How do I create a web site?

Question

I want to create a web site, but I don't know how to. How do I do that? Oh, and also, if i want people to view it, I probably just have to personally tell them about it, or wait for them to find it, right?

Answer 1

go to www.zymic.com and create a free account which will allow you to make your own website and website address (like www.example.com), however instead of being a .com or .au site the ending will look like .vncd.com



then you need to download a trial verson of adobe dreamweaver which will allow you to create your very own website without having to learn any coding :)

it is basically a program that beginners can use to do simple things like add an image, make links, change the font without knowing the coding for it.



once you have done those two things you will need to create a new HTML page on dreamweaver and make a layout for your website. you can google dreamweaver tutorials that will tell you how to do specific things. copy and paste the code that dreamweaver has generated for you and paste into onto a new page on your zymic account.



hopefully then when you click on save, the now online page will look exactly the same as it did in the dreamweaver program. the name that you chose to create your account will be the same name for the web address. you can give this web address to friends and family and when they type it into internet explorer or firefox (whichever internet browser they use) it will show up with your page.



eventually, if the site generates enough views per day, the site will show up on google when you type in related keywords



i hope i explained this so that you can understand. if you need more details then please post some additional information for me so that i can answer :)

I think that all the answers here are going to be way over your head. As a web design novice, you should visit a local web design user's group and let them mentor you. Go to Meetup.com, register so they have your zip code, then do a search on "web design" or "Wordpress" or "Blog." You should be able to find an excellent group near you that is willing to show you the ropes.



Web design can be very complicated if you actually want a web site that people can find and that will do the things you are expecting. I would suggest that outside of visiting a Meetup group, you start with something simple like a blog. Go to Blogger.com or Wordpress.com and sign up for a free account. Then, when you visit your local Meetup group, you will at least know what they are talking about.



Now, if you live out in the boonies and just can't find a Meetup group, then I suggest you sign up for Host Gator webhosting (about $5 a month) which has the Wordpress program on it free of charge. For $5 bucks a month you get excellent tech support who can help you install Wordpress over the phone. :) How easy is that?

As you may know a domain name is just a name, not a real website. If you are going to create your website: 1- Buy a domain name. A domain name is a name you want to call your website (ex: www.yahoo.com). To get a domain name, you have to pay an annual fee to a registrar for the right to use that name. 2- Buy a web hosting service to provide your online space and enable you to get your website online at your purchased domain name.



If you want to start your website I recommend purchase your domain and hosting together. In this way it is possible to get your domain for free. Some hosting services offer this gift today.



As an experienced webmaster I recommend BH web hosting which I’m sure it would work for you and fulfill all your requirements. They have a really great offer for hosting & I have used them for over 3 yrs now, and have never had a single problem with them.

(WYSIWYG: What You See Is What You Get) You can use this service optionally. You can also create the pages offline with your favorite program (DreamWeaver, FrontPage, Microsoft Publisher, etc.), and then upload them to your web host. This is another easy way to get your website online.

Answer 4

experts will tell you to learn HTML but this is a bit complicated and even if you are a genius it requires time.



there are some "free" sites but I don't recommend them as you may create the web site but it remains not really yours (they retain the ownership)



to create a web site the easy way you need

1) a webspace /domain (you can purchase it from http://www.visionhost.info and from many other sources)

2) a good and "human" web software such as http://www.easywebeditor.com (you create the site within this program, you push a button and it is on the web and everybody can see it)



to help people finding your web site you can suggest it to google at http://www.google.com/addurl.html

Answer 5

check http://neond.com and click on SUPPORT then Video tutorials. On video tutorials scroll down and watch all the videos so you will get an idea about setting up and managing your web site.



First you need to register a domain name for your site then buy a hosting account. You can search for available domain names by using the domain search box on NeonD homepage. If you have any queries about web sites then you can contact the support team on that web site.



You can advertise your web site online. One way to advertise your web site is by networking on facebook.com or myspace.com and making friends to whom you want to advertise your web site. You can also advertise your web site on google.

Answer 6

To create a web site you have to learn at least HTML language then create notepad file and write HTML and save with the extension .HTML then you are done

Answer 7

websites use, at the core, HTML. HTML(Hyper Text Markup Language) is a tag-based language, that is used to tell the web browser (IE/FireFox/Chrome/etc) how to display text.

Most of HTML's formatting has been deprecated for the strength and ease-of-use of CSS (Cascading Style Sheets), which can use either a separate style sheet file (.CSS) or in-line styles (something like: [ text here ]



If you're new-ish to this sort of thing, you'll likely want to tackle it either from a Dreamweaver orientation, using drag-and-drop methods to craft a site, or from a Photoshop orientation, drawing a site as an image, and having Photoshop cut it up into many little images to be used as a site.



Either method isn't for the faint-of-heart, and I'm not sure if there's another way. :P



At that point, you have your site, but it isn't hosted anywhere. You need to host it somewhere for people to see it. Sure, it's possible to host it from your computer, but you'll eat up bandwidth and likely get your internet service provider mad at you, if not boot you from them. Also, if you host it on your own PC, your PC must be on at all times for people to access it. So, instead, there's hosting companies out there. I'd recommend http://www.arvixe.com - they're awesome-sauce.



*Edit:

Oops, forgot to mention a few things. ^_^



AFTER you have a host, you still don't have a domain-name ( like google.com, aol.com, myspace.com). Without one of those, your internet address is something like 123.456.78.9, or similar (IP Address). With a domain name ($11-$20 or so a year, depending on registrar), you can have a friendly name for people to remember.



Now, after you have *THAT*, you can worry about marketing. You can either tell friends, and have them tell friends, etc, and you'll want to submit your site to google. Google has a whole section devoted to webmasters, check that out in your spare time.



With Marketing, you can look at two major pay-schemes for your campaign: Pay Per Click and Pay Per Impression. The first favours you paying a small (fraction of cents) fee for every time someone clicks on a link or banner that takes them to your site. The second, favours you paying a small (fractions of cents, again) fee for every x amount of views of said banner/link (usually around 1,000 or 10,000). Of course, if you design the banner yourself, you'll want the first option - you'll pay for what you get. If you get a super-awesome, high-action banner, you'd opt for the second option, as you can imagine most people out of a large crowd will click it, and it's usually cheaper per impression than it is per click. :P
