Question-Making a site

[ShadwNinja94]

Where can I make a site. I've tried site makers before but they don't seem to work. I'm looking for a good site maker. Can you guys help?

Ignore any other answers in this thread; this is the best answer you can get.

umm so where do i click to "make" the site?

You have to learn to make it yourself is basically what they're saying.

If you are too lazy to learn HTML, you're probably too lazy to maintain a decent website. Although, honestly, HTML is really all you need to know. If you're serious you'll learn CSS too, but HTML is the basic language. If you want something with a button that says "Make a site for me" and then suddenly it's all done, sorry. Nothing's that easy after you leave your diapers.

Ignore anything on that site about javascript, server-side scripting, or SQL.

Or from scratch with no host.

Terry T., don't talk about hosts when you don't actually know what they are. A host is a remote computer containing your website files. Whether or not you made the site "from scratch" has nothing to do with it.

And Eonlight Valley has some good HTML tutorials that will most likely put you in the right direction.
And if you ARE looking for a host, check Freewebs.

Or byethost, looks like a good host. Can't speak from experience, but yeah.

With all due respect, disregard both these comments. Eonlight Valley's HTML tutorials are largely outdated and have been for a decade. Freewebs is a pretty terrible free host that supports virtually nothing and has obnoxious advertising on every page.

If you want to make a layout, you can hire someone, but generally speaking they're too expensive and honestly a lot of them aren't even that good, and are mostly used for setting up databases and such. If you really don't want to feel like making one right away, you could take a premade from some site (because really not many people actually use them) and make your site and work offline at making a better layout. Then you'd only have to learn the basics of HTML - bold, italic, underline, paragraph, image, and that's about it.

Byethost has some irritating redirection issues—specifically, if the user‐agent string is one they don’t recognize then the user gets sent to an advertisement page.

Oh~

I'm not using it anyway, 'cause my dad doesn't want to read their insane amount of TOS.

This was the reason I decided against Byethost. For whatever reason, Firefox was under this blacklist at the time and I couldn't use it to get to the page I set up on it. Opera and IE worked fine though, so I assumed it was a browser issue.
