How this site is build

First of all, I am not a web designer, but the most important part is to make documents of each radio in Microsoft Word 2010 or Libre Office Writer.
Another part is a good picture editor, like Photo Impact 12 (Asus) or GIMP.
Before making a website, make a good directory structure, with the brand names, image directories and other directories.
A good and free WYSIWYG HTML5 editor for beginners is Blue Griffon and works well on Windows, Apple OS X and Linux.

Warnings have simply been omitted to avoid repetition and to keep the meaning of the description concise. Live equipment is always dangerous.
