Make Your Own Websites

A few years ago when you decided to make your own websites it would cost a small fortune to employ a web designer to design the site,

• Another huge amount of money to have someone write the content for your site (Known as a copywriter)
• Pay an enormous amount of money to someone to “host” the site (this is where the physical part of your website lives so people can access it)
• Buy a domain name (that is your mywebsite.com or mywebsite.co.uk etc..)

This was the common formula for almost every professional website in the world over the last decade, but now it is becoming easier to do away with the huge cost of websites and begin to make your own websites.

There are a few easy tips to bear in mind when thinking about your website. The first of which is, what do you want the website to do?

• Advertise your business on the web and sell products online
• Advertise your business on the web but sell services offline (IE plumber, electrician, store, business manager, accountant etc.)

Make your decision about what you want the site to do FIRST! Then write down what you want to say. It doesn’t have to be some amazing use of the English language. Just tell people about your service or product, let then know why it is so good or such good value.

Don’t worry about how you are going to get this on the internet. Just concentrate on telling the world who you are and what you do.

Now you have the words, you need to put them somewhere, For this you will need 3 things. Web Hosting, a Domain name and a Web Template.

In days gone by, this would have cost you thousands but now they cost a lot less than a tiny ad in the yellow pages, and who gets more visitors the internet or the yellow book?

Web hosting can be purchased monthly for $6.95 per month, that’s less then $85 per year for your very own hosting. And don’t worry if you are not in the USA as it’s only £40 per year! I live in the UK and have hosting with them that’s 4 times cheaper than the same hosting based in the UK

This means you can have more than one website too. So you could host one for a friend or colleague charge them the monthly fee and it’s cost you nothing!

Hostgator will also register your domain name for you for $15 (that’s £7) per year too!

Now the only other thing you will need is the website template to put your content into (remember the description you wrote earlier)

Dreamtemplates.com have over 6000+ website templates for you to choose from for just $59.95 (£37) that’s 1 cent per template!. All you have to do is choose the one you think looks best for your site, they are all in categories so don’t think you have to trawl through thousands of pages.

Then you simply copy and paste your description you wrote earlier into the template.

And simply follow the instructions to posting it onto your website.

And there you have it, your own website online
