly from us. All of his software is unsupported by Axion technical support by telephone or email. To see or download this software, click here.

Web Site Tips

If this is your first time creating a web site it is best to keep it very basic at first. Start out with something that is very simple and then as you learn more you can always create a new version of your page.

If you have always wondered how someone has created a particular website, you can view there source code. If you are using Internet Explorer 5.5 or 6.0 you can see the source code by clicking on 'View' and then going to 'View Source'. If you are using Netscape, you can see the source code by clicking on 'View' and then 'Page Source'. This is one of the best ways to learn how something works.

You may also want to send email (if you have not done so already) to our help address at webtech@axion.net and ask your question there. If you still require help or if you just want to learn more about how to create a web site, please look below.
