Hi there,
Please look at our video tutorial page, and I think that you will find help which you need.
Page is located on this link http://glowhost.com/support/videos/index.php
You only need to choose menu "Dreamweaver Help" and you will see some video tutorials, which must help you with creating of your website.
Hmmm...
I have a couple of clients like that.
CharlesH: rofl!!
The tutorials help a lot. Web tutorials are cool stuf, educate and learn. Nice work, great job.
I think the original poster has been banned here, but it's nice to continue this thread. If anyone hasn't checked out Lynda.com, please do so. It is an incredible resource for just about every software you can image. Of course, that would not include WHM, but I bet that soon they will have a series on it.

Search for some web tutorials. They will be of great help in educating and you will find some real cool stuff there.
Initially use frontpage. It is easier than dreamweaver. Search google for "frontpage tutorials". Once you're good with fromtpage go for Dreamweaver. It has lots of features.
Dreamweaver is best tool to developed website easily.
Frontpage is no longer supported by Microsoft and most hosts have eliminated support for Frontpage Extensions. If they haven't they should due to security issues. cPanel has also discontinued official support. You might be able to connect Frontpage to the server if it supports webdav or FTP - but that doesn't mean the site will work the same or look the same as it does on the computer that made it.Quote:

Certainly! Building a website can be simplified into a few basic steps. While FrontPage and Dreamweaver were popular web development tools in the past, it's important to note that they are no longer actively developed or supported by Microsoft (FrontPage) and Adobe (Dreamweaver). Modern web development tools and content management systems (CMS) like WordPress are now more commonly used for creating websites. They can also be installed directly from cPanel with GlowHost. However, if you still want to use FrontPage or Dreamweaver, here's a basic guide to get you started:
**For FrontPage:**
1. **Install FrontPage:**
- If you don't already have FrontPage installed, you'll need to install it on your computer.
2. **Create a New Website:**
- Open FrontPage and create a new website project.
- Choose a template or start with a blank page.
3. **Design Your Pages:**
- Use FrontPage's visual editor to design your web pages.
- Add text, images, links, and other elements by simply dragging and dropping.
4. **Organize Your Site:**
- Structure your website by creating folders to organize your pages and media files.
5. **Publish Your Website:**
- Configure your web hosting settings within FrontPage.
- Publish your website to your web hosting server.
6. **Test Your Website:**
- Ensure that your website displays correctly in different web browsers and on various devices.
**For Dreamweaver:**
1. **Install Dreamweaver:**
- If you don't already have Dreamweaver installed, you'll need to install it on your computer.
2. **Create a New HTML Document:**
- Open Dreamweaver and create a new HTML document.
3. **Design Your Pages:**
- Use Dreamweaver's visual editor or code view to design your web pages.
- Add and format text, insert images, and create links.
4. **CSS Styles:**
- Use CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) to style your web pages and control the appearance of elements.
5. **Organize Your Site:**
- Organize your website files and assets within Dreamweaver's file management system.
6. **Connect to a Server:**
- Set up Dreamweaver to connect to your web hosting server.
- Upload your website files to the server using Dreamweaver's built-in FTP (File Transfer Protocol) tools.
7. **Test and Preview:**
- Preview your website in Dreamweaver to check its appearance and functionality.
- Test your website in various web browsers and on different devices.
Since these tools are somewhat outdated, you may encounter limitations, and there are better and more user-friendly options available for website creation today. If you're looking for simpler and more modern alternatives, consider using website builders like WordPress. These platforms provide intuitive, user-friendly interfaces and extensive online tutorials to guide you through the website-building process and can be installed in one click directly from GlowHost's cPanel.
