Then you can study the code to learn what it's all about.

You'll need to whole Mozilla Suite:

It's free BTW.

Mozilla Suite is pretty much dead. Nvu came out of its Composer. And I looked around in it once. It's actually pretty good.

I know that most pro's will hate this but try using Yahoo Sitebuilder. It is free and is easy to use for beginners. It does some things well but nothing flashy.

Just to update everyone, Ben from Nebs Webs is in the process of redesigning my website. He is doing an amazing job and has spent a lot of time working on my site.

If anyone needs a website designed (although there wont be many on this forum) I would thoroughly recommend Nebs Webs.

If I were you I would hire a professional to make your website.

Thanks for the advice. I'm not a one man band. Myself and someone else co-run the business.

I have to re-iterate what other people have been saying. You have to 'give to get.'

Many people think once they have a website they can just watch as the hits shoot up. In 2005, that just isn't going to happen. You will have to supplement the site with online and offline advertising. So, you're going to need a web designer, a search engine expert and someone who knows something about PR.

Your biggest problem is that there are many free price comparison sites on the web who dominate the search engines so it will be interesting to see if you get over the hurdle of proving you are worth £7.99.

If you want to learn to do HTML find your nearest college that does adult courses and learn it! It is unbelieveably cheap and being adult courses they are at night so you can fit it around work.

Are you on you a one man band by the way?

And even if they look good they hardly ever work. Usability is a huge problem with flash sites. I really dont' think that full site development is the best way of using flash. It's great for certain niche applications but not for full site development.
