Creating a website and you already registered a domain name?

Trying to build a website around a name is very difficult to do, especially if you have not done a very important step for the process. Your first step in building your website needs to be the planning process. Many beginners do not realize this and when their website fails, they may believe they failed. But in reality they did not fail as long as they understand the missing steps and try again to rebuild their website.

Sure, many say it is very easy to create a website with only using three steps but not one of those steps is planning.

Planning your website

This is a very critical step when you create a website. You need to figure out the Who, What, Where, When, Why and How. It may sound difficult to do, but if you take the time at the beginning of your building process, you will find out that in the long run it will save your time (and money).

Who will be your audience? Have you chosen a targeted niche?

What is the content going to be about on your pages? What will be your keywords?

Where are you going to host the site? Will you use free web hosting or paid?

When do you plan on this website being finished? 5 days, 30 days. Be realistic and set a target date.

Why do you want to build your own website?

How is all the steps above to help guide you with your website creation.

The steps above may take you a few minutes or could take you a day or longer. But each one is important when you create a web site.

Even if you already registered your domain name and built your site and your site is not working how you want it to, take a moment and do the 5 W's and 1 H. It might show you what you are missing.

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.

  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 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.

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.

Anyone can have a website, but is that website going to be seen by anyone?

There is so much more that needs to take place when building a website. Most people have no idea. Websites need to have good content, proper keywords, good hosting etc...

Do you really want to know how to create a website that is steps above most and one that will make you money? If you answered "yes" then you need to follow the rules of CTPM in order. CTPM stands for:

Content

Traffic

Presell

Monetize

Good Content will get you alot of traffic. Preselling is when you build a relationship with visitors, not treating them like another digit to your bank account. People visit this site looking for ideas to improve their lives, so that's what must be focused upon. The last step is monetization. This should be the least of your concerns.

Pick a niche that you know something about or at least a little bit about. This will make building content alot easier. Don't worry about doing anything else except writing good content. I know you are saying "I can't write", but don't let that get you down. Do some research on the topic you chose and pick out some key topics and write about that. It doesn't have to be award winning, just keep writing.

Once you have Content the the rest is very easy.

If you want the rest to be very simple in a step by step format you should check out SBI (Site Build It). Domain name, hosting, analyzers, keyword research etc are all included at one place. They'll even help you find a niche.
