How to Make a website




Have an innovative concept for a great new website. 
If you already know what the website will be about, skip this step. Do not to copy others' ideas. Create a website with an interesting topic in a field you know a lot about.



What would be your goal? Identify your market. 
What kinds of people would the website serve? Conduct market research to figure out more about your audience. What do they do? How old are they? What are their other interests? All of this information can help make a website much more.


Register your domain. If you’re on a budget, remember that there are strategies for buying a cheap domain name. Find a domain name that is easy to remember and spell. If you use domains ending with .com, you will end up with more traffic, but remember to get creative

Design your website. 

Here you have a few different options.

  • Get a website-building program and do it yourself. While this might work for your dried bug page, if you are unsure of your design eye and ability, then it's probably not the best choice if you're trying to make a sharp, professional impression (especially if you're trying to get people to part with their money).

  • Learn a programming language (or two, or three) and build a website from scratch.

  • HTML is incredibly easy to learn, and if you are up to it, you will be able to tweak your web design any way you want, and you would not have to pay anybody else to update or change your site.

  • XHTML is the new web language set by W3C's standards. Almost identical to HTML, it follows a stricter set of rules for marking up information - what this means, for the most part, is minor changes to the way you write code.
  • CSS, which stands for "Cascading Style Sheets", gives more flexibility for styling the HTML.
  • A browser sided scripting language, such as JavaScript, allows you to make your page interactive.
  • A server sided scripting language (PHP, ASP with JavaScript or VB Script or Python) can be used to change the way web pages appear to different people and edit or create forums. They can also help store information about people who visit your site, like their username, settings, and even temporary "shopping carts" for commercial sites.
  • Wordpress is another great option for building website. Wordpress is a free application that can be installed on your web server and make updating and organizing content very easy.
  • AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) is a technique of using a browser sided language and a server sided language to make the page get new information from the server without refreshing the page, often greatly reducing user wait time and vastly improving the user's experience but increasing bandwidth usage. Think of the possibilities: you could probably make a web based instant messaging service!
  • Hire a professional. This is the best option for more advanced sites, especially e-commerce sites.
  • Use a free static site generator to create your site structure, navigation, and CSS stylesheet for you, then download your files and put them on your own server. 


Choose a web-host and upload your website. Your web host may have an FTP feature, or you can download your own FTP program like FileZilla. If you hired a professional to design the website, he or she may take care of this for you. You should also note that there are ways to host your own website for free.
