The ABC of Website Design
Making a website can be a very daunting thing for the absolute beginner but it needn’t be so. With a little time and effort you can throw together a simple and functional website that will increase your web presence and get you noticed on the internet. One thing is for certain - it’s got to be easier than try to find locum doctor jobs.
First off you need to get something to code basic HTML in. There are a number of free editors available for you. I personally prefer EditPlus as it has nice colour coding and easy file management with a great layout - http://www.editplus.com/
Other free options include Coffee Cup HTML Editor which is also free and very functional - http://www.coffeecup.com/free-editor/
If you want to take the plunge and download DreamWeaver then you can use it to design your website using a graphical interface as well as just the HTML, but remember to learn how to edit some basic HTML before you start otherwise you will be lost! It can be purchased or downloaded for trial here - http://www.adobe.com/products/dreamweaver/
Next you are going to have to learn HTML. I recommend working your way through the tutorial on the W3Schools.com website, and excellent free site that will tell you everything you need to know about coding HTML. http://www.w3schools.com/html/
Next, you’ll need to learn some CSS to do the layout of your page. http://www.w3schools.com/css/
Once you’ve done all of this you’ll be good to go! You can use some tutorials online to develope a basic layout then develope it into the site you want. Here’s an example: http://www.subcide.com/articles/creating-a-css-layout-from-scratch/
If you need any help picking colours for your site, try Adobe’s Kuler site to get some ideas: http://kuler.adobe.com/
Finally for image editing you can use either GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program) which is totally free and every easy to use, or you can download or purchase Adobe Photoshop if you are a bit more hardcore about your image editing (BEWARE: Photoshop is *not* for the faint hearted).

Best of luck!
