How to create a website

STEPS FOR CREATING A WEBSITE

This Blog gives you an idea, how to make or create a website on your own. It is interesting to create your own website without any ones help. For a beginner, it seems a very difficult job but believes me it is very easy as easy as creating a facebook account. Ill taking you step by step through the whole process from the very beginning. Having a web site will give you an edge overall, in this digital world owning a website has become as important as owning a cell phone with internet. 

Are you ready, lets began the battle

Following are Step-by-Step process for Making Your Own Website

1. Get Your Domain Name

First of all, before doing anything else you need to get yourself a domain name. This is the name you want to give to your website. For example, the domain name of the website you're reading is "www.google.com". To get a domain name, you have to pay an annual fee to a registrar for the right to use that name. 

Getting a name does not get you a website or anything like that. It's just a name. It's sort of registering a business name; having that business name does not mean that you also have the shop premises to go with it. It is just a step into the .com world. Selecting a domain name is as important as having a secure account. So choose a domain name which is unique and simple.

2. Choose a Web Host and Sign Up for an Account

A web host is basically a company that has many computers connected to the Internet. When you place your web pages on their computers, everyone in the world will be able to connect to it and view them. You will need to sign up for an account with a web host so that your website has a home. If getting a domain name is analogous to getting a business name, getting a web hosting account is comparable to renting office or shop premises for your business.

3. Designing your Web Pages

Once you have settled your domain name and web host, the next step is to design the web site itself. In this article, I will assume that you will be doing this yourself. If you are hiring a web designer to do it for you, you can probably skip this step, since that person will handle it on your behalf.

Although there are many considerations in web design, as a beginner, your first step is to actually get something out onto the web. The fine-tuning can come after you've figured out how to publish a basic web page. One way is to use a WYSIWYG ("What You See Is What You Get") web editor to do it. Such editors allow you to design your site visually, without having to deal with the technical details. They work just like a normal wordprocessor.

3. Testing Your Website

You will need to test your web pages as you design them in the major browsers: Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer 11 and Microsoft Edge. All these browsers can be obtained free of charge, so it should be no hardship to get them. Unfortunately, directly testing your site is the only way you can be really sure that it works the way you want it to on your visitors' machines. In addition, if you have a smartphone, try out your site there too.

If you want to improve the chances that your website will work in future versions of all web browsers, consider validating the code for your web pages. In layman's language, this means that you should check that the underlying code of your web page, called "HTML" and "CSS", has no syntax errors. You don't actually need technical knowledge of HTML and CSS to validate the page, since you can use one of the numerous free web page validators around to do the hard work. 

4.Getting Your Site Noticed

First thing after creating a website is to showcase(popularise) your website in all possible mediums, it may be social media to search console. When your site is ready, you can submit it to the search engines. To do this, you will need to create a webmaster account at both the search engines, verify that you own the website, and submit it there. It's free.

Apart from submitting your site to the search engine, you may also want to consider promoting it in other ways, such as announcing it on your social media accounts, as well as in the usual way people did things before the creation of the Internet: advertisements in the newspapers, word-of-mouth, etc. There are even companies on the Internet, like PRWeb, that can help you create press releases, which may get your site noticed by news sites and blogs. 

Conclusion

Finally what I want to say is that before creating a website you must have a clear idea of what you are doing, and schedule what all the things that you are willing to do with your website. Creating a website is easy it won't take much time and a few dollars but you need to prove your self or to generate revenue from your website you need to popularise your website. At the end I want to say one thing that is don't give up at any cost, initially it takes time to get visitors, it doesn't mean that you failed in it.
