Create A Record From Submit Button on VF Page

Hello:

I have what I think is a fairly simple request but not really sure how to get started.

I have a VF page that is exposed internally to a group of sales folks to capture information that needs to result in the creation of a record on a custom object.

I have the VF page set up, I just need some guidance on how to write the logic in the submit button. The fields on the VF page would map to fields in custom object Notifications__c.

Here is the VF code:

<apex:page >
    <head>
        <style type="text/css">
            fieldset {
                font-weight:bold;
                width:500px;
                height:400px;
                }
            legend{
                font-size:150%
                }   
            label.field{
                width:200px;
                dispaly:block;
                float:left;             
                }
            button{
                float:right;
                }          
           
        </style>
    </head>
       
       <fieldset>

The apex page you have created should use the standard controller for Notifications__c class and can use the SAVE() to store the information in the Notifications__c object when you press the Submt button

VF page :  including the controller
<apex:page standardController="Notifications__c">

calling the save function from the submit button:
<apex:commandButton value="Submit" action="{!save}"/>
