Well!! it certainly depends on the reason for which you want to make a website.\n\nMany companies advertise their products through their website.\nMany companies even sell their products and services through websites.\nYou can add forums, RSS Feeds and many more contents to your site.\nFurthermore, if you have a site of yourself containing your CV, its a plus point to mention the URL in your CV

Advantages - fast creation, easily modified and saves money\n\nDisadvantages - data can be lost or corrupted, needs backing up all the time.

I have my website on godaddy. If you buy a domain name (web address) from them for just $8 or so, they'll include free hosting (with ads), or you can pay for extra hosting without ads. It also comes with a site builder so it'll be easy to create your website.\n\nHowever, I'd definitely recommend studying html and css so you can customize your page to just the way you want it. It may take some time, but it's worth the effort. Check out W3Schools for tutorials.

No matter what website you use to build your own, you most likely have to be familiar with HTML. I use FreeWebs because it's really easy to get used to. But then again, I took a class about HTML so it's easier for me. You might get confused with some things if you don't understand HTML. I think geocities lets your create your own website by choosing what kind of features you want, but unless you pay for your account, you only get to use certain things.

The reason is the way the site is coded.  The only text on your page is: \n\nOverview of Business\nFrank Eckblom\ntakes you to find free Treasures\nof the Mother Lode\n\nSearch engines have nothing to find.  \n\nThat is one of the reasons that good web development is so important.  \n\nIf you want your webpage to be your homepage, select "tools > Internet Options" and list it as your default home page.

There's several places you can get a free website including from Yahoo (their service is called Geocities).\n\nIf you're serious about creating a website and want one that looks professional then I wouldn't consider a free site, there are many paid for sites that need only cost you a few dollars a month.\n\nHere's some of the things to consider about free sites...\n\n-- 1 --\nYou're often restricted in the type of files you can have, some sites don't allow MP3's or video files for example.\n\n-- 2 --\nThere's usually a bandwidth limit (this is the amount of data that's downloaded).  It normally doesn't take long to reach the bandwidth limit and when this happens the site becomes unavailable - you've probably come across such sites yourself.  The bandwidth limit is often hourly and also monthly.  If you hit your hourly limit your site will be down for about an hour but if you hit your monthly limit if could be down for days or even weeks.\n\n-- 3 --\nMost free sites have a limit to the amount of space you have to store your site.  Large files such as music and video will very quickly fill the space.  Simple text pages don't use much space but when you start adding a few graphics this can soon add up.\n\n-- 4 --\nThere's rarely any technical support with free sites other than user forums.  If something goes wrong it's up to you to sort it out.\n\n-- 5 --\nSome copmpanies that provide free sites are 'here today and gone tomorrow' - just what you need if you've spent ages designing a nice site.  Others are initially free but then state you have to pay or your site will be deleted.  To avoid this stick with the well known and established names such as Tripod/Lycos and Yahoo/Geocities.\n\n-- 6 --\nFree sites are often limited in what you can do, a lot won't support PSP or MySql, some don't even support Java.  Could mean that features such as forums, blogs, guestbooks etc aren't possible on your site.\n\n-- 7 --\nA free site has to pay for itself somehow, no company is going to give away webspace without getting something in return.  One common practice is to place adverts on your site.  Sometimes these ads are themed and related to your site but other times they're completely unrelated.\n\n-- 8 --\nOften the site isn't transferable except to a paid for service provided by the same company.  This can be a serious problem if your site becomes popular and you need to move it somewhere that can accomodate your growing needs.\n\n-- 9 --\nOften any extras are hugely expensive, if for example you want to buy more data transfer (bandwidth) you could easily be paying $1 per GB.  It might not sound a lot but if you're also paying for more web storage space and access to certain tools it will work out far more expensive than having a paid-for site.\n\n-- 10 --\nYou won't get your own domain name so instead of having xyzcompany.com you'll have something like freewebhostingcompany/xyzcompany.com.\n\n-- FREE SITES --\nIf you still want a free website then this page here... http://www.free-webhosts.com/search-webhosts.php is an excellent resource as it compares no less than 545 different free webhosts complete with reviews and user comments for each one.\n\nHere's some links to the 4 most popular free webhosts...\n\nLycos Tripod (CNet rating 9 out of 10)\nhttp://www.tripod.lycos.com/ \n\nLycos Angelfire (CNet rating 6 out of 10)\nhttp://angelfire.lycos.com/\n\nYahoo Geocities (CNet rating 8 out of 10)\nhttp://geocities.yahoo.com/home/ \n\nExpress Page (CNet rating 4 out of 10)\nhttp://www.expage.com/\n\n-- PERSONAL RECOMENDATION --\nIf you want a decent site with a wide range of tools and virtually no restirictions then go for a paid one.  They're not expensive and you'll have infinitely more flexibility to design and expand your site.\n\n1 and 1 is the world's number one webhosting company where you can get a site for as little as

