HTML - How Do You Start Building You Page?

Ok gentlemen, here's my situation. I am by trade a Pc/laptop repair/upgrade tech but since tech's are dime a dozen here in NY the business is no longer what it was years ago so I have to branch out into some other line of work to support myself and family, I am 48 years old so time is not on my side, I intend on becoming a webmaster becuase I like it and also because this field would allow me to work from my home office taking whatever jobs I can find locally. I do have a little experience in web design having designed a couple of sites in the past using templates but not the coding I had not done which is why I decided to start from scratch to build a good foundation.

It is my intention to keep on studying, I will have completed the XHTML/CSS course in the next day or so and I was advised here that Javascript should be my next logical move then PHP... but I am thinking since I am getting offers for small jobs locally here that I should first try to gain some practical experience building some actual sites while I am studying from the web design book THEN when I am finished with that which shouldn't take long move on to Javascript.

Do you guys think this is the best move for me or should I complete Javascript and PHP first THEN go into actual web designing? Any thoughts/advice will be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Ok I can't provide a picture to my layout as it is kept secret. But I created a layout in photoshop. I do have the Adobe Master Collection. Anyways, after had created my website layout I want to be able to type text over the images and be able to create a password and login field over an image. And I was wondering how do I do it in Dreamweaver? It seems like a very complicated program. Everytime I want to insert something over an image in the layout it breaks up all the sliced images and all the images are spaced out. Below is an image of the login and password field but it's just one image. How do I make it so that you'll be able to type text into them? Doesn't have to be in Dreamweaver if there is an easier way.

Hi, I am building a site from some artwork that was supplied to me for a website that will ultimately be transformed into a theme for silverstripe but now the client has changed their mind and wants a static HTML version put into immediate action for the time being... problem is that the design is giving me massive headaches in building the basic structure for the site. There are aspects of the design that I am struggling to re-build, such as diagonal lines that stretch from one menu to another... Can any one help suggesting answers to such problems... Have attached some of the code and a PDF of the example artwork (please note I have been construction and reconstructing / deconstructing this code for a few days now and I fear it is beginning to look like it -messy )...

Any help greatly appreciated...

I have a timesheet template that I have converted from word to html. I'd like to make it so users can type onto the sheet though and print it off showing their name/hours/dates etc. The template is similar looking to this


!! Company Logo !!
Contact details, fax number, telephone numbers etc

Contracted company -------
Contractors Name -------
==================
Day Date Hours
Mon --- ---
Tue --- ---
Wed --- ---
Thu --- ---
Fri --- ---
Sat --- ---
Sun --- ---
==================
Total hours worked -----

I have a feeling this can be done using javascript but havent a clue how. Or, can I just make text boxes that allow a user to type into but wont be shown on the print out?

I'd like it so only the timesheet is printed off with all the entered data rather than any other parts of the website.

I'm Jamie-Grace and I need some help with Network Building - fast!

I run an organization for teens with Tourette Syndrome, like myself, called "teensWts" (Go figure, lol.) and I'm looking to expand it and make it network type site but not just for Tourette Syndrome.

I want people to be able to join and create profiles with some of the profiles being "fan profiles" and some of them being profiles for organizations that people can "become fans of". So it would sort of be like how MySpace has music profiles and regular ones and the people with the regular accounts can be fans of the bands except I want my site to be organizations instead of music.

I don't know how much time or money (if any money is needed..hopefully not, ha.) this type of thing would take, but I would really appreciate any type of advice in the area. I have been trying to do this for months now and I can't seem to get a good response as far assistance.

Thank you so much in advance!

I'm currently building a website using Photoshop and Dreamweaver, this is my first time using em both but i'm having a problem. When I run it through dreamweaver the page looks and lines up fine if I don't add any links http://server61.urldownload.com/test/home.html but as soon as I add any links the page goes to crap. http://server61.urldownload.com/test2/home.html How can i get rid of the purple box and line up the page correctly?

I'm building a website to sell online and I want my product page to work in the same way as this one:

http://www.cougar-extreme.co.uk/comp...ries_ddr3.html

I can see that they are using javascript there, but I want to ask if that is the best or only way to do that. Mainly, can anyone can point me in the direction of how to do it?

I am using a flash intro for the site, so I can assume most people on the site viewing it properly will have flash installed.

I have a pretty good grasp of HTML and CSS, but very little experience doing anything similar to this and I'd appreciate any help or advice given.

Thanks!

K so I decided to venture into the proxy business. I work deskside support for a living but I haven't really done anything with websites since college and so I've got just a passing familiarity with HTML. Right now I've got a Glype script uploaded to the domain and it's functional but it's a php file and I'm not sure how to integrate it with HTML to make this a well-rounded site with banners and such. I'm guessing the php script can be pasted into html in some fashion but each time I've tried it doesn't work. Can someone give me a leg up?

Ok, new to the boards here. I'd appreciate some help regarding a website i am building.

I have a question due to my lack of advanced html knowledge, but am a quick learner.

Does anyone know how to build a quality visitor counter? I know they have the free one's online, but i want something that integrates well into the site and looks like it belongs there.

I'm sure i'll have some more questions later.

I had created a similar thread here a while back but that was regarding site "maintenance". I am now bidding for my first paid job locally here in NY but this is all I have to go on from the person:

The work on my website will require flash/animation inserts. They will be self-building PowerPoint slides. Which of your samples includes or comes closest to that?
You must give me a maximum compensation figure if you want to be considered.

I had told him that I cannot give a price without knowing all details, how many pages, images, if the need animation e.t.c and I still don't know but that is mainly how it's done here in NY, people tell you next to nothing and ask you what you will charge, how would you guys handle this please?

hello,
I'm new to HTML programming, but I'm old to C programming. My question is how can i write something through NAMO WEBEDITOR that satisfy my need. My need is just to write a text in my web page where anyone can add something to it. It's more or less similar to wikipedia but only add something at the end of the text.

Thanks in advance

Hi, I have a system that was written in html code for a touch screen kiosk in a visitor center. My problem is that the game is outdated and I am trying to upgrade, but have little to no knowledge of html. I have everything right I think except for getting a sound to play while a picture is showing then fading to the picture of the bird (It's a bird quiz). Can anyone help me with this?
