"I
Decided To Create A Website"
A Beginner Creates
A Website
It is easier to
create
a website than it has
ever been before. Even a few years ago, you needed
a considerable amount of experience and knowledge
to design your own website.
If you want to create web
pages, there are innumerable ways to do it. For me,
I just wanted to create a family website, one where
I could show off family photos and share memories
and stories with other family members.
When I first decided to
create a website, I was hesitant about the idea of
a wiki, although it was what was suggested to me by
friends who know about the web. A wiki is a site
where anyone who wants to can edit content at any
time, and even post pictures or music to the site.
I was worried that if I were
to design web pages like that, some random jerk
could come along and deface it, or even post
objectionable things on it which might shock and
traumatize my children. I definitely did not want
that to happen!
My First Step To Create A
Website
Originally, I used
livejournal to create a website. It let me easily
add content with no knowledge required to organize
my words, and could be easily update any time I
wanted.
Eventually, I was convinced
by a family member that no one would mess with my
wiki if I made one, and it would save me time, not
having to edit everyone's postings and put them up
myself. Of course, I had
to learn some basic programming to create a
personal website from scratch, but it wasn't as
difficult as you might think, and was extremely
rewarding.
If You Plan To Create A
Small Business Website ...
To create a business website,
like my wife had to, however, is a different thing
altogether. Let me tell you, it can be a nightmare
to design new websites that attract lots of
targeted traffic and gets good search engine
ratings, and has the capability to handle online
financial transactions to boot.
Who Wants To Learn All
That Alone?
My wife didn't, that's for
sure. She hired
a website specialist to
create a website for her. They found
good
hosting, incorporated
images which she chose, optimized it to increase
browser hits, and all around designed
her business website so
that she could worry about other things.
They even had a guarantee for
anyone who wasn't happy, but I'll tell you, she
sure was happy with the service. She owns a poster
store specializing in vintage rock and roll
posters, and since she hired a programmer to create
a website for her, business has gone up 100
percent!
So, if you've got it on your
mind to create a website, proceed with caution and
lots of research as to whether you want to
design
your own Internet site
or hire a
professional web design service.
The choice is yours.
