For beginners and non techies who want to learn how to make a website, here’s an easy does it guide to putting together your very own website:
Step One: Register your domain name.
Before you even think about how your website should look like or what visitors should be able to do in it, you should first think about a good domain name—and register it right away. A domain name is what people see in the URL of the website. That’s what follows the “www.” in every URL. When deciding on your domain name, keep in mind that it should be catchy and easy to remember. It should also be relevant to the business that it represents. You can secure your domain name by paying an annual fee to register it under your name.
Step Two: Find a web hosting service provider.
Now, you might be asking, what is a web host and what does hosting have to do with how to make a website? Web hosts are companies that are engaged in providing storage space within their servers to their clients. These servers are connected to the Internet, so that anyone who wants to view any website that is housed or hosted in the web host can connect to the web host server and view the site. In short, the web host gives your website its very own home—or more precisely, its very own rented space—in the World Wide Web.
Step Three: Think about how you want your website to look like.
Now that you have a domain name and a host for your website, it is time to consider the design of your web pages. You can either hire a web designer to do this or, if you have the talent and the know how to do this, you can take a shot at designing your own website. After designing your basic website, you can move on to fine tuning its features. If you don’t want to complicate your life, you can try using a “What You See Is What You Get” (WYSIWYG) editor. This type of web editor allows you to edit the site in the same way that you see it, so you don’t have to contend with technicalities.
Step Four: Test your website.
Test your website for compatibility with all the Internet browsers there are, including Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, Opera and Safari. Make sure to test the website also on the latest versions to make sure all the links and features are working the way you intend them to work. Spend some time on this step instead of going through it hurriedly.
Step Five: Be in the search engines.
Especially if you are selling something in your website, or if you plan on selling advertising space, you will need to submit your website URL to the major search engines, including Google. There are probably millions of websites that go live every day, so even the Internet giants like Google need help. You can do this easily by logging on to the Google site and following the instructions on how to make a website searchable by Google.
