Before you build your final website, be sure to come back and study the lessons on planning, researching keywords and color.
Research and Planning
Since the underlying goal of any website is to attract visitors, the Research section of our website will deal with finding the right keywords that relate to the content of your site. Even if you are building your website with a tool that doesn't require a knowledge of HTML coding, you should complete this research before you start cranking out web pages.
The Planning section of our website deals with the aspects of structuring content, choosing colors and the layout of web pages.
Choosing a Web Host
Many people choose their web host by price and the advertised amount of web storage space and bandwidth they offer. This is the worst way to choose a web hosting company. The best hosting always includes the BEST possible Technical Support. Check this first.
If you prefer cheap web hosting choose shared web hosting. We use it and our website is over 1200 web pages.
Build your website with their tools or your own. HTML or CMS tools like Joomla and WordPress, it's all included.
Most even include a free domain name and instant FREE set up.
A Word About CMS and Blogging
If you are planning a website that will require membership and interaction with visitors, you may want to consider a Content Management System or BLOG.
A CMS like Joomla! or BLOG like WordPress requires Very Minor Coding Experience and can be easily installed on your web space using a script installer provided by your web host.
Joomla! is also well documented with downloadable manuals and visual tutorials. WordPress' features and documentation are improving on a regular basis.
CMS offers built in features like membership registration, site search, user feedback, polls and other interactive tools.
