Web development can appear easily achievable, with the availability of free WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) Editors allowing every man and his dog to create a website. However developing a web site that is functional, enjoyable, useable, informative, and attractive to search engines still requires care and attention to detail.
Even if you have a WYSIWYG editor to construct your website, you should still learn some basic HTML code, to fine-tune your website performance, especially when it comes to optimising your site for search engines.
Some good free visual HTML editors are available for downloading.This one was very highly recommended by the programmers over at webproworld: HTML Kit
For web development tips you can't go past these sites for learning about basic HTML:
HTMLGoodies
WebMonkey
BigNoseBird - wierd name, great site.
WebAlley
When you've finished coding your website, check the results using these web development tools:
Submit Corner's Metascan
ScrubTheWeb'sMeta-Check
Doctor HTML's Single Page Analysis
NetMechanic
TheWebClinic
If you're a sucker for punishment, you can get your code validated by the web development mob that wrote the specs for HTML: W3. Be warned - it is incredibly tough, and one mistake up top will produce a lot of errors.
Web developers should know about HTML document types, and how they cater for old non-standard sites. DocType can help out here.
Check your CSS as well: CSS Validator.
W3C also have a program called HTML TIDY, to analyze your code and identify any html problems. HTML Tidy
An excellent resource for web useability checking is UI Test. How do you think you site will perform for the blind, using screen readers?
Visit Website Optimisation if you want to see how fast your site loads.
If you'd like a fancy Flash slideshow presentation on your site, but haven't got time to learn Flash, then try a free Flash web development program like PowerBullet. Amazingly easy to use.
You may be good at web development, but can you spell? If you want some guidelines on correct use of the English language, see Dictionary.com
