Website design course, pls help

Hello,

I need to learn how to create simple websites for a part of my job. Does anyone know where there are computer training centres which teach in English?

I am only looking to learn how to create SIMPLE websites and the less technical the better.

Thank you.

Mad Dog

You're probably better of just learning this stuff online using Frontpage or Dreamweaver.

Most of the tools these days are pretty easy to use for simple websites.

The easiest way to create SIMPLE website is to buy one of those DIY books available in the market and a user friendly tool.. Can be up and running in few days.

You won't need a class for that. If you know enough about computers to navigate to this forum and make posts, I'm sure you can learn HTML in a day or two. It is very easy. Google "learn HTML" or something similar.

HTML is (basically) the lowest level browser code. It is very simple and tells the browser how to display. After you get deacent at HTML you could look in to getting an HTML editor which can allow you to make much more complex websites via a GUI. (such as microsoft FrontPage, Macromedia Studio, or Macromedia Dreamweaver)

First step though, google HTML and learn the basics, it's easy, trust me!

Bah, I feel like being helpful today:

Here's lesson 1:

1) open notepad
2) type this:

Code:
<html>
<head>
<title>This is my First Webpage!</title>
</head>
<body>
Hello I am new to HTML!<br>
I enjoy the GeoExpat Forums!<br>
Clay is SOO awesome and good looking and cool!
</body>
</html>
3) in notepad, go to file > save as. Under "Save as Type" select "all files". In File name type "index.html" and save it to your desktop.

4) double click the index.html document that shows up on your desktop, there is your first webpage!

Doing other things like changing background colors, adding links and pictures, adding tables, etc should all be things you can easily learn. After you get that down, it's time to get an HTML editor!

Thanks for your help.

I think I probably will try to work it out myself.

It's just that my company are going to fork up the money for it which will mean I can be a lazy bugger and not have to use my brain or read anything.

Cheers
