Design Your Own Website- It Is Simple

by on March 5, 2008

To design your own website, you first need to choose a domain name for the website. As an example, “yourcompanyname.com.” To reserve a domain name, you have to pay a registrar an annual fee for the right to use the domain name of your choice for the next year.

Just because you register a domain name, that doesn’t mean you’re finished with setting up your site. So far, all you have is that brand name. It’s the virtual equivalent of having a firm name for an offline company without having set up a store or office to operate from.

A web host is basically a company that has many computers connected to the Internet. When you place your web pages on their computers, everyone in the world will be able to connect to it and view them. You will need to sign up for an account with a web host so that your website has a home.

Getting a domain name is very similar to getting a business name for a brick and mortar company. Obtaining a web hosting account is similar to renting business space for a brick and mortar company. After you get your domain name and web host, you will then want to start to design your own website.

Although there are many considerations in web design, as a beginner, your first step to design your own website is to actually get something out onto the web. The fine-tuning can come after you’ve figured out how to get a basic web page onto your site. There are many commercial and free web editors around.

The Internet is a valuable resource for obtaining educational tutorials pertaining to the use of free software. These simple tutorials will give you the opportunity to learn how to create a website that has a home page, page information, a site map, links page, and a great feedback form. You will learn the pertinent information needed to learn about basic software features, along with website improvement and updating information.

A crucial aspect of web development is optimizing your site for search engines. This should be undertaken from the very start of the design process. In addition, there are a number of other concerns involved in developing web pages.

Obtaining a domain name is the first step to take when you want to design your own website. To do so, you need to pay a fee for the right to use the domain name you want. This does not mean that you have a site yet, however. The next step is to buy space from a web hosting service. Then your site will be live on the net. The site you host will be where you do business with your customers. There are many lessons online on how to build your site. Make sure to plan ahead and prep your site to be found in search engines.
