Quick and Easy Web Page
Want a quick web page? Follow the steps below to have your own page up and running in no time.
Step 1: Idea
What's your page going to be about? What will you offer visitors? Whatever the subject, it's best if it is something you are knowledgeable about and very interested in. Check our ideas page if you need help coming up with something.
Step 2: Name your site
Pick any name you like. It doesn't have to match your content or tell people who you are. Yahoo and Google are very popular, but their name alone doesn't say anything about them. If the name is available, register it right away. It may not be available later. If the name is not available, try variations or choose another name.
You can check for availability of the desired name at GoDaddy.com. They offer very inexpensive domain names. They also have great hosting prices, which means you can take care of Step 3 at the same time.
Step 3: Purchase web hosting
This is the way your pages are viewed on the web. There are many free web hosting companies out there, but speaking from personal experience, it is better to pay for the hosting. Free companies usually bombard your visitors with ads. For my son's website, Alextown, I purchased hosting from GoDaddy.com. Hosting and domain name cost a total of eight dollars and only four dollars a month to keep up.
For Nicholas Academy, I used another web host but switched to godaddy because of problems with my site being down too much.
Step 4: Create your first page
This is much simpler than it would seem. A document with very little information can be uploaded to your space and be reached by anyone that finds it. A basic text editor (I use Notepad exclusively) is all you need to write your page. The tutorials I've listed in the Kid's Web Building section can help you with writing the first page. A tiny bit of HTML knowledge is all you need to get your first page up. The kid's tutorials are great for beginners.
Step 5: Upload your page
Tweak it to your liking. Learn as you go. I've provided links to some really good tutorials and free tools. You can also monetize your site by joining affiliate programs. Visit my affiliate programs page for a list of programs I trust completely.
Good luck to you!
