The first thing you need is a host. A host is the person that will hold your website for you, and put it online so that others can view it.\n\nIf this is your first website, there are some easy, free hosts out there. Geocities (geocities.yahoo.com) offers a free website if you don't mind some ads on it. Others include Freeservers.com or www.thefreesite.com\n\n-------------------\n\nNext, you need some way of making your website. Usually this involves HTML, but if you don't know any then find a WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) editor. That is, an editor that will allow you to edit colors and type and see exactly how the website will look. Geocities includes this on their site, so I'd recommend you start with them.\n\nIf you're interested in really making a good website, I would recommend trying to learn HTML. If you go to Google and type in 'HTML tutorial' you'll find a plethora of good sites out there.\n\nHope this helped you.

There are lots of great tools out there that are helpful, including sites that offer templates and help you get started. I have been impressed with the tools and service of GoDaddy (www.godaddy.com). If you'd like to learn more about the process, consider buying this book, which outlines the process, step-by-step: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0764507206/103-0552344-8898226?v=glance&n=283155\n\nHere's some tips from http://website-design.mcdar.net/\n\nSo you want to build a website here I will explain some simple but also key aspects that are commonly taken in to consideration when a website developer creates a website.\n\n1) Website Design - The website design must be neat meaning that everything looks like where it is meant to be (nothing out of place or out of proportion). Also your sites design is related to the topic of your website e.g. your site is about flowers then your design must have flowers.\n\n2) Site Navigation - Visitors must be able to get where they want to go without going through a maze a good way of putting it if you can get there in 3 clicks it should be fine. Also it helps when search engine spiders go through your site since it makes it easy for the spiders to index the site.\n\n3) Domain Name - Domain name is important since it is one of the first thing that your visitors will see. Your domain should relate to your site topic or business name. Length of the domain usually 6-8 characters is a good length and easy for visitors to type.\n\n4) Scroll Bars - don't make your website pages too long so your visitors have to scroll for hours it is also a good option to just create another page and don't make people scroll side to side.\n5) Returning Visitors - make your visitors return to your site by adding one or all to your site:\n\n- Email Newsletter (Ezine)\n- Community Forums\n- Online Tools\n- Online Games\n- Useful Content\n- Competitions and Prizes\n- and so on\n\n5) Website Logo - Make your logo unique and brandable so that people will remember your logo and then will remember your site and products.\n\nThese are some simple points that you may take into consideration when you build your website if you need some further assistance have a look at your competitors website and see what they have done. Remember what you put in is what you get out of your website and on that note GOOD LUCK and enjoy the whole process of building your very own virtual property.\n\n\nAll that said, if you'd like something simple and quick, here's the company that made my website, and they charged me less than $300. I knew nothing about doing it, but it came out great and they guided me every step of the way: www.wordtechs.com.\n\n\nGood luck with your new venture!\n~Tia~

First, you need to find a place to create your website. Try GeoCites! http://geocities.yahoo.com/ It's a great place to start; it's free and it can even give you some step-by-step tutorials some easy templates and  to work off of to make your webpage look great without too much effort.\n\nOnce you get the hang of the template and the little basics, I recommend learning HTML, which allows you to create and format your webpage and have more control and choices than a template. There are some great tutorials at http://www.w3schools.com. When you get there, try clicking on the tutorials regarding HTML. There, you can learn a bunch of stuff! I also recommend http://www.lissaexplains.com. It's a bit colorful, but it is a good guide for beginners and tells you everything you need to know in a clear, fun way.

