There are few basic steps that need to be followed in creating a free website for you. The one's mentioned below is few of them...
Planning - before you proceed to create your own website, it is necessary to plan few things out. Once this is done, you are on your way to create a site for your purpose. First up, create an outline or a goal as to what is the content required. To whom should it cater? What is the style required? Once you ask these questions to yourself, try getting answers to them as well. If possible, get in touch with professionals in this business. Take few cues from them and ask for suggestions. Jolt down all the required points and keep them in mind to put them into practice later. Once these basics are done, select an appropriate hosting service. It could be either free or commercial.
Designing - What is the first thing that catches the eye of a site visitor? It is not the content or the commercials that are in place, but the overall visual appearance. The website must not be too flashy but should look good nonetheless. Keep the things simple and clear for the visitor to browse through. Please note that, consistency, content, navigation, colors and web style all play their part in creating an effective site.
Coding is the next vital step in constructing your website. We can go for HTML codes for this purpose. HTML is an abbreviation for Hypertext Markup Language.HTML is the 'code' used in specifying the text and multimedia documents like animation, sound, video and graphics. Do not forget to create hyperlinks between the docs. The most beautiful part of all these aspects is that you don't need any expensive HTML editor to serve your purpose. Use Windows text editor - Notepad. That will do.
For uploading your files, you can always use a program called FTP client. FTP (File Transfer Protocol) allows you to transfer files between any two computers, through Internet.
Testing - In this step, check your site for any broken links and spelling errors. There are a number of validation services that can be employed for free. If possible, make use of these services. Once this is done, check your web pages against formal standard published by W3C.
Promoting - Do not forget to promote your site. Get it registered with the top directories and search engines. If possible, try promoting it off-line.
Maintaining the website is vital to keep it going. Ensure it is updated with fresh information regularly.
