First off learn how to use your ftp program. Once you got the log in down , learn how to upload files. Find a program , and most times at there site they tell you how to do stuff.

Step two. Open up notepad , make and code your layout . Once you've made your layout make this page your "index.html" page so save it as index.html. Add any content you want to show on that page. Your index page is the first page that will show when you look at your site.

Step three. Make subpages . Unless your using iframes copy your layout code and paste it on all your subpages . Add the new content that you want to show in that subpage. Thne name it something.htm

Link your subpages in your index page.

Then open your ftp program , connect , upload your pages.
Then you have a site.
