How to Build a Website

What you will need:
- Domain Name
- Hosting Provider
- Web Pages
- Page Editor

Where to get necessary items:
(You can get from other sources, but these are easy)

- Domain Name & Hosting Provider
- - - Best Damn Web Hosts (reviews of the best hosting providers)
- - - - - **All Web Hosts on BDWH Give a Free Domain Name for Life**

- Web Pages
- - - Free CSS Templates (free website templates)

- Page Editor
- - - Page Breeze (free drag & drop HTML editor)

How to build your site:
- Find a template that suits the site that you want to build.
- Download the template and extract to a location that you will remember. (I use my desktop)
- Open your page editing software and then open your template (index.html).
- Start editing your page from the top to the bottom. (remember to save after changes)
- - - Edit the titles & sub titles first.
- - - Delete any sections that are not needed
- - - Change the link names to be relevant to your site
- SAVE
** Keep in mind that index.html will be your template for the other pages on your site**
- Now save your other pages, for example: If you're going to have 3 pages (home, about us, contact). Go: File > Save As and save a file named "About.html" and one called "Contact.html" your index page will serve as home.
- Link the pages together. On all 3 pages insert your links. Highlight your home link and link it to "index.html" then highlight your about us link and link it to "About.html" and finally highlight your contact link and link it to "Contact.html" (Do on ALL 3 Pages).
- You now have a 3 page website. If you want more pages just repeat the process.
- Go back to your pages and edit the content on all 3 to meet your desire.
- After you're done editing your pages (make sure you save your work), log in to your hosting provider and upload to your website. You will need to upload: All your web pages, the style sheet, and your images folder.
- Go to your website and see the results.

There is obviously a lot more that can go into building websites, but this will get you started.
