The Complete Guide to Creating Websites


By Guard of Olympus







This is a thread dedicated to a turoial I am writing. It'll contain 25 parts that are all divided into posts. You can find the table of contents further down...
I don't know if there's a large intrest for this, but anyways, enjoy!




Intro One: Introduction

What is this?

This is a tutorial intended for the absolute beginner and it will teach you how to create a fully functioning website using modern standards such as HTML, CSS, Javascript and in the end we'll implement our website into a CMS making it easy to update.

Why are you doing this?

I thought it'd be cool to do a tutorial on making websites because so few know how to create a nice site even though it's very simple. I've also been thinking about creating a blog and I'll be able to post this tutorial as content on that blog. I also think people from these forums can benefit from learning these things, it might also generate some more activity here on the forums which I guess would be nice.

How many parts will you write?

I've planned to write 25 parts, one or two a week so it'll take quite a lot of time to finish, but it'll be great to try out this project.

Do you need any help?

Yes, I'd like some help with a couple of things:


  • Spellchecking - I'm not natively english

  • Feedback - If something's confusing or wrong, please tell me about it

@Expert and je with the Odin icon | Hey guys, thanks for the motivation, just what I needed! FYI I've been looking at screen recording software so that I can easily show you the creation of the mockup without having to write every single step.

@valhal | Thanks! Looks as if you're not the one I thought you were at first.

Hypercam and CamTasia beg to differ.

“And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music.”

I'm running a trial version of camtasia now, perhaps that'll be useful.
