I am currently building a website for two reasons:
1) I want an on-line portfolio for my art work. 2) I am starting a small business selling art.
Barring a few classes in college a very long time ago (6 years) and the first 4 chapters of the HTML book I'm reading right now (in which I learned a pretty good overview of the raw basics), I am completely ignorant of how to create a website.
I have gotten my domains, my web host, set up my emails and ftps, conceptually laid out exactly how I want my website to be formatted page-wise, and learned a little of how to use NVU (I am considering FrontPage but I figure it would be a waste with my current knowledge)...
Can someone please point me in the direction of some helpful web sites or literature that may specifically be related to creating an artist's web site, or perhaps offer some of their scaled-down (read: dumbed-down)expertise in the matter?
