For Those Who’d Like to Make a Web Site and Think They Can’t

Getting into the global marketplace is easier now than ever before. The Internet allows you to tap that marketplace from your living room. But what if you don’t know how to make a Web site?

The world is changing in other ways too. No longer do we expect to get a 9-5 job that lasts many years. In fact, short-term contract jobs without benefits are becoming more and more common. This uncertainty might cause you to consider starting a small business in your spare time. If you get the knack, you may even be able to make enough money to make it your sole income.

There’s a hurdle first: you don’t know how to make a Web site. You may think a Web site costs a lot. So you haven’t done anything.

There are plenty of tools out there on the Internet that will help you. They are template Web sites that do nearly all the work for you. But there is one problem with them: you don’t learn the skills you need to know to manage the site! As a Webmaster you will need to some HTML, the formatting language for Web sites. You’ll need to add affiliate links, shopping carts, and clickable ads — three of the big tools you’ll need for earning money on your site.

Learning HTML–it sounds a lot harder than it is. Actually you only need to know a bit of HTML, not the whole subject. You can look for a tutorial on it, or a book. If you sign up for a class at the local junior college, you’re probably learning more HTML than you need.

You will need special software that makes both the HTML code and the Web site as it looks in a browser. There are three alternatives for you: Macromedia Dreamweaver, the most costly at several hundred dollars; Microsoft Front Page, a simpler piece of software that you can buy for around $100; and Nvu, which costs you nothing. Nvu is open-source software. Open-source software is available for free; those who create and maintain it donate their time, often to provide us with an alternative to Microsoft.

Web hosting is something else you will need that can be costly if you are not careful. Web hosting is renting space on a server. Hosting companies offer fancy solutions for big bucks, and also simple solutions for little money. If you buy both Web hosting and domain registration from the same company, you may get a better deal. Domain registration is reserving your domain name, such as www.mywebsite.com. In fact, you can probably find companies that offer both for as little as $25 per year for a simple Web site. Open a search engine and type in “cheap domain hosting” and see what you find!

One of the products that the Internet has generated in the past couple of years is an e-book. That’s information that you pay for and download immediately. It’s in the form of a document that you can read from your computer or print out on your printer. In our instant-gratification culture, it’s catching on. If you’re budget-conscious, plan to use Nvu, and look in the search engines for an e-book on how to use it!
