Hello there, I'm having one of those burning ambitions to start creating a website for myself, a small business I want to start and well, just general stuff I guess. Now obviously, a website needs to: -

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.

No, stick with C++. C++ is good, very good. THough designing a website is easier if you have a template to go on; nick someone with an established CSS, and youu can quickly earn the different attributes and what they do.

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
