mrscruffsushi.hostei.com [Up and running, but more pages??]

[Johnny Blockhead]

I want to learn basic web design.
I need a hosting site that allows whatever type of web-design you refer me to, too.
Sorry if this is quite straightforward.
I have an idea of what I want to be able to create, basically stuff used in this one website that looks like it can give one of you guys motion sickness so I am not going to link it. pm me for the url.

Edit: I am finishing up the html course.
Update: I need help over here.
Updated Update: I need more help over here!
Update: mrscruffsushi.hostei.com is now working! I just want to add more pages, though.

I thought you wanted to be a professional psychologist.

I hope this doesn't motivate you to continue this gag, but I'm not considering taking up web-design as a profession.

So you want to learn or you need a host or...?

I want to learn.
I haven't aquired an actual website, though. If you are going to suggest a method of webdesign, it'd be nice if you could find a website hoster that isn't basically "okay we give you x number of templates and you work off that". The hoster needs to support whatever method that you refer.
Optional, of course.

Sorry if that is not the best wording.

Hosting: Download WAMPServer, host stuff on your own computer. No limits. No templates. You throw your files in c:\www (i think) and go to localhost/whateverfilehere.extension
Learning HTML: http://www.tizag.com/htmlT/
Learning CSS (Optional, if you want your site to be pretty): http://www.tizag.com/cssT/
Learning PHP: http://www.tizag.com/phpT/

After getting the basics of PHP down I'd move on to learning SQL and things like that.

If you want to host an actual website, go to heliohost or 000webhost, but I'd recommend WAMPServer.

http://www.w3schools.com is the way I learned. Pretty much anything you need to know about web design is there.
With http://www.wampserver.com/en/ , assuming you use Windows, you can try hosting a server yourself, or just use it to test out PHP, if you do get in to PHP.
http://www.000webhost.com will give you a free FTP server that you can upload your stuff to and either use a free domain, or purchase your own and register it to that. Cheap domains go for 4-13 bucks on GoDaddy for a year. You can add me on Steam or shoot me a PM if you have any questions. [TPN] Steve5451

CodeAcademy is a great place to get started. As for languages, I recommend starting with HTML, and then CSS for more advanced design. If you master both of those, then you could move onto PHP.

He should learn Javascript before going in to PHP.

imo you don't really need to master html or css to move on to php, just have a good understanding of them. if you're learning php then you're going to pick up a lot of html along the way.

not necessarily, JS and PHP are different in many ways, and php is more fun imo. if he already has a bit of programming knowledge he should do fine with understanding php.

I thought JavaScript was used more for application creation?

Of course, but basic Javascript knowledge will help a lot. I've personally used it much more than PHP.

Well it can be used for making 3D FPS games to just quoting the text on this forum.

I'll definitely use WampServer.
I'm not sure what language I should start off with, there are mixed opinions.

Learn HTML then CSS.
