HTML Editors
While you can design a website "from scratch" by learning to write html, most web designers use an editor. There are many to choose from. Microsoft FrontPage, Macromedia Dreamweaver, and Adobe GoLive are probably the most popular. I used Microsoft Publisher for this particular site. You can even use Microsoft Word or export PowerPoint slide shows as web pages.

While they limit your creativity to some extent, if all you are interested in is a place to post homework or a syllabus, these sites will make it quick and easy.

Large files like software applications are often compressed or "zipped" to make downloading faster. In addition, compression makes it possible to offer several files as one small file. In order to open the file on your computer, you must uncompress it.
