    Default web designer

    Hey guys and gals.....
    i want to make a basic profile web page for a friend, i have a little amount of experience and only know basic HTML ect so notepad is out of the question

    so im looking for a nice FREE n00b friendly web page designer, can you recommend one?
    I do have an old copy of dream weaver somewhere but that is far too complex for my inferior brain to cope with

    Wordpress is a bit much for a portfolio website.

    Not at all, there are themes designed for this exact purpose.

    Do you have a design in mind?

    I have no more school and have very little to do so if i find some free time, I'll make a template for you.

    Anything with 'Click to Enter' is a bad start to begin with

    Just go straight to the content.. afterall, that's why someone will be visiting the site, to see the content

    Also click to enter is really bad if you ever want to do SEO on it. The text in the link helps Google to understand what the page linked to is about. So Google will think the page is about "Click to Enter"

    naw u give it a try n all. then he can choose who's he thinks would be more suited to what he wants.

    im kinda a bit narrow minded when it comes to doing websites and when i get an idea i like to stick by it lol.

    lol i hear ya!, yeah maybe a click enter page may be bad then, i just sort of wanted the 1st page to be a collage of pictures since pictures speak louder than words but i see what you mean from a google point of view
    ummm ok ill let you guys do what you think is good, i just need room/ a pacific page for pictures that i will be taking to visually promote the its sole use
    Maybe if you leave room at the top of the page for a banner like they have here at aria and maybe a column on the right side to do quick links via mini images

    cheers guys and gals!


    PS. if you wondering about the videos, we will most likely be using a Youtube account and linking in site
