Holy fucking shit, this has to be a joke. That site is like bottom barrel 1995 geocities. Â If your kid really has a learning disability and this is real, then he's going to have to learn how to make websites properly-like us a program that does things automatically with a few clicks, but I still think this is a joke to get reactions and shit.
Thank you for your comments and your honesty. each his own. remember however he is only 14.
Maybe when he finishes his flash site you may like that.
Do you think better software may help ?
Well he did use a freeware program called "total web kit" (is this any good?) when he gets into it more I will maybe buy him one of the more professional software packages. eg front web or dreamweaver which he talks about. btw What do you guys use ?
Im sorry that you think his website is a joke but I'm thanking full that even so you made the effort to give some constructive critique.
The only two pieces of software he'll ever need to at least build a decent website:
-Notepad (comes with every install of Windows)
-A good image processing software like Paintshop Pro
For being able to at least create useful websites he'd need to learn about:
-html (check
http://www.w3.org/)
-editing images
Practice with that, and then learn about:
-SQL
-PHP
-Javascript
So he can build decent webshops, forums, guestbooks and all other stuff clients might want to see customized.
And most of all:
-esthetics
-sociology
-writing decent English
might help...
After that he could start with flash software... it's only, well... flashy, but doesn't add much in the terms of usefulness.
No way in hell people are paying that much if he doesn't get his act straight... But hey, I've started at that design level... There is hope yet.
