How To Make My Own Website: A step by step guide on how to make your own website without a web developer.

How To Make A Website

I have been in this business for quite a few years and the one thing that I have seen more than anything else is the small business owner that goes into complete shock when they find out how much it will cost to get a quality website developed for their business. So what happens next is the small business owner or individual finds someone who is not a web developer to design and develop their business website for dirt cheap. And then they find out the hard way that their website, the first point of contact to their potential customers and clients,  sucks. Yes, it sucks.

Anyone can get your website up and running cheaply. But a cheap website doesn’t help your business, it hurts it. My goal with this website is to help you, someone who is not a web developer, get your website up and running quickly and inexpensively…inexpensive and cheap are two very different things. If you are a small business owner, club, organization or an individual with a passion,  I can help you get a superior website online without breaking the bank and without sacrificing quality.

If you are a small business owner, club or organization you learn to do things that you never thought you would. Not only do you have to know your trade but suddenly you have to also be an accountant, an advertising specialist, a janitor (…it happens) and so many more things… so hey, why not just learn how to be a web developer too?

I Can Do It Myself

There is nothing wrong with a “can do” attitude. If you are a successful entrepreneur then you have to have one. A good web designer/developer has years of experience. They know how to work with graphics, they know to make sure the code is correct, they know how to make sure the user experience is a good one and so much more. Much like the small business entrepreneur knows their business, the web developer that cost too much money knows all this because it is their job, hobby and passion.

What I am trying to say is that becoming a web developer is not as easy as most people think it is. At least not if you want your website to represent the quality that your business promises. However, there is a way to have your website cake and eat it too!

Build Your Own Website

Even though you can’t really become a web developer overnight, it is possible for someone with only basic knowledge of the internet to setup and maintain a website on their own for around $100.00 per year. Here are a few tips on how to get started.
