| If you are thinking of building a web-site but don't know
where to start. Then here is an easy way to get started.
What do you need. Well, first you need an Internet connection. Next
you will need a program to build your web pages. If you have a version
of 'Windows Office', you will probably have 'FrontPage' installed. This
is the program I recommend to start with.
Once you have built your site you will need to upload it to the
Internet. You will need to purchase a 'Domain Name' and get a
'Hosting
Account'
Look around for these items as the prices vary quite a
lot. Free Hosting -
Totally Free Web Hosting (Just pay for a domain name if you don't want
their adverts) "100Mb disc space, 100Mb
monthly bandwidth limit, 1 MySQL Database
We aim to activate free hosting accounts within 4
working days once we have verified your details.
Purchasing a domain name with your free hosting package means that you do
NOT have to include a link back to us AND means your account is instantly
activated! Currently £8.99 + VAT for 2 years!"
Note: Check out the above link. I've used them myself for some time
without a problem. For a brilliant 'FrontPage'
tutorial that will have you building your site very quickly
go
here. Here's a snippet from the opening page:
"Sure thing, Pixel! With FrontPage 2000, creating that first Web page was
a breeze. The students simply opened up the software program and started
typing out their ideas on the first page."
It's
designed for kids but I'll let you into a secret... SSShhh don't tell
anyone... It's how I started!!
If you
have any questions about any of the above, then please email me:

Good luck and
when you have your site up and running, send me your address and I'll put
a link on this site for you! |
