How To Make Your Own Website

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

There was a time when making websites was a daunting task, where you’d need to learn all the mumbo-jumbo of programming, HTML, Dreamweaver, Photoshop, etc.

It is no longer the case now, as there are lots of tools available, free or paid, where you can generate functional great looking websites in mere clicks.

Here are the step by step to make your own website:
1. Think of a niche
Most successful websites are centered around a particular idea, which is expandable and in-demand from web visitors. Find a niche that you know well and are comfortable with, then check it out at https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal to see if the niche is popular

2. Choose your domain name
Most if not all one-word domain names are taken up by now. Be creative and get a two-word domain name. Example, if your chosen niche is about baby, then your domain name can be babyresources.com . Use nametumbler.com to help you choose your domain name.

3. Buy domain name and hosting
There are many domain name and hosting providers in the Internet, from those with fantastic service till the not so great one. We suggest using HostGator hosting service. From just $4.95 per month, you get a Cpanel hosting for unlimited number of websites. The $50 Google Adwords credit free with the hosting will certainly help when you are promoting the site.

4. Install the publishing script
If your hosting has Fantastico support (such as HostGator), you can install a number of ready website script with just a few clicks. I would recommend using WordPress for easy installation & setup, ease of use, great functionality, and fervent community support. Read about how to install WordPress with Fantastico, or more information about WordPress.

5. Web promotion
The cheapest way to promote your website is via search engine optimization. Learn about DIY search engine optimization, or if you have the budget, consider promoting your website via Google Adwords.

I was able to build my own website with shopping cart and all in just about 2 days using the http://pagebuzz.com website builder online. You are not kidding when you say it is all click and go. It really is simple to do.

I don’t usually recommend using subscription service for building websites, but well, that is one option.

I prefer using WordPress than other scripts or creating HTML sites. WordPress is far far better.

Also I wanted to contact you personally. Can you please give me your e-mail id or create a contact form?

I do not personally recommend using online template as first stop in making website. It is so backward compared to wide range of web script now available.
