Is it possible to create it yourself? How and where to attract visitors
Greetings, dear reader, to the InetSovety.ru blog. In this article I will tell you in detail how to make a website yourself from scratch and practically for free. I'll share with you practical information and experience acquired over the past 5 years.
Having received ready-made step-by-step instructions for creating a website from scratch yourself, you will be able to develop and open a website not only for yourself, but also for a company, or a freelance customer.
Where to start creating
Before you open your website on the Internet, you need to clearly understand why you need it? For what purpose are you creating it? Your further actions to implement the project will depend on this.
Let's look at the needs for which websites are usually created:
- for the purpose of making a profit - commercial websites;
- non-commercial projects for communication and exchange of information among themselves, rare, but they do occur;
- information and educational portals with limited access to content (for a subscription or a monetary fee, access to information is provided on certain period time);
- online stores for selling goods and pages for ordering services;
- thematic information internet portals for collecting target audiences in order to make money from advertising and affiliate programs.
For example, you want to make money by providing your services. In this case, you will need a business card website. A place where you can post your portfolio with examples of work, a description of the services provided, their prices, contact information, and customer reviews.
The next task is directly related to commerce – trading goods via the Internet. A simple website using a website builder will no longer work here. And you will need a multifunctional portal, where it will be possible not only to conveniently place descriptions of the goods sold for the user, but also to accept orders, provide consultations and answer customer questions. Such sites are called online stores.
If the goal of creating your own website is to share your thoughts with readers. Just right a blog will do on the WordPress engine. I will talk about it in more detail later in the article.
If you want to create a platform for people to communicate, a type of website such as a forum is just right.
The question of earning money various types A separate article is devoted to sites -.
First, decide why you need a website and what tasks it should perform, then choose one of the types of projects to implement your idea. Next, the main types of sites will be considered and their characteristics will be given.
Overview of the main types of web resources
Different types of sites have their own special names, due to their focus and the tasks they perform. You, as a future webmaster, should know what features each of them has.
Despite the similarities between Internet projects, we will classify them according to commercial criteria. First, we will consider those that are created directly to receive money from sales, and second, we will consider projects for the provision and exchange of information that receive indirect income from advertising.
Commercial websites
Online store for selling goods
It is not just a multi-page website consisting of pages with product descriptions, but also additional services ( online consultant, order form and online payment goods through plastic cards or electronic money).
The application for the product completed by the buyer is sent for processing to the manager, who processes it. Payment is often made by cash on delivery upon receipt of the order by the client.
Developing a high-quality online store from scratch will cost at least 50,000 rubles.
Its main purpose is to provide potential clients information about a private specialist or small company providing their services.
Such an Internet project contains pages with information about the company, services provided, prices for work, customer reviews and contact information.
Since the site is very small and consists of 4-5 pages, the cost of its creation is from 5,000 rubles. If you have free time and a desire to understand designers or CMS engines, to make a website with ready-made templates you can do it yourself and practically for free. And you won't have to pay anyone.
Corporate project
It's more difficult option business card website. It is created by large companies. The corporate website publishes not only information about services, companies, contact information, additionally there may be a product catalog, news feed, product selection services, calculators, online consultant.
Development of a corporate resource will cost at least 30,000 rubles.
Langing Page
A one-page website for selling one product or advertising one service. In some cases, the landing page advertises a line of products that differ in more sophisticated characteristics.
The cost of ordering from web developers will cost at least 20,000 rubles.
Further we'll talk about projects that primarily provide information to visitors and earn money indirectly through placement different types advertising, through which products and services are advertised to users. Such sites receive money for bringing customers through advertising. Most often, clicks on ads are paid, and much less often certain actions (purchase of a product, registration, subscription to a newsletter).
Information projects
News portal
A site about events in the city, region, narrowly niche (the latest gadgets, cars, etc.) or about all events in the country and the world. Only large websites with a whole staff of journalists can afford to write about everything at once. Beginners should start with narrowly themed projects if the budget is limited and there is little experience.
