I recently decided to build a website and was determined
that I would do this for free. I started my research in earnest and I used the
web as the primary tool.
Now if you have ever done this you most definitely have
found, as I did, that you get bombarded with so much useless information, scam
artists and effectively very little information that can show you how to do
this free.
It took me almost two weeks to sort through the rubbish and
eventually come up with a plan. Fortunately it just took me a couple of days to
implement this plan. So in summary here are the steps that I took to build a
free website:
1.
Find a web builder. In my case I
used the free Coffeecup HTML editor.
2.
Add your HTML. Again I found a format
that I liked for my site and downloaded the templates free from freewebsitetemplates.com.
3.
Learn to work with HTML. I opened
my free templates using coffecup and started to play around, add text and shape
it the way I wanted it. You may think how can I learn HTML? but it really is
easy and with coffeecup you can monitor every change you make.
4.
Name your Site. Here you need to
consider the purpose of you site and whether you want traffic to it. Also you
need to determine if the name is not already used. You can check this for free
at sites like Fatcow.com.
5.
Choose your Web Host. Now there
are many sites that will host you for free but many of them will have their tag
in your site name. So I recommend that you are better off paying for a
professional host and it is quite cheap really.
In summary the biggest obstacle for me was getting to the
right information and staying focussed as you could spend hours reading
emails, signing up to useless sites and getting supposed free
downloads.
