Over the past 10 years, our life has become simply unthinkable without the Internet. You can communicate, exchange information, watch new items. It is not surprising that thousands of new sites appear every day, although they do not always carry useful information. The fact is that their stamping has now become just a fashion trend, and every third inhabitant of our planet has at least one website of its own.
Who can do it
Anyone can learn this. Moreover, in order to create a page under your own name, it is not necessary to learn programming languages. You don't even have to pay for the creation or posting of your brainchild on the Internet. It is enough to type "How to create a website for free" in the search engine line, and the search engine will display dozens of services that are ready to do it for you. Moreover, free services are of two types.
Shareware site
The first type can be called shareware. The meaning of these services is to provide templates for ready-made website designs for free. These templates are even categorized. Although, templates of different categories differ more in design, i.e. by the background picture, which cannot be changed. There are several structure options that you can also choose. Moreover, there is no way to change the structure either. Popular builders offering help are Setup, Joomla, Jimdo and many others.
Before starting the process of creating a site, you must register on the service. After confirming your intention by e-mail, you can start choosing a template and uploading your content. After that, the service assigns a domain name to the new site and provides free hosting for data storage. True, these services have one more limitation: in terms of content and the number of pages. Those. You will not be able to upload all your articles and photos, and the site will consist of five pages. The full functionality is available only for a certain fee, which is why they are called shareware.
Free service
You can create a website for free with full functionality, for example, using the services of the Ucoz service.
Everything also starts with the registration procedure for the selected service and confirmation of your consent through the link that will come to your e-mail. After entering the code suggested by the system, you need to select a number of settings, such as color, font size, etc., and most importantly, choose the domain name yourself, if it is, of course, free. True, a feature of free and shareware sites is the presence of the service name in the domain.
You can save the service settings, or you can take a direct part in creating the look of the future site. The Ucoz service provides the ability to enter your settings, having knowledge of at least the HTML language, which is a big plus. Even a beginner can master this programming language. There are html command references, from where you can safely copy commands, paste them into the editor of the future site and enjoy the individuality of your creation.
Undoubtedly, using the capabilities of free site building saves a lot of time, but it is still more suitable for "home" use, because the site will be filled with spam and contextual advertising links. And it is much easier to catch a virus on these resources than on sites with a proper name.
