Website development for Newbee !

[jeffhardy]

Hi,
I run a retailed garment shop and can afford little money for advertisement. I’ve been told that hiring a web designer is a costly affair. Can any one tell me some simple steps to build my website from development to publishing on the web without programming?

If you are unable to develope a web site yourself and can not afford to have one made for you I would suggest a CMS (content management script) There are many out there.

Open source scripts like Joomla would be a great way to start.

There are also paid CMS like subdreamer that are easy to use and have alot of plugins and skins available.

Hope this helps

I perfectly agree with "netspace". At lease you need to know basic HTML and CSS to create a site. If you really dont know that then CMS comes in play.

Joomla is one of the best. they also offer a lot add-ons and other components that provides functionality to make your site professional looking.

good luck!

If you are new at website creation and want to build your own website, I recommend you get a hosting service that has a good website building package and templates. I used RVSiteBuilder that came with WebhostingPad, a low cost hosting service, for my first website. It has step-by-step intructions and tutorials. You create your site using copy and paste procedures; the HTML is automately generated. I had a few problems but was able to resolve them by sending emails to their support. Also, there are some free hosting services but you would need to compare them before picking one. In general, the capabilities provided are less than with a paid service and they come with limitations in disk space, bandwidth, etc.

Nope I would recommend wordpress instead of Joomla, if you do not know any thing about website designing and all than wordpress will be good for you. Yes this one is for blog but still many people are using wordpress for commercial.

You will be able to get huge free templates as well ...

If you don't want to hire a designer but want to have a web site then you better learn about web design and how to maintain a web site. Creating the web site is just a part of the job. you have to learn about maneging domain names. hosting , SEO etc. So join few good webmaster forums and read what they tell.

If you aren't interested in hiring any web designer, I would suggest you to first learn the basics of web designing/ development. There are many free resources over the web (search google) that can help you to learn the basics of web development. Once you gain some knowledge you can use the "free templates" provided by many sites, make small modifications and upload it to your hosting server.

By the way, there is a lot of competition among web designers so if you make a try I am sure someone can provide you a quality service at a cheaper price.

I really suggest you to get xitepro software and you will need nothing to do, just you will have a great website with all SEO deepness within 2 or 3 working days by some clicks.

You can also buy hosting from a webhost which provides a site design tool.