1) Determine the objective of your website...whether its going to be a online photo album or a page about you and your family or a page about your passions say a favorite actress ( :) )...\n2) Once you decide what you want to make it on decide what all you are going to put up\n3) Once you are sure about what all you are going to put up (eg what pics,what text ..what scripts will you be using and all)..search for a good free web host which supports these features (Features such as a ftp client which will allow you to upload your pics,supports the kind of scripting you want like flash,javascript,cgi etc..)\n\nsome good ones are geocties.com,lycos.com,\nbravenet.com,pages.google.com( you will need a gmail id for google pages )\n\n4) Lot of these free web hosts provide website builders which have predefined templates to allow you create a decent website easily and quickly..if you are satisfied with that..well and good..but if you want some more customization then I suggest you get a free WYSIWYG HTML editor such as NVU ..(if you have microsoft frontpage already well and good..its quite good)..\n\n5) Using the editor you can easily create a website ..learning a bit of HTML to improve the site appearance wont harm anything..\n6) If you really want to spice up your website then i suggest you can implement some javascript ...you can learn it and do it or download the scripts from the net and put it on your site..here are some sites which have a lot of good scripts with various functionalities\n\n1) http://www.javascriptkit.com/\n2) http://www.a1javascripts.com/\n3)http://www.java-scripts.net/\n\n4) http://www.javafile.com/\n\n\nsome good html tutorials for your reference are \n\nhttp://www.davesite.com/webstation/html/\nhttp://www.cmis.brighton.ac.uk/~mas/mas/courses/html/html.html\nhttp://founderweb.com/html_tutorial/\nhttp://www.w3schools.com/html/html_examples.asp\n\nHappy building

I learned some design principle when i was still study\n\n1) Arrangement\nMost sites are expository, so arrange for easy comprehension\n\n2)Navigation\nNavigation should be always cleary show what kind of infomation is at the link's destination, and show the users where they are in relation to the whole\n\n3) Scrolling\nIt is best to break infomation into small chunks placed on separate pages so the readers can link from one section to another, rather than scroll through a very long page\n\n4) Coherency\nAvoid random color schemes and images that are unrelated to the content of the site.\n\n5) Signature\nAlways provide mail to link, date established, and date updated. Make sure the user knows whos is putting the infomation on the web\n\n6) Professionalism\nAvoid large graphics that load slowly. Make sure the background allows the text to be easy read

The best way to do it if you don't know anything about HTML is to go to geocities.yahoo.com and use their free web building tool (Yahoo Pagebuilder) to design your page.  It's easy enough to learn.

I'm in agreement with Drew here.\n\nIt's not something you just up and decide to do without any previous knowledge of webdesign.\n\nHowever, let me try to be of some help\n\n1) You need to know a great programming language.  I built my dating site in ASP.NET.  You can use PHP or ASP, it's a matter of personal choice.\n\n2) Find a good hosting site that will allow a lot of bandwidth.  I use jodohost.com\n\n3) Think up a great name for the site and register it as the domain name.  It needs to be something catchy and people will remember.\n\n4) It needs to be designed so that people can use a trial version for like 3 days or something.  This way you can encourage new users.\n\n5) Build multiple plans that people can choose from for payment options.  Everyone has their own budget so tailor to multiple budgets.\n\n6) Keep it simple and not too cluttered with crap.  \n\n7) Great features are chatting, profiles, instant messaging, forums, compatability tests, newsletters, featured profiles, the ability to block messages by user, ability to add video, ability to add sound.\n\n8) Advertise locally first.  My site was tailored towards college students so I made sure that the local colleges were plastered with flyers (not neccessarily ethical, but hey...).\n\n9) Offer perks to new users such as unlimited use for 1 month for free, or free features such as chatting if they sign up by a certain time period.\n\n10) Network with other sites that work with dating.  Create a banner rotation system and offer to work with online coupons, flower sites, hotel sites, etc.  SOmething that will drive traffic to you from other sites.\n\n11) Advertise online everywhere.  Myspace, Bolt, Bolt2, Match.com, etc.\n\n12) Make sure it's safe for people under 18 (if you allow them to use the service).  Parents don't want their 16yr old son looking at nudity.  The more people that can use your site, will use it.  \n\nLook at other top dating sites out there (match.com) and see what they do.  take from their ideas.

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

anyone can create a website. Depending on how much time you have to devote to the website, will depend on how ascetically pleasing to the eye the web site is. \nUnless you are using a program such as front page, you will have to have a knowledge of at least HTML, if you don't have this knowledge, there are several good websites available to help you.  One such website is http://www.htmlgoodies.com.   You can start there with the html tutorials and proceed from there. \nAs far as hosting the web site, personal opinion would be to develop the site, before pricing the hosting plan.  Depending on how long it actually takes you to create the site and then what design elements you have chosen to incorporate will make choosing the hosting plan easier. Please let us know how it goes.
