Make Your Own Web Page







To make your own web page is without a doubt the least expensive route to establishing your presence online, and it isn’t really all that difficult to do. The website-hosting-advisor details three steps to making-your-own-web-page:

  1. Purchase a “What You See Is What You Get” (WYSIWYG) HTML editor such as Adobe GoLive, Macromedia Dreamweaver or Microsoft FrontPage.
  2. Make your own web pages using your editing/word processor program
  3. FTP the files to your web-server.

HTML Editors

Website-hosting-advisor recommends these top HTML editors for beginners:
  • Adobe GoLive
  • Macromedia Dreamweaver
  • Microsoft FrontPage

    • All of these editing programs allow beginners to make your own web pages using templates and WYSIWYG; similar to programs like Microsoft Word or PowerPoint.

    a Web Site That Works

    Simply create or select a pre-made template for making your own web page, type your content into the page on your screen, and hit the save button. All three of these programs come with instructions that are designed to help even the beginner web user to create a relatively professional looking website.

    The only thing you need to take into deliberation is to make sure that if you are using Microsoft FrontPage that you go with a web-hosting company that supports FrontPage extensions. Most do, so you probably won’t have a problem finding one.

    Make-Your-Own-Web-Pages

    Exactly how you make your own web page will depend on the specific editor you use, however the process of all editors is remarkably similar.

    1.Select or create a template for your site. With graphic design skills, choose to create something from scratch. Beginners just use one of the many pre-developed templates that come with editing programs. You can also purchase templates from third party vendors.

    2.Create pages for your site and type the text directly into the pages. The content will appear on the screen similar to the way it will appear in the final website.

    3.Insert any graphics you will use for your site. In general, you should keep these to a minimum because each graphic you put into your page increases the download time. Also, you don’t want too many animated gifs or flashy stuff on the page - they make the page appear unprofessional.

    4.Test the site as you go. All editors contain a preview capability that will let you see the page in a web browser exactly as your visitors will see it. It is also a good idea to test your pages using multiple browsers since there is some variance as to how different browsers interpret HTML code. You should design your site to work effectively with the top three browsers. These are the top three browsers you can use:
    1. Microsoft Explorer
    2. Firefox
    3. Netscape

    The most important thing in making your own web pages is to start. Amend your site a number of times before you ever actually post it online; but recognize that it does take time to make your own web page – especially your first time out. Its part of the learning curve and necessary to making sure you have thoroughly thought out each aspect of your site’s navigation and content.







    FTP Files to Your Website

    If you have not yet selected a web hosting company, you may want to research parts of this site that will guide you through the process of finding a web host that satisfies your needs without costing you a fortune.

    When you purchase a web hosting service, the web host will give you FTP credentials consisting of the FTP site, user name and password for your account. Use this information to put the pages you create online.

    GoLive, Dreamweaver and FrontPage all come with embedded FTP programs, so you can just enter your FTP credentials into their client and follow your program’s instructions to publish your pages.

    There are times, however, when you may want to FTP files to your FTP server without using your development environment’s embedded FTP functionality. Therefore it’s a good idea to go ahead and set up a separate client for uploading things like images, pdf’s, or other linked objects. Go online and download a free FTP program. Several free FTP clients you may choose to use:

  • Leach FTP
  • WSFTP
  • Microsoft Explorer – Type the FTP location into the browser and then enter your credentials into the popup box.

    • Install the program and then enter your FTP information into the connection screen. Once you have successfully connected to your FTP site, posting your web site is as easy as copying the files from your home computer to your website. That’s it – you are on your way to make your own web page.
