Hi alkscd,

I would recommend using Dreamweaver, it's the best of the "what you see is what you get (WYSIWYG)" editors. As for the domain, check out GoDaddy.com, they have the best prices and service.

I believe the good doctor meant to say DreamWeaver by Macromedia. It is a good WYSIWYG editor but very expensive. You can also use Archnophilla, which is shareware. Not quite as many features and not as clean a code but cheaper. GoDaddy is the way to go on registering domains. You will also need a host. Dr. Z and I and others tend to recommend Hostmatters for their low prices and speedy service. There are a bunch of good hosts (and bad ones) out there.

Thanks for the correction mairving, forgot the "v" in there.

And I second the recommendation for Hosting Matters, great service.

There's a little free program called Dida that's real nice for coding. Can download it many places. Started out using it years ago tho I write my own code these days.

Anyway it doesn't have fancy bells and whistles but anyone can use it almost as soon as they open it. Have tried many other WYSIWYG programs and most have complicated learning curves ahead. Moreover some like Microsofts allow code that won't work with all browsers.

Start with a simple one then work your way up to more complicated models and you'll do better.

I would personally suggest starting in notepad, that way you will learn the HTML language (could come in handy some day)
Then move onto some app's which will give more features and effects

When i started web design i read a small html tutorial - only a couple pages long and made my first page (in notpad) after about 15 minutes, all of the sites i've made since (excluding a couple recent flash sites) have been done in notepad (just using other apps to do the graphics)

Something to think about - as it never hurt to learn
