First Time Web Site

 

A website put together by yourself will give you a great sense of pride and accomplishment. The first time for my own website went as follows :

  • Registered for a web host that allows uploads of your own files.
  • FTP program to upload.
  • Print Shop Web Designer
  • Used Free clip art from the Internet
  • Used Free HTML codes
  • Experimented with the various design tools in my Print Shop Web Designer.
  • Designed and set my text and images
  • Saved
  • Uploaded

I found it very easy to get a web site up. This was a few years ago and am sure the process hasn't changed too much. I'd also recommend if you can't afford paying for a domain to get a free account where you can eventually upgrade to paying for your own domain. There are many hosts available --> here.

The skills you gain and knowledge you learn along the way are beyond priceless. You will thoroughly enjoy this project. Good luck!

Its funny because making a website used to be difficult and time consuming and now, after I have made 15 websites, I can make one in 5 minutes. Wordpress and Blogger made this even easier.

I bought a domain a month ago but I didn't know how to use it. as a result I refunded what was left of my money. Now I have a free blog and I am enjoying it. Thanks for the article.
