Hello I'm New to this and I'm trying to build my own companies website. I have done all of my webpages through powerpoint and all but I just don't know what else to do and I was reading some of the forum and I read where I can use Mozilla and I downloaded it and tried using it but I can't still understand what is going wrong everytime I go to insert an image and place it somewhere it won't just let me. I know I might sound difficult but I'm just new to this and it's so difficult for me to do and I'm about to loooooooose my head over this website thing. If anyone can let me know what web builder would be more helpful and easy for me to use I would really appreciate it. My company is a pressure cleaner and Lawn care service company out in Florida. Thanks Liz

While Microsoft offers the ability create "web pages" in their office programs, they are not at all intended to be used for that purpose. It would be sort of like using a screw driver to chisel something out of wood.

You will want to use a program that is designed to create web pages. Programs like Front page (now called Expressions Web) from Microsoft and Adobe's Dreamweaver are probably the top two well known programs. Dreamweaver is practically the industry standard web design program, and it comes with an industrial price tag too!

Other programs are just as good, though don't offer quite the seemless operations as the two above. Programs like NVU (N-View) and HTML kit are two popular open source programs that work in similar fashion as Expressions and Dreamweaver.

I always tell people that are just getting into web design that learning the fundamental basics of web design will have nothing but positive effects on you in the long run. I suggest learning HTML and CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) to start off with. The site www.w3schools.com (http://www.w3schools.com) will provide excellent training for these and other web design languages.

In order to help you further, I am afraid you will have to elaborate on what exactly it is that is causing you problems. You said you have your web pages created. Are you having difficulty in uploading them to your web site? Are you asking how to remake the pages into proper HTML?

It might help to ask yourself what exactly you want to do so you will know what you need help with. Then come back here and be as specific as possible so others will know what information to give you.

i'm asking to make them into proper html and also how would i make my pages for instance you have your homepage but you have other pages where you want to link them to the homepage when people go onto your website and view the pages and still go back into the homepage and how would i upload my images properly on the pages so that when they are viewed by other it would look some what good.

If am understanding your post correctly, you want to know how to link to other pages on your website.

This is done using the <a> HTML tag. An example of its use is:

<a href="example.html">This is a link to example.html</a>

Obviously you would replace example.html with the page of your choosing.

Images are placed on your website in a similar way:

<img src="example.jpg">

As for making your web page look good, you need to use CSS [Cascading Style Sheets]. While this may sound daunting it is very easy to learn enough to start creating good looking websites.

As suggested you should take a look at the W3C website. They are responsible for updating HTML and CSS so are one of the best places you can go to learn HTML and CSS.
