Starting my own web site

Get Started
1

Can someone advise if there are free vetted tools on the net for starting and designing my own web site?

That’s a very vague question… All you need at the beginning is a free editor.

Not directly related to the question but if you’re looking for good free tutorials, check out the NetBeans Wikis . They have good free tutorials .

I use W3Schools for reference sometimes.

kohoutek pretty much nailed it with that list.

Of the list I use
I use Netbeans and another lightweight program I use is Notepad ++

Notepad will be just fine to start with.
