What Do I Need To Design A Website?
Posted on October 21, 2009
When you want to design a website, you need some type of program or software that will help you create HTML pages that you can upload to the internet. That doesn’t mean you have to know how to program in HTML.
In fact, beginners can take advantage of WYSIWYG software that makes it very easy to design a website. WYSIWYG stands for “what you see is what you get.” This means you can see how your finished page will look as you create it so you can make changes as you go.
Most web design software on the market today works on the WYSIWYG principal because it makes creating web pages so easy. Most programs also offer the option of switching to hand coding HTML for when you become more advanced.
You can choose web building software like Microsoft Front Page, Site Build It, Dreamweaver, XSitePro or any of the many others available to you. You can even design a website online using a service like Weebly where you just drag and drop text and pictures to make your site.
KompoZer is free software that is easy to use and suitable for beginners who want to design a website. This software has everything you need including a built-in FTP program that will publish your site to the web.
After you design a website, you need to upload it to the internet so people can view it. You can buy your own domain name or upload it to a free host. If you design your site on Weebly, you can simply press a button and your site will be put online. Otherwise, you will need an FTP program to transfer your finished files to your webhost.
