Answer 2

1. Get a Domain Name - either from GoDaddy or Fasthost.co.uk.



2. Purchase the Web Hosting one. The Basic or Home Package should be sufficient enough.



3. Purchase Microsoft Expression Web 3 Trial. You would create your website their just as if you were creating a Presentation - it's really easy to use.



4. Save your Homepage as index.html, and all other sites by it's title. Save each page in 1 folder.



5. Download FileZilla. Login to your Web Host Provider, just like you would on their website, but with FileZilla.



6. Click the Folder that should be named either /Root or /Public_Html or similar. You'll understand what I mean when you download and use FileZilla.



7. Upload your Webpages into that folder.



8. You're done.



There is hundreds of free sources online that should help aid you. If you get stuck on any points of the above - then email me and I'll help you further. Microsoft Expression Web 3 is really, really easy for you - and does all the coding etc for you.



Another option you could take, is download a free template - then upload those files via FileZilla. There are hundreds and thousands of free web templates.



Hope that helps. If you do get stuck on any point, please do email me I'll be more than happy to provide assistance - however, I'm sure you'll find Microsoft Expression Web 3 really easy.

Answer 3

Its really not tough at all.







Some people or websites tend to make having a website more difficult than it seems.



You dont need to get a domain name first.



First you get your web host. They provide everything you need, including a FREE domain name.

They also give you great apps to create the website.



If this is your first time, I suggest using Wordpress. Its easy to use and gives you great results. All you do is pick a theme, and then plug in your information into little text boxes.The website will look very professional. Your host will supply Wordpress and all the help you need to get going.





Thats it. Get a web host.(about $45. a year) then create the site with Wordpress.





Good luck
