Dear forumers,

I have been given a small little project to design a website recently. The thing is, the last time I've created a website was around 4 years ago which is for my high school project using just Microsoft Powerpoint.

Therefore, I will be needing some advice in creating a proper website for other people to view. There are several things that is essential for me to understand.

Firstly, which company provides a good webhosting domain. I was searching through some Malaysian webhosing domains, such as ServerFreak, Exabytes and IpServerOne, all seem to provide very good quality services.

Also, are there any special programs for me to be creating a website? Like, i used to play around using Dreamweaver but never did try to upload. Is Dreamweaver a good WYUIWYG program suitable for website creating in this day and age?

I was actually thinking of using Joomla since i had a friend that used it before, the end result for his website turned out pretty well. Any comments about Joomla, be it good or bad for Joomla, or maybe there exist another better program more suited for this kind of job.

Thank you for your advice in advance.

I think you have misunderstood me. Due to financial difficulty, the project of this was handed onto me (cheap labour), one who any has a limited amount of knowledge in website creation.

Therefore, I will be posting here time to time when i encounter any difficulty ahead. Glad to have a forum like lowyat.

Thanks for your input! Would you please suggest some customizable CMS that are user friendly, this really does help me alot.

Guys, any idea how do i add animated menus into that top box i highlighted?

Yep, animated menus as in drop down menus, flashy menus or anything that will enchance the website appearances.

PS. Edited the picture.

Ya!!! Something like that. What's the name for it.

Thanks a bunch!

Thanks alot for the help. I really appreciate it!

Ok I got another question to ask, does all domain providers such as serverfreak support joomla software?
