Basic Design:::
Simple HTML- You can do many things with html.. but in a way it does limit the level. HTML is always good to know and pretty much a must if you're going to be playing around with website coding. Its like the bread of a sandwich. =D
My Fav Html site ever is www.draac.com/ thats where I learned all my basics =)
Templates can be used on websites.. they look professional and clean if you get the coding right.
www.freewebtemplates.com/ Often times if an image isn't showing up and it should be.. its because its linked wrong. This can usually be solved by writing in the complete URL.
Example: my /images/bg.jpg wont show up... well maybe i should type www.outlandpirates.com/images/bg.jpg
A lot of times we can't see images simply because they are linked wrong.. and this can get very frustrating.
One of my other fav sites out there that has a lot of web layouts you can use.. is www.animeshare.org/ check it out!
I suggest using php for your web pages... makes updating so much easier and your websites look more organized.
Tag-boards are always fun --> www.tag-board.com
and cutenews is what we use for our news.
www.cutephp.com it can be found there.
Make your site clean, easy to navigate etc. But dont make it too bright or too busy!
Be sure to have forums on your website so that guildies can keep in touch. =)
Proboards, PHPBB2, invision free are all good ones.
If you have any questions feel free to send me a message through the forums or in game.
Remember a lot of sites have links to other sites that can help you.
If you don't feel like buying a .com site or paying a monthly fee for hosting you can always use the free hosting sites.. such as...
www.geocities.com
www.angelfire.com
guildportals.com
etc.
