It's not as hard as it might seem to build your own website. You don't need to spend a fortune to employ a web designer.You don't need to understand HTML (computer code) That's the greatest most exciting thing!! You reallycan build a website with very little money and a few basic skills that anyone can quickly learn. If you can point a cursor and click you are half way there!
Ok, I got a little carried away there, as I said there are things to learn, and you have to be willing to ride the learning curve, but don't panic- it is a short,gentle learning curve.When I started online I didn't have a clue how to create a website, but I can truthfully say that, now, it holds no fears for me. The funny thing is that, although I have had problems, really frustrating moments when I felt like giving up, it was well worth it when I got my first website published and live online. WOW, what a feeling of achievement! A fantastic buzz!!
Choose a Domain Name
The first thing to do is decide on a Domain Name. This is the name you choose for your site and that will appear on the search engine results. Obviously you will want a domain name that is related to your web content.You will need to search online for a Domain Name Registrar, check if your chosen name is available and register it.This will cost you about $10 for 12 months. It's a simple process. Try to get one that ends in.com if possible.
Web Hosting
The next thing to do is to get your domain hosted (housed) online. There are thousands of hosting companies online, but I suggest that you have a look at just the first page, or two, of Google otherwise you waste a lot of time. It is important to find a web hosting company that gives you free add-on domains in the package, so that you can register any new web site domains FREE.
Once you have set up your web hosting you will be able to build your web pages and upload them to your host.
Free Tools
There are a few tools you will need to make your own website, but they are all free.
Web Templates
A web template is a pre-designed webpage without content or images. Web templates eliminate the need for a professional webpage designer.You can choose from a huge choice of basic free web templates online, download and save them on your PC.
An HTML Editor
An HTML editor is software that converts text and images into HTML (computer code or language) and vice versa.This enables you to add content, i.e. text and images to your web template.
You can pay hundreds of dollars for HTML editing software such as "Dreamweaver" or "firstpage" but in my experience these excellent editors have a very steep learning curve and unless you are planning a career in web design, take too long to master. I use a great HTML editor called "Kompozer" It's FREE to download, easy to use, and more than adequate for creating professional looking web pages.
An FTP Client
In order to upload your web page(s) to the web you need to use an FTP client. This is basically software that transfers your web files (web pages) from your computer to your hosting site online. I use "Filezilla" which is probably the most popular. Filezilla is FREE to download to your PC, and is very easy to use.
What Now?
Well although I have explained what you need to create your own website you are probably thinking "but exactly how do I do this?" and that it the problem that most people face when they want to build their own web sites.There seems to be very little help available and no one willing to share their knowledge with newcomers. It's almost as if this is a closely guarded secret and if you want that knowledge you will have to pay a premium for it...
DON'T PAY ANYTHING!!
