Getting around Webmonkey

The easiest way to get started at Webmonkey is to choose — based on who you are and what you're hoping to accomplish — one of our three "launching pad" areas of the site. So if you're looking down the barrel of your very first website, that makes you a Beginner. If you have a site or two below your belt and you want to buff up your skills with more advanced site-building mojo, then try our Builder section. And if you've been Webmonkeying around for years now and you're ready for something really challenging — serve your own site, slap together a database, rebuild your backend — then you're definitely Master material. (And if you don't even know what a website is, then here, let us guide you through the Internet basics.)

Don't like to be pigeonholed? Sink-or-swim types can dive straight into our archives. Webmonkey has a slew of tutorials and articles, which we've sorted into seven magnificent categories: Authoring, Design, Multimedia, E-Business, Programming, Backend, and Jobs. Notice that each of these categories has a corresponding folder in the sidebar to your left. Click around and you'll discover they're filled with a juicy array of sub-categories, which should funnel you to the content you're looking for. Tired of clicking? The complete list of every sub-category will give you a nice, global view of the site.

Or just cut to the chase and use the Search box at the top of every page to find exactly what you're looking for.

Meet the Monkeys

The aptly named "About Webmonkey" folder at the bottom of our sidebar is where you'll find all the Monkey lowdown: who we are, who writes for us, our weird side projects, and the different iterations of our site (Webmonkey for Kids, Webmonkey Latin America, and Webmonkey Japan).
