Website Design and Development is just one of my hobbies and honestly speaking I'm not good at it. I just know some of the basic HTML coding and using some HTML Editors makes it easy for me to developa working website. I also download several templates and study they how they were coded and try tomodify them the way I like.You too can become a webmaster and you can publish your very own website creation sooner or later.Developing a working website is
easy…
all you have to do is to learn the basics of HTML coding. Afterlearning the basics, you may continue with the advance website coding like CSS, JAVASCRIPT, PHP andother codes and tools to make your website alive. You can use a notepad or any word processor tocreate a webpage but without the basic knowledge on HTML coding you cannot make a single pagewebsite. To make it easy for you to learn the basics, you must have the right HTML Editor/s installed inyour computer. You can download Freeware or Shareware HTML Editors to start with. In my case, I usefreeware like

eady to design and setup your first website but before attemptingto develop your very own website you need to:
Plan Your Website
P
lanning stage is one the most important part in setting up a website. Poor planning will resultto poor outcome and this outcome is your face in the World Wide Web Community. Plan yourwebsite carefully and list down the information you want to present in the internet. At this
stage you are not designing a webpage nor formulating a concept how you’re going to present
yourself or your business in the internet. You will just define the purpose and contents thatserves as your guide in developing a working website later on. Your plan is NOT FINAL

Secure Your Domain Name
Your domain name is your online identity and selecting the right domain name is very important. Yourdomain name must be SHORT, EASY-TO-REMEMBER and sometimes it DESCRIBES YOUR WEBSITE.Domain Names are like product brand names that play an important role in strategically promoting aproduct. Most of the companies use their brands as their domain names because they want to promotetheir products or brands and not their company. The brand or domain name has all the advantages inpromoting products in the internet.You can register your domain name either PAID or FREE registration but if you are serious in setting upyour website especially for business, I recommend you to pay for the registration to own the legal rightsof your online identity.
Once you own the legal rights of your domain name, it’s yours as long as you pay
for the annual registration.
Short and easy to remember domain names from popular Top Level Domains (TLD’s) like .COM and .NET
are very hard to find now a days and they are usually taken by internet marketers and sells it at a higherprice. You can buy domain names from them at few hundreds to millions of dollars depending on thepopularity of the domain names. Most people are
shifting to other TLD’s like .ORG, .INFO, .BIZ
and manyothers to avoid buying at very high prices.
You can register popular Top Level Domain (TLD) names at around $10 per year. Don’t get fooled in
registering your domain name, some registrars are charging more than four times with the same service.Search your domain name and register for as low as $7.75 at
