i can send you the studio mx disk (includes dreamweaver) and the manual i borrowed from the college library and forgot to return. its a pre adobe copy, macromedia studio mx. all you ever need for websites pm me if you want it

lol i actually started making a website for a wrought iron company that i worked for before. I would recomend using something like frontpage to learn and advance onto something a bit more technical

so, lemme get this right, ya write it all in code ?
ya dont colour shit in , or add text as such, its all in code, then when ya "RUN IT" it displays a web page ?

yep all is coded
phped is a good tool coz u got color to identifie your code strings
you'll get something like that html body your code here /body /html
with differnet colors for any part of your code
then you run it with IE for example and it gives you a webpage
tht's tricky to explain in english for me btw

dreamweaver does the code for ya! you only need to use the code if you want to use something not in dreamweaver!

yea dreamweaver gives you the option of a gui or text

thanks guys but seems to be going over my head atm lol :s
k, well, looks like i might have to draft in a PRO lol, but, stilll, gunna give it a look into tommoz early get up for me, gunna get billy to wake me at 9

I would recommend some basic code before just using a program for it. You can make a simple website with just few images and a little bit HTML.

http://www.w3schools.com/html/default.asp

There's some step by step tutorials and you can browse the others from the left side panel. Also it is fairly easy to use the sample codes just on the notepad and then saving the file as .html Actually every sample on that site has the button "Try it yourself" and that shows you the result of saving that particular code as .html

Just start it small without having great plans for a website right away.

mine costs me 50 pound a year and can have catalogue pages and alsorts. mine is just a basic one like but ya can look if ya like www.cj-bridalgowns.co.uk see what type of pages and stuff you get.

If there isn't need for the webshop then that website wouldn't be too hard to make. Of course simple websites don't cost too much either since just the hosting costs some bit.

Btw CJ I don't want to be rude but the text on the info pages are a bit messy and I would put the post and pricing info on it's own "order info" page. This being if I'd look at it from customer's view. Could propably be made more clear with few small touches.
