You can find out step by step guide on how to create a website at http://oktutorial.com/webdesign.htm


You can even earn from adsense using your website.
Reply:To make a social networking program takes a lot of brains. I know you don't want a generated script. You can install programs on your webserver (like WordPress is a program).





To build a social networking website takes a lot of time too. You'll need to first pick a scripting language (JSP, CF, PHP, ASP). I've coded a basic Social Networking website in PHP using MySQL databases. It's fairy simple work but it's a lot of work, a lot of functions etc. You'll need security and you'll also need to know how to keep the program stable under heavy loads (say 1,000 people login) - can you be positive the program will remain stable?





I suggest you outline your program. You'll want several modules. A search feature, a message center for each user, and so forth. If you'd like to IM me sometime I can help you brainstorm for an outline and scripting and ways to make your program run smooth, fast and stable. It will probably take you at least a month of moderate work (4-6 hrs per day) to get a usable program.





With dedication and focused, detailed work, you can surely pull it off. If you don't know anything at all about PHP or ASP etc. I suggest you start learning. PHP which is what I'm into, is very easy, but I've been at it for a few years also.
Reply:I suggest starting out slowly with a blog or something. You need to learn more about website creation and maintenance before you do this. To program it yourself you will need to know HTML, CSS, javascript, and at least one server side language like perl, or php, and a database like Oracle, or sqlserver.





An adobe product like dreamweaver will help you with the client side stuff, but the hard part of a social networking site is the server side stuff.
Reply:do you have a mac!!!!??? cause them use iweb... dream weaver is a good website starter
Reply:start with yahoo... it gives you a domain name.. it costs a bit but they are the best. so with this domain name you get: ex: lalala.com





from there you want a website maker program. (best buy people are a good help for finding one that fits your needs)


with this program, you should get step-by-step derections!!!





hope i helped!!!
Reply:u hav to get permission from the net srevice provider first . i dont know about ur country but here it is like that.we must get permission from the net service provider
Reply:You want to create a social networking site, but dont want a web site that lets you create one off of them. But you want a program to use.





That makes no sense.


The programs are the websites, the websites use these programs that you somehow dont want to use, but in a sense do.





But there is dreamweaver like he said, or the easier to use Frontpage, if you are a college student, college libraries sell it for less then you can buy it on the net.
Reply:-Hosting


-Back end (database and server-side code(php, .NET, asp, etc)


-Front end (design, html, css, etc.)





aka a LOT of work and technical knowledge
Reply:Hi,





Try an off the shelf solution such as Dolphin or Pringo.





Also, once you've created your site, you can promote it on findasocialnetwork.com and attract users.
