To many people, the whole notion of making a website seems very complex. HTML, word processors, programming… it sounds like incomprehensible technobabble to a layman. So what is a layman to do if he/she wants to make an online business?
Don’t fret! I can help you make a website, even if you have no technical background whatsoever! Trust me, if I can do it, so can you.
Website Basics
Websites have been incredibly simplified over the years. You don’t have to know programming anymore to have a website up and running. All you need is one of many services or ‘platforms,’ many of which are free.
The best of these services is undoubtedly WordPress. WordPress is a content management system (CMS) that is used in more than 60 million websites around the world. In other words, it’s a big deal. WordPress is the prime platform of choice for bloggers (which is what you’ll want to start doing):
- It’s very simple to use (no coding)
- Easy on the eyes- it looks great!
- Thousands of plug-ins available- these are add-on features!
- A huge support base
As you can see, if you’re new to websites, WordPress is the way to go. Actually, most veterans use WordPress, despite not being anywhere near ‘new.’
