which template to build web site.

sebastianj

Dear all,
I am trying to build a site and was told that buying a template and modifying it for your own use will be much better. Any recommendation tips will be most helpfull, I just don't want to continually paying for it.

I once used dreamweaver to build a site but did not look very professional.

Go to wordpress, download and install that on the server, and then start scouring through the themes to find the one you want.

Wordpress allows you to edit the themes directly from the admin control panel, so you can tweek the theme to your hearts content.

Wordpress is the easiest thing for you to use if you haven't got the money to pay for a web designer (although it's probably not as expensive as your think!)

many thanks every one,
I have downloaded wordpress and some themes, i am now thinking of ehere to start. i have used dreamweaver a long time ago. At the present all i can see is codes and no visuals, i am sure i am doing something wrong.

I have managed yo sort the email side but no presence yet. any help most appreciated.
I don't seem to have any 'thank you' or 'edit' buttons, not sure what happened to forum tools.

You don't need to use Dreamweaver with Wordpress. You can use the inbuilt editor for any changes.

Don't forget that Wordpress is built using PHP so you wouldn't see any graphics anyway.
