How To Make A Website

Makiing A Website
Welcome to the world of website creation. I you you want to make your own website you've come to the right place. Making a website isn't extremely difficult and it's certainly not as expensive to make a website as people would lead you to believe.

You'll find that I'm not trying to sell you anything on this website although I provide reliable options to help make a website easier and more affordable. So sit back, browse this website and begin to realize how easy it is to make a website.

Below I've listed 3 basic steps to get a website started. I'm assuming that you already have a few ideas running through your head so let's get started!

Step 1 - Register A Domain Name

Once you've decided on an pursuing a website idea one of the first things you'll want to do is register a domain name. There are quite a few things to consider when registering a domain name. I've put together a list of common domain name registration tips.

Domain prices have come down in price recently and can be found for as little as $6.95 with a reputable domain registrar. Some companies run upwards of $35 per year and there is no difference the quality of the domain. The only difference you'll find is a few of the free benefits from certain registrars.

With WebsiteSpot.com you will receive a free website starter page, online photo sharing, blog software, email forwarding accounts among a few other things for only $6.95 per year.


 

Step 2 - Choose How You're Going To Build Your Website

There are a lot of different options when it comes to making a website. Do you hire a web designer or do you build it from scratch or do you use an online website builder?

Each has it's benefits and it's drawbacks. View this link to read some additional detail about each website creation option. The things to consider is your HTML knowledge, the amount of time you have and ultimately what your website is about.

If you're not interested in learning about HTML coding before you make a website your best bet is to go with an online website builder. The only problem is that you lose some flexibility in regards to the site.

If you're wanting to make a website from scratch or use a website template you're probably best suited for a full What You See Is What You Get (WYSIWYG) editor. The popular choices for this are Adobe Dreamweaver, Microsoft FrontPage, or CoffeeCup which is free. These options will give you the flexibility to do pretty much anything you'd like to do.

Lastly is a web designer, it's going to cost you more but you're free of all of the knowledge to get a professional website online. Before you decide to go with this option be sure to read about hiring a web design company.

 

Step 3 - Find A Web Hosting Company

Once you make a website you will need to find a company that serves as your web host. This company provides the space on their servers to publish your website.

There's no reason to pay a lot for web hosting.  There are companies out there taking advantage of people's lack of knowledge about web hosting and charging $20 and $25 per month for very basic hosting that offers no help (web building tools) for beginners.

You can find options for as little as $4.95 per month and offer more space & features that you'll ever need. WebsiteSpot.com offers affordable web hosting and 24 hour support. I've also put together a list of web hosting reviews of other reputable companies that offer affordable web hosting as well.

Making Money Online

Ultimately I'm assuming the purpose is to make money online and eventually be able to work from home. The very first thing I was to say is that there isn't such thing as a Get Rich Quick opportunity. Everything you earn, especially at the beginning is going to be earned through hard work.

With that said, there are a few options that give you a leg up on your competition. Take a look at the video below for an option that I strongly recommend whether you're just starting out or if you've successfully made multiple websites.
