How to Design a Simpe Personal Webpage

Creating a website can be very easy or very hard, depending of what you want. If you want a professional webpage, it'll take a lot of time and you'll need a lot of skill. I can't teach you all but we'll begin with basics.

Concept

First you have to decide what kind of page you want. If you want a page with information about you or your company go with static webpage. But if you want a forum or blog like page with login and comments go with harder dynamic webpage.

Joomla!

I can't learn you how to create a dynamic webpage, but if you realy want it try Joomla! Joomla! is a free management system written in PHP. It stores data in MySQL. If you want to learn it, go to Joomla! site and download it. You can find all templates, tutorials and a guide how to set it up. It's hard to learn, but after thatit gets easier.

Static webpage

So you determine to build your very firs static webpage. Static webpage is usually written in HTML. First we have to learn some basics of HTML.

HTML

HTML stands for HyperText Markup Language. It's build of blocks. We'll learn some of them.

First, open up the notepad. Write or copy this in:

Now save it as index.html. Thats very important. The index page must be always named index.html.

This is how the basic HTML code look like. You may think it's pretty complicated, but it's not.

As you see all the HTML code is written within these "brackets" : (I dont know how they're called, Ill use the word brackets) Let me explain. All the orders must be written inside these brackets. The text outside the brackets will be seen as text.

- this begins the webpage. Every HTML based webpage contains this. - this is the head of the webpage. - this names your webpage.

As you may probably find out all of the blocks have their ends. The block ends same as it starts, you just put slash before world inside brackets.

Something - this is the end.

Well only learn how to create a heading and a hyperlink.

Explanation:

- this is the heading 1. You could put in the number 2 for heading 2 and so on. - a basic link. url stands for any url you want. The text between will be showed on a page.

For more HTML learning go to page: /html/

So, we learned some basics of HTML language. Now we can go to easier ways of creating a webpage.

Dreamweaver

Dreamweaver is probably the most popular program for creating web pages. Its easy to use and can satisfy even a professional webpage designer. But its not free. Actually its pretty expensive. You may buy it if you need it. But there are competitive programs which are free.

NVU

NVU is a free program. You can design pretty simple pages. Its easier than Dreamweaver, but it has limits. Its open source program and its getting better and better. I recommend you to try it and if it not satisfies your needs, then go with Dreamweaver.

This was a short guide into a world of creating web pages. I hope you learned something new. Im always ready to help, so send me an email or post below and Ill help you.

How to Lose Weight Fast, Free, and Quick

You don't need fancy gadgets, pills, or exercise (but getting the books from your local library would help). Below are summaries of some of the most popular and effective low carb and low fat diets to melt off pounds fast, without spending a dime.

LOW CARB, ATKINS

I must admit, I'm partial to this diet, because after the birth of my daughters it helped me to lose 50 pounds in just a couple of months.

THE PHILOSOPHY: Most overeaters are in a continuous state of hyperinsulinism, which converts excess carbohydrates to fat. Insulin regulates blood sugar levels. By controlling your intake of carbohydrates, you can manage your insulin and force your body to burn fat for energy, giving you a metabolic advantage which results in weight loss and better health.

HOW TO DO IT: Food is unlimited, and you are instructed to eat whenever you are hungry, until you are full. There is no counting calories, but you must count your carbohydrates. You can have unlimited amounts of fat, oil, and meat, with moderate portions of leafy greens, eggs, heavy cream, and cheese. You are NOT allowed grains, most fruits, starchy vegetables, or sugar. Carbohydrates are limited to 20 grams per day in the first 2 weeks, and come mostly from salad. After the 2 week induction, you gradually add back food types at a rate of 5 grams per week until you find your ideal intake for losing weight.

OFFICIAL BOOK/S: The New Diet Revolution (1992), by Robert C. Atkins. Dr Atkins' Diet Revolution (1972), by Robert C. Atkins.

LOW CARB, SOUTH BEACH

THE PHILOSOPHY: The South Beach Diet blends the carb-controlling principles of Atkins with the traditional fat-controlling principles of most low fat diets, with the aim of gaining the health benefits of both. Because of this, it is often the low carb plan recommended by doctors.

