Need a easy web design subject to make a website?
Hi Everyone,
I have to design a web site for uni and i find it hard so does any1 know a easy subject i could do a web site on?

Also does any1 know a step by step guide on how to make a website in pspad which is where i have to make d website in. I know about HTML but just wondering on a guide to make one is all step by step , nice and easy and simply.

The guidelines are as follows :

Pages directory, with at least four valid pages, the first of which is called index.html.
Images directory, with all images.
Your main page must provide convenient navigation to other pages and back.
The website should employ a common design threme and color scheme throughout.
The overall layout of the site can be done using tables and has to be of at least the same standard as examples shown in class which is with banners and tables etc, the basic way at the start.
It should contain an image map.
At least one list of items.
At least 1 fill out form.
At least one table of information if you haven't already used tables for the layout of the site.
Include at least two hyperlinks to similar external websites.
All pages should include links from the bottom of the page to the top of the page, and also a link to the home page (ie a back to top and home link on every page).
Each page must have a menu of links to the other pages.
Include an email link to your email address.
Include Meta tags on the index page, with relevant key words, description, copyright, austhor and content type/ character set for your site.
At least two relevant images. If you are using photographic images then scan them in and investigate adobe photoshop - this product will reduce the size of images for faster downloading.
All internal links ( within site) should be relative.
Include some form of navigation in the form of a site map.
marks will also be deducted if the site does not validate.
Marks will be awarded for the attention paid to practical web design - Fundamentals of the Web Design.htm and Accessibility issues.

I will need to include the following in a word document :
Description of your website
Identify potention customers
List of reference from where you acquired your information/ images

Include a drawing of your inital layout and any subsequent changes you made to the layout.
Include reports generated from an accessibility tool of your choice

So does anyone have any ideas for an easy and simply website to make on any subject at all?

Not sure what you are asking mate.
It all seems pretty clear cut. Are you saying that you cant even think of a topic for a 4 page website?

Ive seen questions like this before...ANY subject will do. its 4 pages...you could do that easily on sand, bananas, Anne Dolye...anything you are remotely interested in.
A recommendation for you (to makelife easier on yourself).
You need 4 pages right?
You could have a links page and a contact page.
The links page covers one of the 4 pages needed while containg your external links.
You contact page can be another of the 4 pages needed, and it can contain the form (a contact form) that you need, the email link you need etc. Try to group the things you need in the site and develop your pages from there.

Or why not develop something that is useful to users. Take a topic in the news and build an information website around it. For example, my M50 Free Flow information page has been one of my most popular pages by far. The information is all there and why not impress with some Google Rankings and Google Analytics?

Just my 2cents. Everybody else will be building crap sites about nothing, and this approach would stand out.

I agree with Notnem, do something useful - maybe a few pages for a local charity or voluntary organisation. Don't know exactly what course you are doing but this would be good to have in your C.V. down the line.
