So you want a website? Great! But you don’t know any coding, HTML, web designing or CSS, nor can you afford to hire a web designer. So how do you get your website online? The solution is: website creation software and services. Don’t let anyone tell you that you need to know coding to create a website. That was true perhaps in 1995. With the kind of tools you have at your disposal, you need to just point and click and make your website within a few minutes. Website building tools come in a variety of packages. From free software programs that work on the WYSISYG (What You Say is What You Get) system, to expensive software suites that are used by professionals, to web based site creation services, to blogging platforms, the array of options at your disposal are many. In the first category (website creation software), the leader of the pack is undoubtedly Adobe Dreamweaver. This is the tool used by professionals to create stunning sites. However, for someone without any technical knowledge, it can be very difficult to use. Therefore, I advise you to look over this option. If you are curious and want to play around with HTML or a WYSIWYG software, you can easily find a free site creation tool online. The second category consists of services like Weebly, WetPaint, etc. that help you to create a site for free without any technical skills. These sites offer you tools to create simple, good looking sites that can be set up within minutes. You don’t even need to have any sort of domain name or hosting. However, if you want to have your own domain for the site, you will have to pay a monthly fee - an investment that is well worth its price considering the ease of use these services offer. The third option is to use a blogging platform or CMS like WordPress or Joomla. With the use of themes and an extensive array of plugins, you can make blogs/sites build on these platforms do literally anything. Best of all, you don’t need any technical skills to get these sites up and running. If you can use simple software, edit and enter text, and download/upload files, you will find tools like these to be very worthwhile. In today’s internet age, there is no excuse for not having a site. You can make a pretty good looking website in a few minutes using free tools. So take an hour out of your schedule and finally get your site online! John is a blogger. At present, he is writing about grooms cake ideas. Check it out here:
