Introduction: How to Create a Website

Hey guys and gals alike, it's krujh2. I felt like making a new instructable and this is what I thought of.

Websites are useful. They help us with businesses, email, and they make up the World Wide Web we normally call the internet. I'm going to tell you how you can make your own website and put it online!

Step 1: Brainstorm

The first thing you need to do to get started with your website is to brainstorm. In otherwords, come up with an idea for your website. Do you want your website to have games? Maybe a chatroom? Forums? You decide.

Step 2: Website Creators

There are many ways to make a website. One of the easiest ways is to use a website creator. These website creators give you a template to choose from so you can pick out the features you want on your site. Most of them are free, but can be upgraded through payments to expand the possibilities of your website. Here are some examples of website creators:

FreeWebs
Intuit
WetPaint

Step 3: Getting Your Site Noticed

Getting people to come to your site isn't easy, mainly because there are billions of websites out there. Adding your site to a search engine, however, lets people find your site more easily. Search engines take all the sites that had been submitted to them and use keywords to find which ones are the most important. Examples of search engines:

Google
Yahoo
Bing

Step 4: Finished!

Now that you have a site, you are now an owner of a piece of the World Wide Web! Woohoooooo!
