How to create a Web site  The main things you should know...

 

 

To create a Web site is now a a really common requirement. If you want to create a Web site yourself, without the expense of hiring an expert or specialized service, you may find it useful to read the following quick task list: 

 

1) Find some Web space (hosting). If you want the whole World to be able to see your Web pages (your personal ones, or your company site) the pages have to be hosted on a computer permanently connected to the Internet. There are many firms with dedicated Internet connections that offer this service for an annual or monthly fee. You are free to choose the one that best fits your needs. 

If you'd like to host with us, now we offer a basic web space (check the purchase page) or click here for other hosting offers. 

 

2) Buy a domain name. If your firm’s name is “Reed Steels”, it would be nice if your clients could find you by writing http://reedsteels.com or http://www.redsteels.com. To do this you have to buy (“register”) the “domain” reedsteels.com, and set it to point to your Web space (it is sufficient to talk with whoever sold you the Web space). There are services that deal exclusively with the selling of domain names, and others that also host Web sites. If you already own a free Web site, certain registration services allow you to redirect your domain name to the free Web space: this service is called “domain name forwarding”. For example www.yournicedomain.com may forward to www.geocities.com/intelligentpeople/7434/.. 

Some Web hosting companies do include the domain name in the Web hosting package (we recommend VisionHost that has a very low yearly fee). 

 

1b,2b) You can also purchase a static Internet link from your telephone or cable company. You will need a computer that is always switched on, with Web server software like Apache running. This is quite complicated if you are not a technician. 

 

3) Store the FTP parameters given to you by your hosting provider (as said, we recommend VisionHost that is very good) in a safe place. Generally they are server, user name, password, and will be required to publish your site. 

 

4) Search for a visual Website editor...... Hey, you are in the right place for this: EasyWebEditor is a formidable tool for creating Web sites of any kind. It can manage a Web site in a single solution, so it is much easier to use than more complex technically-orientated tools (click here to get it now!).  

 

5) Once you are happy with your site, you have to publish it to the Internet. If the software has a built-in FTP engine, it is very simple (EasyWebEditor includes this. Download the trial or purchase the regular edition, and see the internal step-by-step Tutorial). If not, you just need to search for a FTP software. 

 

6) When your site is published, it is a good idea to submit it to search engines. 

 

 

Creating a Web site is not a complicated task. With time and patience, and a slight artistic flare, you will obtain great results.
