HTML and Web Design
Last updated: 3/18/01

Is it necessary to learn HTML?

Not always. There are a lot of good "point and click" WYSIWYG (What you see is what you get) software programs that are much like Word Processor programs. For about $130, FrontPage 2000 is a good program for beginners, especially if you are already familiar with Microsoft Word. Other similar styled software programs can be found at download.com and other software directories. These programs can also help you learn HTML because most of them will allow you to still edit the HTML code manually.

If you plan on doing an elaborate site with a lot of pages, it is highly recommended that you learn HTML. It will save you a great deal of frustration and time. Here are some links to powerful HTML tutorials:
