Hi there.

Let me be the first - of many - to warn you off of using frontpage. Frontpage isn%26#039;t even supported or recognised by Microsoft anymore, and that%26#039;s a symptom of how universally derided it is by any web designer worth their salt.

If you use frontpage, you will get a website no doubt. The problem is it will be replete with oudated, obsolete and downright inefficient %26#039;markup%26#039; - the actual HTML used to write pages. This could be fine, depending on your purpose for building a site. If it%26#039;s a simple personal website, and you already have frontpage, then maybe go for it - but in that case you might also be better off investigating some simple blagging software such as Word press.

If on the other hand your intentions are a little more professional and you actually want to learn how to write good markup, you%26#039;ll need something better. Dream weaver is the industry standard, it can still do WYSIWYG design (what you see is what you get) but the quality of it%26#039;s coding is significantly better and up to date (though it has to be said it%26#039;s not perfect). Crucially, this will lead you to a better understanding of the markup itself, which will enable you to quickly learn to hand code websites using nothing more than notepad if so desired.

It%26#039;s a steep learning curve. Above all, get acquainted with good forums such as www.codingforums.com where the members are only to happy to help beginners with any questions. They will also be able to direct you to further resources such as step by step beginners guides.

EDIT : In reply to the above poster - the homepage does NOT have to be index.htm or .html - it can be anything you desire including another language such as PHP (.php) or even a different name (eg, home.html) providing you set this up in a .htaccess file.

Other Replys:You Need to know how you can upload files to your server it could be by http or ftp that depends of your host, also you need to know in which folder you need to put your content, the front page always needs to be index.htm, index.html also depends in your host config.
