You know you want to build yourself a web-something. That brings up the 1st question. Technicly yes, but I see a difference between a website and a webpage.
Webpages are similar to a business card where a website is more like a resume' with a coverpage.
Most indiduals building a site to show Grandma pictures of the newborn will build a webpage. Realize what you you want out of the site. Planning is a key to putting together a winning website. Well if you are considering putting one together, you are sure to have seen something that has insired you. Just get ideas for your layout.
