Website Help Needed.

[And Its Smith]

Hi all

I've been given the job of designing a website for my cricket team but have no idea where to start. Anyone got any tips as to how I can go about doing it? Websites or books to learn from etc.

Any help very much appreciated.

You'll need a web editing program...try the 30-day free trial of Dreamweaver. Link Here (you'll need to register to recieve the link to the download, but it doesn't cost a penny.

I'm resuming you already know about purchasing domain name(s)/hosting.

1)You have a couple of options - create a custom site from scratch (takes a bit of time to master). Link Here.

2)Download a free template, modify text and images to suit your choosen theme (google search images for 'cricket' mayB?)

Link to some free sporty-templates

3)A Content Management System (CMS), such as Joomla! . You can download complete templates and modify them as appropriate, just google search 'free joomla templates'

This option is probably best suited if you intend to add lots of updates regularly. * SQL Database needed.*

If you need any more advice, drop me a pm.

Hope this gives you a brief insight to the options you have.

I set up a website for my footy team off freewebs - they have templates - its easy as, if its just something simple you are looking for.

Then all I did was bought a web address and directed it to my freewebs website.
