Create your own website - Online BusinessYou do not have to be a tech savvy to create your own website.  With your basic skills and useful resources on the internet, you can build your own website easily and put it live on the internet immediately.  Here are the easy basic steps in simple language.

Step 1:             Ready the Things You Need in Creating Your Own Website

The things you need are the following:

  • Computer- one of the two main tools you will use all the time to build your website.
  • Internet Connectivity– the other main important tool you need.  This is where you will access valuable resources to help you build your website.  From the internet, you can download files and programs necessary to simplify the website building process.

Step 2: Put Your Basic Computer and Internet Skills to Work

Throw away the misconception that you need to know computer programming or possess advanced technical skills to build your website.  Several good programs online will make it easy for you to build your website even when you have only basic computer and internet skills.

You will only need to use the basic functions of your computer, your ability to browse the internet, typing skills, and your basic understanding of word processors.  You can put these skills to work to start to create your own website.

Step 3: Think About A Name for Your Website

If you browse the internet, you are familiar with website address that you typically see on the address bar of your internet browser.  You will be creating one for your own website.  Think about a unique name that will serve as your website address on the internet.  This is what you call your domain name.

Domain name is optional depending whether you are availing free web hosting or paid web hosting services.  With paid web hosting, you will have full control of your website including your own domain name.  You can register your own domain name or have your web host do it for you.

An example of a domain name is www.google.com.  If you have your own domain name, it will look similar or something as this: www.yourdomainname.com.  For free web hosting, your name will appear as an appendage of your web host’s domain or something like this:  www.yourname.google.com following the given example.

Step 4: Avail the Services of a Web Host

You need a web host to put your website live on the internet.  Your web host will publish your website as they have the resources to connect your site with all other computers connected online.   You have two options:  one is to avail the free web hosting services and another is to upgrade to the paid web hosting services.  With the first option, you have limited control of your website.  If you want full control, the second option is best for you.

Non-geeks like you will surely find these steps easy and simple to follow to create your own website.  You can find tools online that will simplify the process of website building.  Your web host will also make it easier and convenient for you to maintain your website online.
