I was curious about web design. When designing a website, I have been told that most of the website is written using codes such as HTML, CSS, ect.
Is that how all websites or designs in general made? How is a website such as yahoo or facebook made?
My additional question is the actual design of the website. For example, facebook, how is that design created. The different images that are links. How are those created. Kind of hard to explain what I’m asking. But another example, the area at the top of this web page, there’s an area that says Yahoo! Answers. If you click it, it takes you somewhere. I understand the link part, but how is that image or “button” created? Is it written, or is it designed as any other image?

HTML, CSS, etc, are the basic languages for creating webs pages. I can use both, but I don’t have any need to create a website. A site such as Yahoo takes a VERY long time to create, becasue of the sheer amount of coding involved. It’s created by inputting a code, specific to the type of “language” you want to make it in. HTML for instance has commands such as
“fontcolor=#ffffff;Fontfamily=”times new roman”
etc. CSS on the other hand is a little different, but not by much. The image button is basically linked to the link, if you understand that. Thats a little wierd to explain.
