To make a site like that you will need Adobe Flash.

Learn HTML and CSS

Resources for learning HTML and CSS

Contact forms and such require dynamic languages.
PHP is the most flexible, greatest support and easiest to learn.

as you are a newbie, the best advice from a fellow newbie would be start off by learning html and css once you have this mastered get a site online and up and runing, a free host such as free webs will probaly do. this will give you expirience in managing an online site, when you are comfortable with this learning flash and a language such as php wil furher your knowlage

w3schools is an excellent source for tutorials

HTML, ASP, CSS, JAVASCRIPT, PHP, XML, lots of things you should/must learn.

Step by step.

Start out with HTML and CSS, move onto PHP, JS, XML, ASP.

wow, so I should learn all languages, start from Html, CSS, JS, XML, ASP and finally finish with PHP and Adobe Flash..
umm I will try to learn it one by one, so from now on, I will seat in HTML forum.

thanks.

well it all depends what exactly you want to do.

if you are serious about web developing and designing, then learning all these languages are essential, sorry no way around it.
if however it is just a small site you are doing, nothing serious then just a basic knowlage of HTML will do as a lot of hosters have a site builder function included.

if this doesnt appeal then "what you see is what you get" code writers are also available

hope this helps

just read your first post.

you are better off following monie and marcs advice, ignore my comment lol

Why are people recommedning XML for a contact form?
Learning the following in order would probably be best for you:

• xhtml
• css
• js
• php

And you can't learn HTML without CSS ... they go hand-in-hand

Think of HTML as the framework and walls of a house. CSS would be the paint and ceramic tiles, etc...

Go to the link in my first post ... that will get you started in the right direction.

Basically, HTML and CSS are mandatory. Once you've got a reasonably good grip on these, start learning PHP. Javascript is optional I'd say, but it can be very useful. Similarly, Flash is also optional, but again it can be very beneficial.

HTML, PHP and CSS are absolutely necessary though.
