All web pages that you see on the Internet use HTML to format its pages for display in a web browser. This is so whether the website is a shopping site, a search engine, a blog or a tutorial site like thesitewizard.com. This tutorial is intended to be a systematic guide to teach you HTML from the ground up. It assumes no knowledge of HTML. By the end of this tutorial series, you'll be confidently creating web pages by directly coding in HTML.
Hand coding a web page in HTML is not the easiest way to create a website. In fact, it's probably the slowest and least efficient way, and, depending on your inclinations, possibly the most tedious. If all you want is to create a website, you may want to consider using a visual web editor to do the job instead. Visual web editors, also called WYSIWYG web editors ("What You See Is What You Get" editors), are computer programs that let you design websites without needing any technical know-how.
Please see Should I Learn HTML or Just Use a WYSIWYG Web Editor? Pros and Cons of Using a Visual Web Editor vs Learning HTML for a more detailed discussion of the advantages and disadvantages of using either method.
Tutorials for both free and commercial visual web editors can be found on the following pages:
Dreamweaver CS6 Tutorial — Dreamweaver is a well-known commercial web editor. If you are using an older version of Dreamweaver, please see the appropriate versions of the tutorial instead, such as the Dreamweaver CS5.5 Tutorial, the Dreamweaver CS5 Tutorial, the Dreamweaver CS4 Tutorial or the Dreamweaver CS3 Tutorial.
BlueGriffon Tutorial — BlueGriffon is a free, open source web editor.
KompoZer Tutorial — KompoZer is another free, open source web editor. It is, however, somewhat outdated in its support for the modern web standards.
I have tutorials for other less known web editors as well. The list of tutorials for these different editors can be found on the Tutorials for WYSIWYG Web Editors page. This includes the NetObjects Fusion 11 Tutorial (a commercial web editor) and the Nvu Tutorial (an old version of KompoZer).
