Four Easy Steps For Building A Website

by Michael Blair

As the title says “the steps for building a website” are pretty simple:

1. Unless you really want to hit the books and learn all about the coding you need to know so as to make web pages you get a website builder and without much effort you can produce a website or website’s that do what you need them to do.

These applications, along with some templates that you can also get for free or purchase, let you put together web pages without much knowledge when it comes to HTML.

You can do a search for “free website builder” (only about 600,000 – 700,000 listings out there) and try a few out.

Then there are successful websites built with applications where all you have to do is put words into the application, or tell the application the .doc files or .txt files that already have the content/articles that you have written and these programs can generate a 5 page website or up to a 1,000 page website in a matter of moments. Sure, you do have to buy these and they are pretty inexpensive, but instead of helping you with one page, they build the whole website.

Now there are also applications, WYSWYG applications (What You See is What You Get). This makes designing a website more like typing a document in a word processor and is something that just about anyone can understand. You type, like you do in Word or WordPerfect, and it converts what you type into the HTML coding that a web page needs. These are somewhat pricey, but they

2. Another thing you need, of course is a, domain name. Do a search for “choose a domain name” and you will find the steps to selecting a good domain name (there are too many suggestions for this article). Another idea is to go check out NameBoy.com, they are totally free and may help you find the domain name you want. You should not use the name of a well-known company or product, any variation of that name, in hopes of attracting people to your site. Not only is this unethical and it may subject you to legal problems.

3. The next thing to do is to find “hosting” for your website. A host is who puts your website on the Internet. You give them your file, you FTP the files from your computer to theirs and “viola” your website appears.

4. Creating content, or have someone do it for you, the stuff that fills the page, holds the visitors interest, attracts the search engines and sells whatever it is that you are selling affiliate products, your own products, ebooks, or even Adsense.

You can write these yourself or you can hire people, online, who can write for you.

That about it! It can be more elaborate, but you can do that later, the important thing is that you have a website up and running. You should know that you have already done more than the majority of people out there, you built a website and put it up on the Internet

After that you’ll want to work on generating traffic to your website via manually submitting your site to some of the search engines, writing and submitting articles, and maybe even setting up a blog.