HOW TO DO IT: You get 3 meals a day, and 3 snacks, with no counting of carbs or calories. The food choices are generally high in protein and fiber, but low in carbs and saturated fat. You may eat seafood, chicken, turkey breast, eggs, and lots of vegetables. You also get moderate amounts of fruit, nuts, low fat meats, whole grains (pasta, bread, and rice), olive oil, and red wine. You are NOT allowed refined grains (white flour), sugar, fruit juice, potatoes, regular dairy, fatty meats, or beer.

OFFICIAL BOOK: The South Beach Diet : The Delicious, Doctor-Designed, Foolproof Plan for Fast and Healthy Weight Loss (2003), by Arthur Agatston, MD.

LOW FAT, ORNISH

PHILOSOPHY: This is probably the best known all-vegetarian diet on the market. Dr. Ornish believes a strict low fat vegetarian diet is the best way to reverse and prevent heart disease, and to manage weight.

HOW TO DO IT: There is no calories restriction, so you eat until you are full. Your food should consist of vegetables, fruit, and whole grains. The emphasis should be on vegetables, but you are also allowed whole grain bread, natural fruit juices, and potatoes. You are NOT allowed meat, fish, poultry, fats, oils, seeds, avocados, nuts, or refined carbohydrates (white sugar, white flour, white rice, etc). Dairy is limited to fat free yogurt and milk, fat free cheeses, and egg whites. Basically, cut out all the fat!

OFFICIAL BOOK: Eat More, Weigh Less: Dr. Dean Ornish's Program for Losing Weight Safely While Eating Abundantly (2001). By, Dr. Dean Ornish.

LOW FAT, CABBAGE SOUP

PHILOSOPHY: Soup, soup, and more soup. The idea is that vegetable soup is very filling and low in calories and fat, so if you consume a huge amount of it, you will lose weight. This plan is typically for short periods of weight loss, typically being done for just 1 week.

HOW TO DO IT: There are numerous varieties of this plan. In general you make a big batch of soup which includes low calories vegetables like cabbage, celery, onions, tomatoes, etc. The broth may be watered down tomato juice or onion soup base. No potatoes or starchy veggies. You can have an unlimited amount of this during the day. On the first three days, you can also eat unlimited fruit and non-starchy veggies. On the fourth day, you can also eat bananas (no more than 6). On day 5 and 6, 20 ounces of protein (meat or fish). On day 7, some fruit juice and up to 2 cups of brown rice. After this, it's back to normal eating habits.

OFFICIAL BOOK: To my knowledge, there is none, but many websites give their own variations.

Top 10 Things To Remember When Choosing a Web Design Company

Choosing a website design company is by no means an easy task. The market is full of new and established companies, all with different price brackets that are fighting to get your hard earned cash. So what can you do to make sure you pick the right one? As with anything you are taking a bit of a chance, but the great thing about web companies is that they should have some sort of a reputation, which with some of these techniques you can investigate and use to your advantage.

1.)Check Their Portfolio

A portfolio is a web companys demonstration of their previous work. This will usually show all of their websites that they have designed and built. Be careful to analyse these, check for bugs, speed issues and general overall standard of the website.

2.)What Do Their Existing Clients Think?

Its vital to find out as much information as possible on the potential company. Scour review websites like Trust Pilot and search for reviews on the company. Try searches like company name reviews and you should be able to get some results back depending on the size of the company.

3.)Do They Outsource Their Work?

This is a common occurrence in many web design companies at the moment. The sales are all done locally, i.e. in the United Kingdom and all of the support, design and development work is outsourced to countries like India, Romania and Lithuania. Its not essential that they dont do this, but often if the support is outsourced, it can be time consuming because of the language barrier when your explaining things. More importantly, if they outsource their design and development work, this means that their costs will be a lot lower. This is due to the lower cost of employment in lesser established countries. Barter with them and use this as justification for a price decrease. Only if you think it is appropriate.

