There is a list here, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FTP_clients, in my opinion filezilla is the best, i would try and get this again

so basically what you need a good front page to grab the visitors attention, a few other pages and a diary?

I reccommend learning HTML and CSS for you pages, i do not think that you will need to learn php or anything like that, here are a few links for you

As for your diary i would recommend a CMS, (content management system), this is an easy way to add text to your website without messing around with the code, here is a link explaining this in more detail

Hope this helps

Thanks for that.

OK, so I managed to download FireFTP.

My hosting company is 3ix and when I click on a link in an e-mail they sent me that says "Once you have uploaded your files to our server you can view them using the IP address together with your username, for example:"

When I do this I'm presented with this screen:



Is this just a template that I can edit?

This is not what I get when I enter our web name: www.leedssamuraimartialarts.co.uk.


OK, as far as I can see, I have access to the control panel, I have a FTP account, which I use to transfer data to our website.

Now do I need some software to design the website??

Apologies if you're sat there rubbing your head and saying "What IS he doing!?".

I thought I'd be able to open some software, type/cut/paste/edit the site content, press a button and....heypresto...the site would be there.

Any more assistance would be appreciated..

Are there any recommended books on this subject or free online tutorial?

Thanks.
