Hello

I am a person who decided 3 years ago that I wanted to create or build my own websites.

The company I use to assist me not only has ALL the tools and All the advice and ALL the assistance and can prove ALL that it says and is SO cheap to purchase, just today it surprised me AGAIN.

It appears that they had a little setback with one of the tools they provide. This tool is a major tool for all of us who are building websites.

Did they deny the problem? No.
Did they try to pass the blame onto someone else? No.
Did they try to hide from a lot of angry customers? Again, no.

Here is what they did.
They sent an email out to everyone, yes that's right everyone telling us that there was a problem AND APOLOGIZING PROFUSELY!

In addition they compensated us for the inconvenience by adding credits to the tool that was affected.

They kept in contact with us all through a forum which was very easy to locate and use.

They received many, many words of encouragement from a lot of website builders basically saying - thanks for the extra credits and no problem with the glitch.

Then the company advised after many testings that the problems were all fixed and we were good to go.

NOW IS THIS THE TYPE OF SERVICE YOUR COMPANY PROVIDES?

I'm reasonably confident that a lot of people are paying a lot of money for a product which does NOT do all that this particular company does. Question is why do so many people stay with that type of website building company?

This article will teach you how to make a web site even if you don't know any HTML, CSS or any other web design languages.

The easiest way to get a web site up and running with minimal experience is to use an online site builder. Online site builders are web building software that are hosted on the internet. They can be used by total newbies to build web pages with minimal technical knowledge.

Here are several reasons why you should consider using an online site builder to make a web site.

• WYSIWYG

  Online site builders offer you a WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) editing interface. This means that you need little or no html knowledge to begin using it. Everything is done visually. The site builder will then produce the necessary HTML code that will make up your website.

• Short learning curve

  With online site builders, you can put together a website in very short amount of time. The process of building a website using online site builders is very easy to understand. You just go through a series of steps and supply the site builder with the information it asks for and it will set everything up for you.

• One button click publishing

  One of the biggest problem a newbie has with making a web site is publishing it to the internet. With online site builders, you don't have to worry about messing with FTP software to upload your webpages. Often, all you need to do is click on a "Save" or "Publish" button and your website is live on the internet for all to see.

• Variety of predesigned layouts

  Most online site builders also comes with a variety of designs to choose from. This gives you that professional look instantly. Without you having to learn the fine points of creating great looking sites.

• Minimal requirements

  Since it's web based, all you need to use an online site builder is a web browser and an internet connection. You don't have to worry about downloading programs and installing them. You can access an online site builder from any computer and you will always have access to the latest features.

Now, how do you gain access to an online site builder?

Most good web host provide a basic site builder with their services. Though very basic, you can still make a decent web sites with it.

I would recommend you sign up for specialized site builder. These site builders specializes in building a specific type of website. You have online site builders that build content sites, some that build ecommerce sites and others that build multimedia sites. So, it really depends on what type of site you'd like to build.

Either way, online site builders are a great way for newbies to learn how to make a web site without any technical knowledge.

There are two approaches to DIY Website Construction.

The first is to go about gathering and purchasing all of the components separately. The second is to buy a package that has all of the components and build your website yourself using the tools at your disposal.

When you think about what you will need for a DIY Website Construction, consider the following:

• Domain Name
• Web Hosting
• Templates or HTML program
• Keyword Research
• Content generation
• Autoresponder
• Sitemap submission
• Community or forum for support

If you don't do this on a regular basis, putting all of the pieces together for a DIY website may seem overwhelming.

But you don't need to put all of the separate components together to do your website yourself. You can buy a package that combines the best of everything.

One thing, though. Your best bet is NOT one of the domain name services. These services allow you to get a "brochure site" up quickly. But they don't help you generate a website that sells. And, unless you are putting up a website just for friends and family, there's no use in a website that doesn't sell.

Instead, you should look for a package company whose goal is to make your site sell. They're not there to sell lots of additional components, they want you to succeed.

For one price, you should get your domain name, web hosting, templates, keyword research, an autoresponder, email addresses, sitemap submission, statistics monitoring, and more. You also want to make sure that there is some level of support for the community whether it is phone based technical support or a welcoming forum.

If you're not ready to put all of the components of a DIY website together yourself yet, I recommend Site Build It for a package deal. It includes all of the necessary components and has a very supportive forum community.
