Asprilla 96 Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 I need to make a website where people can download mp3s for work. I don't need any animation and I'm quite good at the design part. Is there a simple program for making a basic website that anyone can recommend? Any help would be greatly appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrBass 2254 Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 (edited) If you're only after a simple web site then you don't need any software at all. Just create a dead boring list with all your tunes, such as: <html> <head> <title>Downloadable MP3's</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <meta name="keywords" content="MP3, free, download"> </head> <body> <h1>MP3's Available</h1> <a href="mp3/song1.mp3">Song 1</a><br /> <a href="mp3/song2.mp3">Song 2</a> </body> </html> Not pretty but gets the job done without the need for splashing out cash. You could even go one further and put a list of all your MP3's in something like an Access db, then create an ASP page that queries the db and lists the results.

I'll look them up later but if you've got a quick sentence to what they do I'd appreciate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, and by the way, it's Macromedia Fireworks, not Adobe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there something that has maybe templates where you can change the fonts etc and add to without starting from scratch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBass 2254 Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 Dreamweaver MX does all the coding for you, although it's a very expensive solution if you're not going to use it to it's full potential. For a quick and dirty html page why don't you just use Microsoft Word and save the document in html format? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because of that, my site no longer exists (apart from on a CD-ROM). BTW, I don't remember saying that "from scratch" sites were better than "GoLive" ones, I just said that notepad and Textpad can also get the job done and that personally, I prefer to use a text editor...

Lou 0 Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 Is there something that has maybe templates where you can change the fonts etc and add to without starting from scratch? 44501[/snapback] FrontPage has themes and templates and stuff... so basically you click a few buttons and TA DA there's a webpage in front of you, with banners and backgrounds and buttons and what the hell. Then you just add your text. (You can also change all the background, buttons etc, they've provided you with if you want). If you really DO want to cheat and have a little Mr Microsoft webpage, then that's an easy way to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Things such as Forms Processing (designing a forms fine but if you use the inbuilt processing stuff then you could have problems), hit counter, database stuff etc. If its a straight-forward, heres me, heres what I do, look at the pretty pictures etc site then there shouldnt be any problems.
