Web building tools

To build and operate a website you need

A web editing program
Well, to be honest you don't really need a web editing program; it is possible to hand code the HTML (HyperText Markup Language), but you'll have to be an expert in HTML to hand code, so for all practical purposes a web editing program is a must. (more...)

A domain name
A domain name is almost like a postal address.
Your Internet "address" or domain must be unlike any other, and when you choose and register a domain it will be yours for as long as you continue to pay the yearly renewal fee. (more...)

A web template. The fast track to a great site!
A web template is an "empty" website with all the design elements - including the navigation bar - in place.
What you have to do is simply to insert your own text and your own images, create new pages as needed, and you will have a very attractive site without any design worries at all. (more...)

A graphic editing program
A website without graphics is a bit like a bird without wings.
To liven up your site, to show what you sell, and to inform about your services you will need images. (more...)

Web hosting
Once you feel that your site is ready for the world you need a web host, and just as the Internet is without boundaries so are web hosting. (more...)

Meta tags

There are a number of Meta tags you can - and should - use, and the most important tags are discussed on this page. (more...)

A submission tool
When you are happy with the design and content of your website, have tested all the links, and when you have inserted all the Meta tags you need, then it's time to submit your site to the search engines. (more...)

How much does it cost?
If you think that you have to spend a lot of money to build and host your site you would be mistaken; actually you can get your site up and running for a very modest sum of money. (more...)
