There are 'point and click' tools, but the underlying process is really not that difficult, and you can really do it. You don't need any expensive tools, and basic HTML is quite easy. You'll probably also want to learn CSS, which is the language used to 'dress up' HTML and make it look better. It's also quite easy for the most part. Eventually, you might want to add more advanced features to your website, like the ability to send emails, hook up a database, and so on. When you need that kind of functionality, it's time to learn PHP. No need to rush that. PHP itself won't improve your rankings. However, if you use PHP or another language to build a content management system, it becomes much easier to keep the page updated and fresh, and this can contribute to an improved search rating.

This is because its a "server" site as opposed to html which is more "personal". It isnt a bad idea to know the html so you can make tweeks but its more or less self explanitory when you read it. Some parts are a little coded like <br /> (line break) but other things like <img> is more or less self explanitory, its an image. things you dont know you can look up. There are programs that will do it for you, like Windows Publisher (i beleive), Microsoft Front Page, or Microsoft Visual Studio. Freewebs.com is a website/server in itself, and wont be overly advanced, however that will help create it. In my opinion, you chould right-click on a few sites and try to understand the coding (maybe pick some simplier sites) and learn the basics so if you use a point and click program you can do some fine tweeks to make it how you want.

That's a generic question. You could create a site in a multitude of ways. If you're an apprentice webmaster I suggest a soft "approach", you could use a tool as a dreamweaver to "compose" the pages an edit the code only in the case it's necessary. In this way you have time to absorb the concept around a creation of a site. If your first work is a static site (not a web application) is a good thing to study css and html. In the case you would like to develop a web application you could start with php, and think about the function of the site more than the look. In regards at the web search engines is a complete different scenario. You could use various tech to let your content visible in the web search engines, like meta-tag description, keywords map of the site etc. That's is independent in regards at the language you use to create your site. Have a good study. bye fede Hi,