Data, my dear friend. Everybody likes to collect data.\n\nImagine your site becomes big. Seriously big. Myspace kind of big. Suddenly you know you have a million users, but you don't know how many are American and how many are European, Asian, and so on. Wouldn't this be useful to know? You could shape your bandwidth based on time zones, advertise in different languages, and so on.\n\nData can be used to pull all sorts of information about your clients, and the hosting services hope that they will one day be big enough to use it all!

I think as time goes by, more people will want to design or create websites.\n\nI think a great reference website on how to make a website, step by step directions, would be great. \n\nJAVA, PHP, ASP, JSP.....all programming languages covered under one website would be awesome.\n\n\nEDIT: If its free, then how much better could that be! =)

not bad..the site has some potential. The page ends, but there is allot of empty space at the bottom that needs to be gone, and added with time.\n\ntry to add some more site info and have them on a link-page available on the left hand side of your first page (home page)\n\nthe graphics that load up in the top of the page need to re-considered. see the first part of the page (where that large picture is ) is taking  up the "prime real-estate" of your website. \n\nthat space needs to be carefully thought of when applying anything to it. if you put in advertisements, then that cheapens the site. but a large picture like that is very slow on a dial-up connection.

Making a website is tricky because you need to find profitable keywords. You may have a great idea but without strong keywords nobody will go to your site. A great program for developing a profitable site with strong keywords is Site Build It. It essentially tells you the supply and demand for every singe word or phrase typed into any search engine. \n\nIf you're looking to build a website try SBI.

if you are a beginner, there is no way you will have a website up and running with those languages and mysql.\nyou will likely leave huge holes open as well.\n\nhowever, some sites already exist such as http://wordpress.org and http://xoops.org that you can design a custom theme for.\n\nthere aren't really any disadvantages from asp versus php, aside from asp costing money

The advantage that Dreamweaver and Notepad share over Front page is far, far less bloated files.\n\nThere's not much of an advantage over Dreamweaver, presuming you're not paying for it, because dreamweaver's got it's own text editor, complete with syntax highlighting and manuals.\n\nThe advantage to hand-writing HTML (or any other code for that matter) is that, once you've got the hang of it, it's infinitely more powerful than using a WYSIWYG editor, since you can do everything the code will allow, not just what the particular editor does. Also, it's easier to fix code when you know what it does.\n\nEDIT: (real men use Vim)

Websites should be constructed with the objective that it will be optimized and ranked higher by search engines.When ur constructing the website, remember that it must cotain contents with relevant words,that when ur target audience or propects would put the related key words in a search engine, they should find ur website easily.Again ur website should give all the information about ur company with details about the products or services that it offers.U can construct ur website in such a way that ur customers can put online order or give feed backs about the product they have purchased from your company.

Creating a website takes a few steps:\n\n1) You're going to have to find a place that will host your website. (I suggest www.godaddy.com because it's what I use.)\n\n2) You're going to have to find a unique name that no one has. (e.g. www.superwebsitenamethatscool.com)\n\n3) You're going to have to purchase this name and pay for it on a yearly basis. (I pay about $12 a year for mine)\n\n4) You're going to have to purchase an FTP Server that will hold all your images and webpages. (Godaddy will sell you one for about $4 a month)\n\n5) You're going to have to build your own website using HTML code or something like Frontpage or Dreamweaver.\n\n6) Once you build your site you upload it to your FTP Server and tell godaddy where it is and you're done!\n\nIt's really really simple. Hope that helps!\n\n~Mark Lim\n\nhttp://www.poisonappleshirts.com

Well, some websites cost money. But you could make a free one, it just won't be as good. (See sources for link.) I made one, but you can only have 7 pages if you have a free one, unless you're willing to pay the money.

Check out my sources below. They highlight and break down into great detail the benefits of using AJAX.\n\n"AJAX has two huge benefits:\n\nSpeed and invisibility (ala smart client) makes for a very slick user experience. \nThe smaller server resources footprint helps server scalability (seriously!)."
