You don't have to be a hot-shot programmer to use HTML, as a matter of fact you don't even have to understand how or why HTML works, to achieve impressive results. If you can copy and paste code into your page, then change it enough to show the images you want to show and the text you want to write then you can make a web page look good. Animations like the one here are available free at many internet sites, as are interesting backgrounds and pictures. Even music is not difficult to add to your page. If you use some free software that is also available on the internet you can do some pretty complicated stuff fairly easily.
Links are easy.
With this program you can add this functionality to your page too. Imagemaps are useful for more than just adding links they are great for making creative site navigation menus as well. This is an example of a table. Some uses for tables are obvious. Others are not so easy to see.
