Website development tutorial
Learn how to create your site for
free in 7 easy steps: Plan,
Design,
Code
(HTML), Upload
(FTP), Test,
Upload
(FTP), Promote,
and Maintain.
A quick review of these steps is shown below:
- Plan your
site. Outline the purpose, goal(s), target audience, content
needed and the overall style wanted. Also, pick your hosting
service -- free or commercial.
- Design your
site. Visual appearance is the first thing a visitor sees
upon entering a Website. The use of colors, consistency, content,
graphics, navigation and Web style all work together toward
creating an effective site.
- Code your
site. HyperText Markup Language (HTML) is the 'Code' used to
specify text, multimedia documents (graphics, video, animation,
and sound). Plus, create hyperlinks between documents. You don't
need an expensive HTML editor to create your code, just use the
Windows text editor - Notepad.
- Upload your
files. Upload or File Transfer Protocol (FTP) allows you to
transfer files between two computers, via the Internet. When
using FTP, you use a program, its called a FTP client.
- Test (validate)
your site. Check your Web pages against the formal standard
published by the Worldwide Web Consortium (W3C), check your Web
pages for broken links and identify spelling errors. Various
validation services are available for free.
- Promote your
site. Add Meta data to each Web page; register your site with
the top search engines and directories. Also, don't forget to
promote your site off-line.
- Maintain
your site. Keep your site up to date. If you want people
coming back, you must add new information on a regular basis.
Having a Website means your job is never done!