4.)What Support Do You Get?

From time to time problems will inevitably arise and you will need to change the text for a link or alter an image. Make sure that the company states clearly what will count as support and what will be paid work. Also, make sure that you know how many hours that you will get from your support agreement with them.

5.)What is the chain of command?

When a problem arises and you need to speak to someone in charge, it is reassuring that you can pick up the phone and speak to them directly without having to wait for an email response. Find out who is responsible for issues related to support, payment and hosting etc and how you can contact them should there be any problems.

6.)Make Sure You Agree All Work Before Paying A Penny

Once you decide on your chosen web company, make sure that you receive a full website specification that will list every little part of functionality and design in the website. If you are not happy with it or there is something missing, discuss this with them. If they wont include it or alter it, take your business elsewhere.

7.)Find Out What Happens If You Want To Terminate Your Agreement With Them.

It may be possible that your company expands massively and you decide to move the website to an in-house service within your company. Find out what their terms are and any costs involved if you decide to do this further down the line.

8.)What Happens If The Website Goes Down Or A Problem Arises Over The Weekend?

Most web companies only operate during the working week (Monday Friday), but as you will probably be aware, websites operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Make sure that you know what will happen should your website go down or a critical problem arises out of hours and at weekends.

9.)Dont Pay Everything At Once

This is a huge point. Whatever you do, do not pay for all of the website build upfront. If something goes wrong during the build process, you could loose your money. Web companies will usually ask you to complete the payment in stages during the build cycle. Usual payments are half upfront and half on completion.

10.)Dont Rush

You could be using this website for your business for a very long time. Therefore its critical to make the write decision to pick the company that is right for you. If a company is charging low prices, this does not necessarily mean that they are a company of poor quality. Likewise, if a company charges high prices, this does not necessarily make their websites perfect. Take your time and do plenty of research.

Catchy Web Design Against Excellent Functionality

The hot debate of design or functionality is extremely crucial in the website design society, and open to many dialogue. Inevitably it appears to be a balancing act regarding building a visually beautiful internet site devoid of jeopardising the user friendliness is vital.

Should the site is difficult to browse through then site visitors may leave the site altogether, which defeats the aim of obtaining a web reputation to help promote your internet business and increase product sales in the first place.

After a little evaluation we've learned that functionality goes hand in hand with knowing your target market. This is essential to the structure of the entire internet site, as web designers will have to make the website acquirable and attractive to this market.

For example, an online site intended for information or to showcase products and services to the older generation of internet user's requirements clarity, bold navigation that simply directs the viewer around the website and will not switch from page to page both of which will reassure the consumer. Coupled with this a predictable and logical page layout, having a design which compliments the content and articles, also are essential.

Evidently this kind of generation of internet users will probably use websites like the BBC, NHS or possibly an e-commerce website just like John Lewis, which all assure function takes priority beyond revolutionary website designs.

For the young viewers or maybe the design group, a chance to let the creativity flow as well as try out the ranges of website design is present. They could either be intended for an individual bespoke customer or a portfolio internet site.

A few of the most revolutionary styles are seen in portfolio sites particularly for creative businesses.

Design will take top priority instead of the functionality here, since the designer will think that the visitors is web savvy as well as able of exploring the website with a keen eye, immediately familiarising themselves with the style and order in which the internet site is to be viewed in.

The user is encouraged and aroused with clever uses of flash galleries and also the usage of jQuery in the navigation, website content and page layout all causing the interactivity of the site. Due to these components it could likely push away the more aged internet community from seeing a site like this, however because the designer knows the target customers this gives a free rein to showcase their abilities and create a distinctive and remarkable website not like everyone else's.

Presently there is an expectation in the design society that when you create your individual portfolio site that it's going to be filled with design, with functionality just about a secondary interest as the looks are essential. Tools including nice drop downs allow the site for being simple yet attractive on the vision.

So arguments about design vs functionality stay open to discussion, however determining as well as comprehending your market appears to be a constant principle throughout. This allows the web designer to judge the balance of website design and functionality, and also which should receive top priority.
