Why should I Build a Web Site?
There a many ways you can gain an internet presence, and many organisations ready to help you ... for a price. However building your own site, with you own domain, has substantial advantages over having a web developer build a site for you, using a standard a template based site, or setting up a straight blog...
- You own the site and the site content. You are in control and are not trapped into using any particular service provider. As long as you maintain your domain registration it is yours.
- You have complete flexibility, you are not tied to someone else's schedule or availability.
- You can easily maintain your site adding current and up to date content.
- Your site is expandable, quickly and easily.
- By being involved in your site you will gain understanding and skills allowing you to make better decisions relating to how you use the internet.
- Knowledge also makes you less susceptible to web developers and marketers of questionable expertise (...and there are lots). Knowledge is power.
- It will allow you to leverage the internet...providing a very high return on investment.
- It is cheap and excellent value.
- By taking control your site will tend to be more content focused (because that is your area of expertise) as opposed to just looking pretty (which is nice but probably not what your visitors came to your site for).
- It is easy.
How do I Build a Web Site?
Three basic steps
- Select a domain name ie mydomain.com and register it. Registration is often included as part of a web hosting package.
- Select a hosting company, for a monthly fee they will provide you with space on their server which is connected to the internet. This is where your web pages will live.
- Create and upload your web site files to your host server. If you are using Site Builder Software this is as simple as uploading the Site Code files and adding Content directly from your browser.
To build a Site Code based web site your server host must support php. If you do not currently have a hosting company we use and recommend IX Web Hosting.
