How to Make a Website (Page 1 of 2)

The first thing you need to do is come up with an idea for your website. Try to make it something you are interested in and or something you have at least some knowledge of.

Think of one good keyword or keyword phrase. If you are building a website about inline skates your keyword should be something like inline skates . When choosing your keyword keep your competitors in mind. If you are building a website about computers you may want to think twice before picking the keyword computers . If you have plenty of money for marketing your website then you may be able to be successful with a very competitive keyword but if you are an average person you may want to think of something a little less competitive like computer information . A very valuable resource you should use I use it just about every day for one thing or another is the Keyword Selector Tool at inventory.overture. com. Type in your keyword in the very simple tool this will show you how many searches were on yahoo in the last month on the keyword you typed in and on other keywords similar to it. I would suggest to pick a keyword that is RELEVANT to the theme of your site that has somewhere between 2 000 and 5 000 searches a month. This is because of what I said before competition. If you are started your first website you DO NOT need to waste your time competing with Dell or Microsoft. Once you choose your Keyword or Keyword phrase either write it down or memorize it this will be a very important part of getting your website known.

Now that you have the idea for your website and the keyword you need a domain the actual website address ie. http www. yoursite. com Now you need to think of a domain name. When considering your domain name try to think of one that has each word of your keyword or keyword phrase in it for instance if your keyword is computer information the idea domain would be http www. computerinformation. com. Of course most domains are allready taken so you will have to add something in a suggestion would be http www. computer information now. com . Do not get too stuck on picking the right domain name allthough it is better to have your keyword in your domain it will not badly damage your marketing. You register domains through what is called a Website Host Choosing a bad host can cause problems in the future. I have always used the same host called 1and1 so I honestly couldn t tell you all about every host out there. For this instruction I will use 1and1 for the examples as this is the Host I am familiar with. To find out which domains are available go to their homepage on the right in the middle of the page there is a spot to check domain availability you simply type in the domain you are interested in and it will tell you if it is available or not.

Now that you have chosen your domain name you will need to register it. On the previous step I explained how to find out if a domain is available or not. Go back to the host website type in the domain you have chosen and just follow the simple steps. You will have to choose a hosting package since you are probably brand new to all of this you may want to choose the basic package but if you know you are going to stick with this you will eventually want to purchase the business package.
