How to Make Your Own Website and a Few Easy to Follow Steps

[Dominick Arnold]

Do you want to learn how to make your own website? Making your own
website is not necessarily as hard as you might think. There are two
ways to make a website, and which way you decide to use entirely
depends on what the website is going to be designed for. The two
methods of website design are templates or designing a unique website
from the bottom up.
If you are not particularly familiar with web site design, and you are
creating a squeeze page or a small personal website then using a
template might be the preferred method for you. However, if you use a
template, you may find you get fewer hits, due to the fact the search
engines do not like copied or unoriginal material.
Creating original and unique website generally requires a lot more
work. However, it is really the only practical option if you want to
create something that looks professional and is most search engine
friendly. If you are not at all familiar with web site design, then
you may want to hire somebody to do the job for you, especially if you
want to have a more professional end result.
The most popular programs used in web design a Microsoft FrontPage and
Dreamweaver. Dreamweaver is the preferred web design programme and
also helps to create compatible websites which can easily be viewed in
a multitude of different browsers. The disadvantage of Microsoft
FrontPage, tends to be that it is biased towards Internet Explorer.
Alternatively, you could also use a WYSIWYG (or what you see is what
you get close) editor. These are often included with web hosting
services and can make the job a lot easier. This is ideal if it is
your first website and you are not looking for something that is
particularly unique or professional. This form of web design basically
allows you to design the website as you would view it.
