Well, that's a pretty broad question.

Very broad.

There are alot of things that go into building a 'good' website, and many of those vary depending on what your site will be doing, who it's targeted to, how much time you want to put in, etc.

A good place to start is to browse around http://www.sitepoint.com They cover many different topics, starting with beginner items.

If you want to put in the time, Welcome! But you should know that it's not an overnight process, and as anyone who does any sort of programming or coding will tell you, the learning is a never ending process. You should start learning the basics/fundamentals of XHTML [used to create structure and form], followed by CSS [used to control how things appear]. And then, depending on your needs, you may want to look at Javascript [makes things "dynamic"], PHP [makes things more interactive and personalized], or any other number of languages (ASP, Perl, ColdFusion, databases like MySQL, etc.)

So, long story short: it depends on what you want, how much time you want to invest, and how much you care.

There are tons of factors that go into making a good website:

1. A good logo
2. a good color scheme
3. Nice layout
4. Good SEO planning

I would say the role of CSS is to have an external style sheet applied to all of the pages on the site so that you can update all of the pages at once if you want to.

I personally don't like to use a lot of Javascript...if I need scripting, personally I prefer to use php code, but to do that you would need to base your site around php pages.

One key feature of your site is to make it easy to update the entire site quickly.

One other way to do this is by incorporating SSI files into your design

To add to the list above:

5. Maintainability

Websites need to be dynamic, and a site design that takes a long time to update will keep your website static. Plus, it becomes a burden and a hassle to update. Flash sites are famous for being difficult to update on a speedy basis. I should know, I used to have one. It became such a pain to keep fresh that I downsized to a basic HTML/CSS site while I figure out what to do.

So, as you design and think through your site, ask the question: how easy will this site be to maintain?

A topic that you know something about, that you can deliver a bunch of unique content with.
As well as the other suggestions. Also getting traffic to your site is key.
And in some cases Link Exchanges is the way to do that.

I am going to side with jennbell on this. "On the web, content is king."

Be warned it's a lot of work though. Coming up with something fresh and interesting on a regular basis can take a lot of time. I suggest you take a look at WordPress to get you going and making adding content easier. Many web hosts offer a one-click install via something like Fantastico - look out for this when you look for hosting.

If you have something interesting to say, people will find you. Good luck.

Cordially, David

Identify the function of the website, identify your target audience, research their web-behaviour and present your content with a clear common sense approach that allows the visitor to navigate easily and logically throughout your site.
Construct your HTML semantically, adhere to web standards (trying not to use HTML for layout purposes at all) and ensure cross-browser compatibility (so test test test). Adhere to accessibility guidelines thus embracing as much of your potential audience as possible irrespective of disability.
With CSS you can then address issues of layout, allowing the site to maintain its natural flow as much as possible. The complexity of your CSS will often depend on the difficulty of rendering your initial design, a design that will depend on the function of your website and target audience and nature of content.
I agree with an earlier post in that I prefer to handle dynamic elements with PHP rather than javascript.

CSS is a method where webmasters used to design their websites by changing the background color, fonts, list styles, widths, and now, they are used to design the site itself.

Javascript is used in other methods like popups, changing the images while hovered, and other javascript methods. Laughing out loud

There are different ways and styles to make a good website, but first you have to decide, for who (what type of website e.g. commercial etc.) you want to make a website and/or what professional level.

In CSS, we define the layout of the website, and Javascript can be used to program the functions in the website.

If you are just beginning to learn the very basics of building a website (XHTML), I cannot suggest a better book than Wendy Willard's HTML. I was searching through my library for a good reference book that I could make copies out of and ended up actually reading it (even though I had already learned XHTML). It was very in-depth, provided great examples along the way, and like many books like this, provided Progress Checks and Mastery Quizzes as well as Projects to follow along with. It's absolutely wonderful, and the appendices at the end (what I was originally interested in copying) are full of great information. Wink
