a) Look good
b) Easy to navigate
c) Have a polished look
But there's a slight problem, I'm rubbish and designing and making websites, and to be honest, it's not really a main interest of mine. Websites i've started in the past have been unfinished because I got bored, or just too crap to worth mentioning. I have no motivation to build one, I prefer to do some programming instead, in C mainly.
Anyway, I need help, I just want to make a simple website thats not cluttered, and is well, simple, a few pictures and a short bit of text. Most people have told me to learn CSS, but I really don't see the beneifit of it, and I usually just end up opening the commandline and start programming in C again.
So has anyone got any tips they can give me to just get a simple, nice looking website up and running ?
Oh and I need an idea on good hosts aswell.

If you can, get Top Style - once you do, it's essentially like VB where you edited the different properties. To be honest, I'm glad I'm not doing them anymore, they were tedious. Just program

Who can give me advice on making a reltivly decent website. And no, I don't mean upto the standard of something like Tyla's work.
CSS is useful to learn and would help you in making a web-site. You say your site will have to be small, so i take it nothing like Frames would need to be used (You shouldn't use them anyway). If you have a host that supports PHP then you can create simple/fast sites with good navigation.
If you want i could build up a template for you, just draw out some kind of picture and i would happily make one.

Too limited. It doesn't allow a great deal of dynamic creation of page content.

I downloaded an HTML kit from 0catch.com and it worked really well, it has some free templates which are really effective and you can easily add forms and stuff.
I'm looking fora relativly cheap but decent host.
Can anyone explain what exactly CSS is, I don't really see what the whole "big deal" about it is.
