Building a website is really is simple today, especially since the advent of the WYSIWYG HTML editors. Most people tend to think they have to know how to use HTML and believe it’s too “technical”. I know I sure did. Like me, you may think it`s too much of a hassle to actually learn a whole computer “language”. HTML, the most basic computer language in building websites, is actually pretty simple to understand, as long as we have the interest in learning new things. However, if you prefer not to learn it, getting a free HTML Editor takes care of that problem.
HTML is the acronym for Hyper Text Markup Language. Think of it as a language that the computer understands. HTML is coding specifically used to create a website. The web browser, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox, will then decipher and interpret the code (HTML), and display it in a way we can understand it, just like in a basic Web page.
Coding the HTML language is tough for some of us, so we can actually purchase programs, such as Macromedia Dreamweaver, Coffee Cup or even Microsoft FrontPage. Even better, we can download free HTML Editors that do a good job of helping us to build our web pages. Kompozer and Front Page Express are my favorites, because they are simple to use and understand. These programs are created to help us technically challenged people with designing professional websites.
Actually, we could also gain access to online web-builders, which are inbuilt and can be directly controlled from the net. There are many different and specific builders online.
You can find many books and magazines containing guides and tutorials that teach us ways to put up our own websites. There are credible online tutorials, information technology at its best. It is a cost efficient way in retaining knowledge, especially in this particular field.
It really is simple to get your website up and running quickly! Listen, if a 55 year old preacher and author can do it, anyone can! You do not have to be a “techie”. I’m certainly not. HTML Editors, a little free training, and a bit of practice and you can do it too!
