Ever asked yourself how can I build my own free website? After all you need to be a geek and have a degree in maths don’t you?
Well the good news is that with software packages becoming simpler to use all of us can now do it for ourselves (if we have the time and inclination).
You will simply need the following:- 1. A computer (well you must have that or you would not have found this). 2. An internet connection.3. A domain name (that is the www bit).4. Web Space. 5. A software package to generate the website commonly called “web authoring software”.6. A software package to load the web pages to the internet commonly called FTP (file transfer protocol).It has never been easier to build your own website. Do you need to have an understanding of the technical stuff? Well you do not need to be an expert but it is easier if you have a little understanding how it hangs together.
Do not despair the information you need is readily available all over the internet.Before you begin, work out what you want to put on your website, and roughly how you want it to look. For your first attempt try and keep it simple. Spend a little time in the planning; remember that first impressions count and people will judge your business by what is put on your website. If your website looks unprofessional with spelling mistakes etc people will also assume that your business is unprofessional.So how much will it cost and can you do it all for free. A domain name (the www bit) will have a small cost anything from approximately 5 dollars and upwards – not a huge cost.You will also need some web space. Sometimes the company you are renting your internet connection from will give you some free web space, the downside with this free web space is that it will not always get crawled and therefore NOT appear in search engines like Google.
To “code” a website (oh no that sounds technical) you can get a free WYSISYG(What you see is what you get) web authoring software. This really is quite simple to use – you generate what you want your website to look like and the software produces that code stuff.You can also get free FTP software (this you will need to copy that code to your web space).
The Free software will allow you to build your own website and load it to your web space with no cost. So get your thinking cap on and start planning your own website.
