So…I have been given the task of updating my company website (a non-profit for troubled kids). I have a username and password….but don’t know anything about web design. Can someone point me in the right direction to teach myself how to do this? Also, do I need Dreamweaver or FrontPage (isn’t that out of date now?) or Adobe contribute?

Thank you for any advice!

I was looking for a website or something that has free eBay templates that you can use to make auction listings? I just want my auctions to look like they are designed better. Any ideas would be appreciated!

Can anyone please make text in photoshop saying ‘The Great Escape’ in three different lines and I would like it to be something similar to this:

My mother is looking to redesign her website, however, the woman who designed her website in the first place will not return her calls. We do not have any of the information on how to access the site and change it. My finace would love to help her out with it, but we just don’t know how to. Any suggestion??

Where do I start? I have done some website design in the past but no logos…

Could any one help by reccomending a reasonable hosting company, that will build a website, with autoresponder and then host the site.

I’ve got a master page which creates the templates for all my other pages which i then just enter in text basically. However, I need some content to be constant across some pages but not others, so the easiest method i could think of was having a master page still, and having a place holder (or the equivalent of) which links to a single file, containing all the information for that place holder. However, this would need to be picked up by the actual pages loading.

To try and explain, my case is i have a basic website, with different adds and pictures dotted around. This template will be created by the master page. However, my navigation links need to change depending on what section they are in, so to do this i was going to have a few seperate files which contain the information for the different links, and then just have this appear in the master page.

Hopefully ive explained this well enoguh for someone to understand! Help very much appreciated!
In reply to GintrichsGotWood:

The idea of multiples master pages would be nice, however this would mean if i ever changed the overall layout i would need to do this numerous times, something which i was hoping to avoid! (As is kind of the idea of a master page). So in a sense i need a master page embedded in a master page, unless this is what you meant if so how is this done??

Hey what i don’t understand is php? what can you do with it? i know its surver sided, ok for all websites you need html? or what can you have php with no html? can you design the look and all with php? i don’t think so, aren’t basic html websites just frozen and nothing changes until the owner makes something and uploads it to the host or something right? but is php what users can change things in, and is not frozen, like on forums everyone can create an account and say something and then it changes for everyone, so it’s not frozen, but can you have a moving clock or something on a non php site? not counting perl, i mean on just a html website, but what about counters, can you put them on html? how does this work, what do you use php for? what about wikepidea, is that on some server sided like php? or what about does it upload as soon as you write something? damm i don’t understand so please help me, and explain to me, couse im new, but i know html fully and css, i just learned them

I’m trying to set up a website, nothing special, just testing out my newly learnt skills. I’m practicing by making a site offering my web design services, but i won’t really be using it.
I’m studying from w3schools, and have only done X/HTML & CSS so far.
I’m trying to get ideas about what a web designer should put on the homepage/site
So far…
Homepage - I have three short paragraphs explaining what the site is about and what is on offer.

Links to other pages (not made the pages yet) (hosting/domain name - these pages will have links to hosting companies and Domain Name providers)

I have yahoo’d and google’d ‘web designers’ to get some ideas and with respect, some sites are just cr@p.

Can i be really cheeky and see some of your sites (if you are web designers by trade)?
Is there any thing in particular i need to add?
Is it ok to use tables instead of frames/nav bar as i hate them with a passion?

Thank you in advance.
