Website development has long ceased to be the domain of exclusively professionals. Nowadays, even those who only in general terms imagine the process of functioning of the global network have the opportunity to make their own website.
It is necessary
- a computer;
- access to the Internet;
- free time.
Instructions
Step 1
First you need to understand what the site is. By definition, a site is a number of electronic documents located at a specific address on the Internet. So, the task boils down to the fact that in one way or another you need to create a certain number of documents prepared for viewing them in browsers, assign them a unique address and upload them to the server.
Step 2
Paradoxically, but you need to start creating a website from the end. You will need to clearly understand what kind of site you want to make, what topic it will be devoted to, think over its functional features, design and design. Depending on this, you will need to choose certain tools for creating a website.
Step 3
The simplest site, consisting of one or two pages containing text and illustrations, can be made directly in the Notepad program, which is included in the standard set of Windows. Naturally, this will require knowledge of the hypertext markup language HTML, but textbooks on this language are easy to find on the Internet. As a rule, such tutorials contain many examples, therefore, after completing the training course to the end, you can easily create simple sites without additional programs.
Step 4
If you do not want to understand the intricacies of HTML, you can use a special editor with a graphical interface. The advantageous difference between this method and the previous one is that at any stage you will see the result in the same form in which the site is displayed in the browser.
Step 5
In addition, you can download a ready-made website template on the Internet and make the necessary changes to it. Of course, such a site will look quite simple, since the number of design options and functional content in templates is limited by the imagination of their creator, but for the first experience, a site using a template is quite suitable.
Step 6
Finally, you can use the so-called "engine" of the site, that is, a ready-made program code that allows you to create a unique site. There are several free engines on the Internet that are designed to create various types of sites and then manage their content. Engines provide tremendous opportunities for fine-tuning the mechanism of work of sites and their design. Naturally, it will take longer to deal with them than with the templates from the previous step, however, the result will look much more serious.
Step 7
After you understand in what way you will create the required electronic documents, you need to attend to finding a unique address and server. To do this, you need to find a hosting and select a domain name. Hosting is a service for providing a part of the disk space and computing power of the server for a specific site - the place where you will upload your files. A domain name is a unique website address that can be used to find it on the web. For the first site, it is better to choose a free hosting and a domain: it is easy to find a service on the Internet that offers such services for free.
