Create Website
Are you planning to create
website? The very first thing to do would be to
analyze why you need one.
Every business needs online
presence. The concept crept in the early 90s. The
advent of the Y2K bug, however, changed the
scenario. Some companies backtracked, some
remained in the business.
The new millennium saw the death
of e-commerce boom still e-commerce had its
leftovers but in a new form. Now, it has been
imperative whether its individual or businessmen,
every body should have his own website.
How to create a
website?
Online learning is one of the most
informative sources available to anyone wanting to
create website. However, to begin the journey one
should gain some first hand knowledge of the
subject.
What is domain name?
To create website, booking a name
on the virtual world is mandatory. It is not
limited to a name only - it is the online
identity. To buy a domain name one needs to book
it from Internet service providers (ISP) or web
hosts.
According to the type of the
company the suffix is set. For example, a company
can opt for 'www.yourdomain.com'; an organization
can go for 'www.yourdomain.org'; and so on. Your
name can be same as another person in the real
world but in the virtual world no two domains can
be same.
How to book space?
Again, to create website, some
space in the cyber world is required. The space
provided by the web hosts can be used to keep
files, documents and directories. An FTP client
will be needed to transfer the files from the host
machine to the server. To view the site a visitor
has to type in the name of the website (i.e. the
domain name) in the browser (e.g. internet
explorer, opera, mozilla firefox, safari among the
notable).
Can I do it
myself?
The answer to this question
depends on the level of competence of the creator.
Developing web site is a specialized job. Not only
it requires creativity but it also needs expertise
in the creation of pages - both static and
dynamic. You can create website by taking online
help (from various tutorials) and host it
yourself. However, professional look engages touch
ups from the proficient.
What site should suit me - static
or dynamic?
A static website cannot be changed
until the next update. Again, it is better to
change the whole layout than to make necessary
adjustments to the existing one.
A dynamic website uses scripting
in addition to the static layout to permit data
flow to and from the server. For example, an
online property site would allow local property
agents and real estate companies to sign up and
create directory in their database.
Do you need to hire a web
designer?
It is impossible that you know
everything and master the same. Web designing too
is a job of the professional. A web designer
requires knowing web based applications and
programming software; for example, Adobe
Dreamweaver, Macromedia Flash, XML, DHTML, HTML,
Java, ASP.NET, PHP and others.
To create website of animating
content the professional has to master Flash.
However, Flash is not limited to animation only,
it supports scripting (actionscript)
too
Make
website with easy to use
tools and
build website with e-commerce
solutions.
