How to make a website for beginners


Do you want to create your own website? or you want your own personal webpage where you can share your thoughts, ideas, pictures, videos, sell things, blogs or whatever you want and you don't know how to create, design and build website, so you are at right place....

Lets start with some basic knowledge

For every successful website there is a lot of time and effort is needed, but as a beginner it is important that you know HTML (Hypertext Markup Language- The main building block of a website, it consist of different tags enclosed in a angle brackets for example <html>  , <body> ,  <p> etc.)
There are several sites on the web from where you can learn HTML easily. W3schools is one of the easiest way to learn. However different other websites are also present for example developphp.
After that type all your tags on a notepad or any other editor for example:
Following is an example of simple webpage:  

<html>
<head>
<title>my first web page</title>
</head>
<body>
<h2>This is my first ever web page i created</h2>
</body>
</html>

Note: Save it with ".html" file format.
When you open this save file, the file will be open

in internet browser(windows default). Then next step is to
upload this file to your webhost (discussed below).

If you don't want to learn these languages so don't worry many different softwares are available where you can design or build webpages and the script will be generated automatically for example dreamweaver, bluevoda, ewisoft etc.

The next thing is the domain name (it is used in URLs to identify particular website for example google.com, www.msn.com...etc. Every domain name has a suffix like .gov .com .pk ...etc.).

Domain names are not free you have to buy these names, click here to see domain name prices per year... However many companies offer free domain names with there company name at the end for exampe yourwebsite.byethost.com, yourweb.co.nr, web.co.cc ....etc.

Now after selecting/buying your domain name the next thing is web host (web hosting service are the companies that provide internet connectivity,space on their servers of your website to make them accessible to the whole world wide web). again it is not free you must have to pay, you buy packages which depends on your website requirements. Different web hosting companies are present on the web for example godaddy, bluehost, creativeon... etc
Also many companies are offering free web hosting service with some limitation like there is a banner, limited bandwith, limited data storage etc.. Click here to see list of free web host..

After that upload all your files to your web host account and your website is ready....

This is end for beginners level now if you want to go to next level there are many other languages like php, xhtml, xml, javascipt, css etc you have to learn with SEO (search engine optimization) to increase traffic on your website.
You should keep in mind that nothing is possible overnight, in order to make your website successful you must have to spend your time and efforts to make it successful over the web.
