Creating your very own website doesn't require a degree, however a little planning goes a long way. Below is some basic steps to get started.
- Decide what your website is going to be about and how you going to deliver it to its viewers. You will need content (unique content), pictures, and maybe even video or audio. Think of creative titles and subjects that you haven't seen on the net yet. Don't forget most importantly what you will call your site (domain name) like "www.yourwebsitename.com."
- Scribble your ideas down on paper, think about what you site might look like. The may have been a layout you have seen already that you liked and just may make a site that is similar or start from scratch completely. You will need something to design your site with.
