Perhaps you might also read a thread in this group: How do you design a
website, there you will learn why you have to follow steps:
1) Organize the content (the text your mother wants on her website)
2)Write the markup to display this content (html) without giving a
minute for look'n'feel. Just write text with appropriate markup.
3)design layout and add necessary coding to html.
Following things other people have perhaps told you already, and perhaps
I have forgotten to mention some essentials, but here are some easy
caveats to avoid:
Don't forget to define the content type. In your case html 4.01 strict
might be your choice (http://www.w3.org/QA/Tips/Doctype). Don't use
tables for making layout. Don't use javascript in the manner that makes
page impossible to use for someone who doesn't use javascript.
Don't write text in image, there is always someone who can't see the image.
After you have added the content-type in the beginning of your code,
drop source cod into validator:http://validator.w3.org/
The validator point you mistakes you've done.
Stop the class - do it now - you only learn bad habits there
