how to create a website?

Creating a website. Sounds complicated, doesn't it? It isn't. You don't need to be a techie or learn any type of complicated code either. If you are creating a website for the first time, bookmark this site. It will be really useful to you. I tell you everything you need to know and walk you through each step of the process - free!

There are three main steps to creating a web site:

1. Get a Domain Name

2. Choose a Web Host

3. Creating a Web Site
To build a website yourself you need some type of web building software. There are two ways you can get this software:

1. Free from your web host. Some web hosts provide a web site builder that includes free hosting and email. This is the best choice for beginners. All you need to do is click on the design you want and then add your text. It's really easy. I recommend the web site builders at both Act Now Domains and iPowerweb. Both are really sharp, easy to use and best of all are really cheap.

If you want to sell products on your site and accept credit cards, you can also use either Act Now Domains (they call it the Quick Shopping Cart) or iPowerweb. You will need to sign up with an outside credit card processor for this. Check out my make money page for more info about the credit card processors so you don't end up buying a lot of stuff you don't need or going with a bad one.

2. From an outside vendor. The most popular build a website software is Microsoft's Front Page. It is a great program and will offer you much more flexibility than the website builder that you get from your web host, but it can take a while to learn. Plus it usually costs between$150-200. If you want to get it, the cheapest place I've found for it is Amazon. Click here to get Microsoft FrontPage. They have a special on now so it's less than $120.

If this is your first website, I suggest you just go with the build a website software that comes with your web hosting account. It is a lot easier, doesn't cost very much and once you get the hang of how to build a website then you can branch out to Front Page later.
Do's and Don'ts of Building a Website

Regardless of what software you use to build a website, there are some basic do�s and don�ts you need to keep in mind. It's very easy to get carried away on your first site and do things that send visitors away which is most definitely not what you want to do.

When you build a website:

Do keep your web site simple. Don't cram it full of clutter. Unless it's a how-to site like this one, the less text, the better.

Do make it eye pleasing. No crazy fonts or colors. The standard fonts for web sites are Arial, Verdana and Times New Roman. Whatever font you decide on, use it throughout your site. Don't alternate fonts.

Don't use a Flash introduction. Web designers love this, but most people click off as soon as they see it loading. The object is to get people to see your web site, not drive them away.

Don't put music or sound files on your site. It startles people when they are surfing and suddenly hear music blaring out. Their immediate reaction is to back track immediately.

Don't put a lot of slow-loading graphics on your page. No matter how pretty the graphics are, people aren't going to stick around and wait for them to load. You can optimize your images for free at NetMechanic.com. What this means is that you load the image onto Net Mechanic's web page and they will condense the size of the image for you, then let you pick the image you like from the results. Usually you can reduce the size by 50% or more without there being a noticeable change in quality.

Do make sure visitors to your site can tell at a glance what your site is about. For example, if you sell widgets, make sure that's evident right up front. Most people will leave in the first five seconds if they don't think your site offers them what they are looking for. They aren't going to take the time to scroll around to see if you have what they need. Make it immediately clear to them what your site is about.

Don't use pop-ups on your web site. Visitors find these really annoying. The less you annoy a visitor, the more likely he or she is to stay.
How to Upload your Website to your Web Host Account

Once you have built a website, you need to get it from your computer to your web host's server. This process is called "uploading" your files. Some places call it "publishing your website." Either way it's the same process.

If you are using the build a website software from your web host, all of your website files will already be on your web host's servers so all you will need to do is click a button. The button is usually Publish or Submit.

If you are using Front Page to build a website, you will need to make sure that Front Page extensions have been enabled on your web host account. Some web hosts require you to ask for these, some hosts have them already set up for you.

Once that is done, you will click the Publish to Web button, then follow the instructions listed. At one point it will ask for your destination. This is the name of your domain. For example, http://www.4creatingawebsite.com When it asks for username and password, give the name and password your web host gave you or that you created yourself when you signed up for your web host account.

If you are using another software program to build a website, you will need FTP software installed on your computer. This will allow you to get your website files from your computer to your hosting account.

I use ws_ftp LE because it's easy to use and it's free

As mention, you need to pick a domain name. This is your URL. Then you need a hosting company. I use bluehost because its very easy, reasonably priced, and you can then set up a wordpress site free.

However, a really simple and easy way to make a really professional website might be with this new product called TK Explosion Easy Website Builder. This helps those that aren't real tech savvy.

First of all try to learn html and css. then make a website using dreamweaver or css. then buy a domain and an webhost and host your site

You can either use HTML language for creating a website or the simple Microsoft Front Page and the upload it into the Internet.

The best way to start is to visit an on line free web page creator site like pages.googles.com.It allows you to create a web page of your own the way you wants it to be.Besides it will also host the page.Get the feel of it and keep on trying to add features and materials.When the page is created view the source codes using menu view>page source to understand the web page language .Once you get savvy enough to do it your own way you may consider writing your own web pages and then host it in some free or paid host site so that you can have a domain name(your web page address) of your own

Hi Divya,

Now, there are a lot of alternatives. I'll give you the simpliest way. Once done, just practice and go further.
To publish a web site you need:
- an Internet hosting
- the content

That is:
For the Internet hosting you can rent a Domain name and the web space on a public server. But I suggest you, as a good start, to use a free web hosting, it's free but you don't own a Domain Name, like "www.yoursite.com". To visit your web site, the address will be somethig like "http://freespace.com/yoursite/".

To create the content: the most used format is html. There are some dedicated software (Dreamweaver, Office FrontPage, etc). For the beginning create a new document with Microsoft Word, type something within and save it as index.html, then just transfer it to the folder that the free web provider indicated you as the web folder. Now you have a free and easy to do web site. Dipends on you to get better, just dedicate some time to improve it.
After this, if you need more, acquire a Domain Name and some space from the same provider or just use the link under to make a decision.
You can get even more than this, with the Domain Name you can get some emai addresses. Like [email protected]
