How to Create Your Own Simple Website The wonderful thing about computers and technology is all the different ways to be employed in the field. There are so many different specialties and ways to make a living. Early on in my career I realized I was not going to be able to perform all the services my clients might need. I consider myself a "General Practitioner", I know a little bit about a lot of different topics and either know how to solve a problem or where to go to get that problem solved. Building fancy websites is one of those areas that I decided I was not going to be able to provide to my clients. I know how to dabble with them, how to create a very simple one (like www.pctutor.com) but anything more complicated I leave to the experts. Many individuals and small businesses would like to have a presence on the Internet and a website serves that purpose. It is a way to get information about yourself or your business out to the Internet community. But not everyone has the budget or the desire to spend a lot on a website and just want to create a simple website themselves. Luckily there are a number of free or low cost solutions for creating your own website. These services provide wizards that walk you through creating your own website. The look might be limited or you might have to put up with ads on your "free" website but these services can help in a pinch. DIY Websites:
And what about Facebook? Many small businesses are also creating a "Page" on Facebook for all those young people who think the Internet is Facebook (well at least that is what the Facebook people would like us to think). How to Make a Facebook Page for Your Small Business will help with that. For those who simply don't have the time to work on their own website and who need a professional one for themselves or their small business, my sister in California creates professional websites for a living. She is not inexpensive but her websites are very well done. You can see examples of her work at www.enaria.com. If you do decide to tackle it yourself just remember to let the wizard do the work and don't fight it. To get the best results with computers and technology I have learned the best thing to do is to figure out what it can do and not worry so much about what it can't do. I think you will find that you will have a better experience and results that way.
