Step 1
Create your website using your HTML editing software, such as Dreamweaver or FrontPage. You'll want to create the basic page layout that you plan to use for most of the pages within your site.
-
Step 2
After you've created a layout that you are pleased with, save the file as a template. You can do this by selecting "Save as Template" from the menu of your software.
-
Step 3
Set regions within your template as editable. The editable regions should be the ones that you want to contain different content on each page. For example, the main content area of your site should be editable, because you'll want to include different content on each page. Re-save the document.
-
Step 4
Open a new HTML file based on this newly created template. Save this file as "index.html." This will be the homepage of your website. Add the content that you have planned to appear on the main page of your site to this file and re-save the document.
-
Step 5
Repeat step 4, creating as many pages as you want to include on your site that will be based on this same template. Save each file with a unique file name. Add the content that you've created for each page.
-
Step 6
Go to a free form website, such as EmailMeForm.com. Sign up for a free account, and choose to create a new form. Select the different areas of the form that you want to be included, and input the address where you want responses to be sent to. Copy the code generated for you to paste on your website.
-
Step 7
Go back to the site you created for yourself. Paste the copied code wherever you would like the form to appear on your site.
-
Step 8
Publish your website to the web using FTP software. You can download a free copy of Core FTP, which is an easy to use FTP client. Check your site to be sure there are no errors, and fill out the form yourself to be sure it's working correctly. Check your inbox to make sure the information is being delivered to the correct location.
