The next thing to do to make your own web site is to prepare the design that you wish to use for your website. The design that you create can use certain software such as macromedia dreamweaver, fireworks, etc… You also may collect the materials you will fit in the website in the form of text, images or voice . All this file will be accessed by internet users. In addition, if you want your website to be dynamic you have to make the script with the program such as PHP, Javascript, or ASP to run your website. Besides the program, the database will be used is also determined according to the program that you use for example MySQL, Microsoft Access, or such other kinds of database. The dynamic page provide more benefits in long term. It needs more time and effort at the first stage, but, this will be paid off with the ease of updating information, simple development, extensive flexibility, and also your website will appear more intelligent.

The easiest method to build up the site is using a CMS (Content Management System). By using a CMS you do not need to build a site from scratch. You simply configure the CMS to fit with your wishes. You choose the data you want to display in your site. CMS will normally run immediately after you copied the file into the specified folder. With CMS you can easily put in or subtract features, with ways to set up and turn on a particular module, or to uninstall or deactivate it. In general, CMS has been equipped with login facilities and registration of members, sending articles, guest books, statistics, administration site, theme, feedback and various other interesting features. Some of the popular CMS using PHP are WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, PHP-Nuke, etc.

Another way to make your own web site is to use web site builders. Web site builders can be people or softwares. People can be freelancers or professinal web designers. Softwares can be softwares which are built-in with your hosting provider or programs that you can use yourself like the ultimate article site power kit.

Today some website hosting companies offer free hosting plans for individuals wanting to have their own website. The great thing about this is besides the free hosting, most of these companies also offer web site builders where you can design and build your website using innovative tools. So basically you can create your website and show it to people within just 30 minutes.

One such company that offers this service is Google. Bought in 2002 by Google, Blogger is a blog publishing system which you can use for almost everything from updating your friends and family about your life, giving your own advice column, discussing your political views, or relating your experience in any topic of interest. The best thing about Blogger, and I say one of the most excellent service I have experienced, is that you can actually customize the layout of your design by actually modifying the hard-coded html of your provided website. That is, you can remove the traditional design templates offered by Blogger.com and replace it with your own code.

Because Blogger is a web-log service, you can actually convert your web-log into a working website without any restrictions. Which means, you can have a professional-looking website with all the text, images and videos arranged according to your will, add to that, it’s ad-free.

So here is how to build a web site.

First things first, you need to have a Google account. If you have one, sign in to Blogger. You will notice that there are only 4 main menus – Edit Posts, Settings, Layout, and Monetize. For now, we will concentrate on the over-all look and interface of your website so let’s start on the Layout page. Here is the technique and where everybody else fails, we don’t like the simple, customary Blogger templates so you might want to have one of your own. There are hundreds of free Blogger templates which can be downloaded for free. Just Google for “free blogger templates” and you can select from the simple to complex designs that will suit your need.

If you have chosen one, remove the code from your Blogger designer under Layout -> Edit Html menu and put the provided code of your chosen template. By now you have completely changed the over-all appearance of your website. You can further apply changes like changing your website’s language, hiding dates, etc. by going to the Settings page. Next thing to do is to arrange the page elements of your website. Go to Layout -> Page Elements and from there you can modify the title, heading, link bar, side bar, and other elements of your website. Doing this is actually pretty easy with the on-board WYSIWYG editor where you can add gadgets like navigation bars, links and pictures to the sides of your website.

You can even upload your own designed image as your heading. Finally, you have to add the main contents of your website. This is done by going to the Post page. You can create and put several pages to your website by creating posts and opting to display only 1 post on each page. This will make each of your posts to be assigned to each of your pages. When finished with your first post, try to publish it and see how it looks. Be a little ingenious and make your web-log not look like a web-log but a full-featured website by playing around with Layout and Settings pages. You will be amazed at how much you can do with Blogger.com’s free blog service.
