Some final thoughts on creating Websites.



Some final thoughts on creating Websites.

How is your site coming along? How did that page turn out? Did you have to do some tweeking? Leave a comment with a link to your new site, and I will be there, like that.

When we last talked, you created a new page, you added some items to that page, and by now you are probably comfortable creating pages. If not keep practicing, eventually you will have a fully operational website. Did you get a chance to explore the other options at the top of the workspace? If you did not, you should click on each option and take them for a test drive. A good idea is to create an under construction page and use it to practice, or if you feel like a pro try editing an existing page. One of the most important links to add to all your pages is a link to your blog. 

As you become more advanced with this software, you will want to add plugins. Plugins are small programs that enhance the user experience and adds more functionality to your site. Some plugins are free, others you will have to pay for. Most come with a great deal of support, plus user forums, so that you are never in the dark. Note: like all software, from time to time, you will receive updates, which you will receive notifications for, please for your security, do not forget to update. Wordpress is an awesome tool, and if you take the time to learn all of it’s functions, you could create an awesome website.

If Wordpress is not your forte, you probably noticed your host provider, also offered other tools to help you to create a dynamic website. There are also other tools, as I have mentioned in a previous post, these tools are called (WYSIWYG) what you see is what you get. You can browse the different types online at (amazon.com/web development softwareor try your favorite computer or software store. If you have a Mac computer, you will want to see if iWeb is installed on your Mac, this is a very useful program. Below, check out these programs, examples only, I have no recommendation, I picked them because other users gave them high ratings.

Site Spinner
The easiest website design program availble, thats what is said about this program, but you will have to see for yourself. This tool is visual, allowing you to complete your website by using the drag and drop method. You may not have to know any HTML. Maybe I will take this program for a test drive, but you can kick the tires at amazon.com (Site Spinner), read the reviews.

Serif WebPlus X5
No HTML required, drag and drop simplicity, an intuitive interface, loaded with powerful tools to help you design professinal websites effortlessly, even if you have never done it before. Wow, building websites has never been so easy. Maybe this is the one for you, check it out at amazon.com (Serif WebPlus X5), see the reviews, so you can make an educated buy.

Most of these programs are easy to use, and the name says it all, what you see is what you get. The best feature with these programs are that, the user does not have to know much if any HTML.

The options that I have presented, will allow you to get started making money on the web, with very little money. Of course there are other ways to get started, but they may cost a great deal of money, remember, I started this blog to help those individuals, who are tired of throwing their hard earned money at dead end leads, infomericials, webatisements pun intended, and the like. So the next time you see that fake news report about making $5000 a week working from home, you know, that there are other options, before you decide to spend your money for nothing.

There are other ways to make money on the web, and we will cover them next.

Here is some shameless promotion, come on you know why. Goto my website http://www.tecavd.com and select the Go Daddy banner. Pretty Please with whipped cream and cherries on top. OK how about the Bluehost button. Do you blame a guy for trying?
