The Blog
These days there are more number of websites than the vast human population itself and this number is increasing faster than ever before. This can be mainly attributed to the fact that these days thousands of options are available for building a website. Earlier building websites needed the users to have the knowledge of html which was very complicated. But these have changed. These days online sites are giving away ready made sites for your use. You just need to choose a web address for your website, choose its contents and there you have it.
In this article, I am going to explain how to make your own website, something which I have dome for myself and for my friends. First of all run a search on major search engines with keywords such as free website builder, build your own website for free, website making, make your own website free, etc. If you want a casual site, just for a simple web presence, you can choose a free site builder. I came upon webs.com and it turned out to a really excellent site indeed. First they get you registered with their website which is a really hassle free process. You just need to enter your name, email address, etc. Then they take you to the main site building page where you get to customize every possible aspect of the website.
Let’s first look at how to edit your homepage. Here you can put the basic elements like an introduction about yourself, your likes and dislikes, etc. This site automatically sets up pages for you under different headings such as blog, pictures, videos, forums, videos, members, etc. Let us look at different options one by one.
After selecting and deciding what contents to put on your home page let us make it more attractive. You can select from a number of widgets to put on your page including Paypal donations, website hits meter, etc. You can select what updates to show on the webpage about your site. For example you can show on the sidebar things such as the newest member to your website, latest photos, videos, etc.
Now lets add some more pages to the site. How about some photos? It’s really simple to add photos. You can either upload photos from your computer or link photos from other sites. You can create custom folders for separating photos. Also you can add music to your photo view page to play as a tune along with the photos slide show.
Videos are the next best thing to be added. Just upload your custom made videos or link them from sites such as Youtube. Here, you can also separate videos based on criteria you choose. Also you can select options such as who can view these videos and who can post comments. The same applies for photos as well. you can make it compulsory for somebody to sign up at your website before they can view these concealed pages of yours.
You can select which members to accept into your website and whom not to. You can manage every aspect of your website as I said earlier.
There you go, I hope you learned something about free website builders and start trying it out today. I’m pretty sure you will be better than me at these things in no time at all.
