Writing a good webpage is very easy. Many people are scared off by it, but this short article will get you off the ground fast and have a great looking website. The easiest way to get going is to find a site you already like. Just do a view source by right-clicking on the page and then save it as a file called index.html. Next, using any editor you like (FrontPage is good for novices), remove all the images and text. You can put in place-holder items like “My Headline,” “Image One,” and other items. You will also need to download the site's stylesheets. Just look for the .css entries and type them in the url after the site name. You will be able to download it.
You will have a great template to built out your own website and will hopefully learn a lot by studying how the initial layout was done. Changing a well designed existing site is often the best way to learn good HTML coding. Make sure you don't include any actual images or text from the original site, since these are copyrighted and cannot be used.
