To build a website, there are four methods to choose from:
FIRST METHOD:
Hire a professional designer to build the site for you:
It is expensive in the process of creating, maintaining and developing the site.
SECOND METHOD:
Site design with free web hosting:
In this case, just log in to the website that offers this service and start creating your own website.
Free hosting sites:
geocities.yahoo.com
angelfire.lycos.com
Disadvantages of this method (Free Web Hosting):
• Small size: limited web page space
• Interactive features (message boards, online ordering, etc.) cannot be created.
• Ads: You can have banners and/or pop-up ads on your home page
• Long, hard-to-remember web address (instead of yourdomain.com)
• No branded email addresses ([email protected])
• Weak technical support: poor help and support options
• May not be free forever
• No seriousness to the site
Therefore, it is better to choose cheap hosting sites with reasonable prices, you will get better quality and higher credibility.
THIRD METHOD:
Professional web hosting:
Design the site with a web design program (computer software) and use one of the hosting sites.
Web page design programs:
There is a lot of computer software available to help you build and manage your website, you can use one or more of them:
1.Microsoft FrontPage
2. Macromedia Dreamweaver/Fireworks Studio
3.Adobe GoLive/Adobe ImageStyler
4. Flash and hiss
The FrontPage program is the most famous and the most important.
Sites for domain name:
• Yahoo – yahoo.com
• Godaddy – godaddy.com/gdshop/default.asp
Websites for web hosting:
• Yahoo – yahoo.com
• Powweb – powweb.com
Because this method requires learning a new program with knowledge of HTML, it is not our recommended method.
FOURTH METHOD: (recommended method)
Create the site with SiteBuilder and choose the hosting package:
This method is the easiest and fastest way to create a website without any prior knowledge of website creation and no HTML experience.
