I finally want to do it myself... Creating a Website using my Mac Notebook?

Hey guys, i have a boyfriend who is an IT tech but would rather die than ask for help. At this point its almost all about trying and trying before finally asking, and i have the urge to finally do it myself. I know its not as hard as it sounds but i need help in creating a website using my Notebook. Anybody who is willing to give a step to step guide through?

G'day and welcome to the forums.

Check out Weebly and Wix, both pretty easy to use and good for new starters.

Just checked them out. Thanks for the recommendations mate!

If i may ask, are you an expert in this area? Which web design software would you recommend?

"Web design" is a very generic description that spans a wide range of skills and technologies. It's like saying you want to become a programmer. These are just too high level to be of any use when discussing details.

When it comes to creating websites, the type of the website will dictate the technology that you'd want to use and get comfortable with. If you are looking to setup a blog, you can start with existing CMS (Content Management Systems) packages out there and then spend your time either writing the content or customizing the looking and feel with CSS.

If you want an e-commerce site, you can modify the CMS packages to add that functionality or if you have the programming chops, write the back-end (server and database) with frameworks like Rails, .NET, Grails, etc. talking to a database like PostgreSQL, Mongo, CouchDB and so on. You can then design the front-end using technologies like Angular, React, and so on..

So tell us WHAT you want to create and what your level of expertise is and we can put you on a path that makes the most sense..

Not really 'mate', or should that be mate=ess'? Have done a couple of amatuer f.o.c. sites.

The lass wants to show her boyfriend up so I suggest no experience at all.

Oh, well in that case. Thank you mate=ess In this case, we are talking about someone with zero experience!

Thanks guys for all the suggestions a friend forwarded me a video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mb3wSD-XM8Y the video might be 6 years old, but it was really an easy step by step tutorial. She also forwarded me https://www.1and1.co.uk/digitalguid...ation/how-to-create-a-website-on-mac-devices/ i think the author of the article has some pretty good information which was easy to understand. So yaay!. I guess i won't be needing any help from my boyfriend now!.