The main feature of these web resources is the frequent publication of notes. Visitors go to the site while the news is relevant. After a short time, she loses the public's interest. And if you don’t continue to fill the Internet project with new articles, people won’t visit it.
Creation will cost from 40,000 rubles.
Blog
It is believed that a blog is a personal page of one person, on which he shares his thoughts and expresses his attitude to various events and things. In addition to the fact that it is created for the personal expression of the author, it is not possible to receive income from advertising and collect a subscription base for mailing to them advertising offers own or partner products and services.
Despite the fact that there have long been special blogging platforms where you can start your own blog for free on the Internet (the most popular is livejournal.com), it is better to spend about 1,500 rubles a year and purchase beautiful domain and offline hosting.
Now there is a lot of information on the Internet on how to make a website yourself from scratch on the WordPress platform. Check this one out. It describes the entire algorithm for setting up a project with a second-level domain on paid hosting.
Freelance programmers have setup simple blog without a unique design it will cost you 2000-3000 rubles. As for the development of a unique design and functionality, be prepared to pay an additional amount of money for a high-quality design.
Information sites
In recent years, the direction of information sites on which visitors find answers to their practical questions has been actively developing. The creators of such projects analyze the statistics of requested key phrases and write articles with information that meets user requests. And the income comes from advertising.
Unlike news sites, where traffic depends on the frequency of publishing new materials, information materials do not become outdated as quickly. A high-quality article brings visitors for several years in a row. People are constantly looking for answers to the questions “How?” How? What?" on the Internet.
You can open an information site on your own, devoting 3-4 hours a day to learning the necessary skills and applying the experience gained in practice. Or delegate setting up an Internet project, creating semantic core, writing and publishing articles for freelancers. A minimum of 30,000 rubles will be required. to pay for the services of various specialists. But in order to be confident in the result and control the activities of the team, you need to understand how it should be done correctly. I recommend watching courses on creating websites and making money from them.
Internet portals
To understand what we are talking about, go to major sites about real estate, finance or cars. As a rule, such web resources contain a feed latest news in the industry, catalog of companies or products, forum.
Without a serious base of knowledge and experience, as well as financial resources, it is difficult to create, much less manage, such a project. As for the cost, be prepared to shell out a large sum from 200,000 rubles.
We have looked at what are the features of certain types of sites. Now you must think about what tasks you plan to create an Internet project for, and decide on the type. After this, you can move on to the next stage of creating a website from scratch - technical implementation.
Sequence of website creation and launch
Let's consider the stages of developing an Internet project. After determining the tasks for which you will create the type of site you need, you will have to choose how it will be technically implemented. Next, you will learn about website builders and content management systems that help you set up appearance and functionality of the web resource.
Technical implementation using a designer or CMS platform
An online website builder is a service that has all the tools for setting up and managing a website without technical knowledge in programming, HTML and CSS languages. To manage a website created using the constructor, just go to account. The intuitive interface of the designer's control panel contains an editor in which you can change the design of the site, manage sections and functionality, create and customize pages.
All constructors are free of charge. As soon as you want to connect a beautiful second-level domain or functionality, you will be offered to upgrade to a paid plan. Some designers on free packages broadcast their advertisements.
Here comparative characteristics popular designers:
uKit | WIX | uCoz | |
---|---|---|---|
Types of sites | Business card website, one-page website, online store | Blog, forum, business card website, one-page site, online store | Blog, forum, business card website, online store, coproparative website, information project |
Ready-made templates with device adaptability | More than 150 | From 390 | 300+, but not adaptive |

Minimum tariff | from $5 per month | from $4.08 per month | from $2.99/month |
Level 2 domain binding | Available only on paid plan | Free on paid plans | Allowed on a free plan, if you pay for the “Optimal” plan for a year, a domain is a gift |
Link | Go | Go | Go |
CMS platform (engine) is a website management system for working with its content and functionality. Provides unlimited possibilities for implementation various functions using ready-made add-ons or programmers writing modules for special tasks.
There are free and paid CMS. I would like to note that in the case of free CMS engines, there are no hidden restrictions, like with website builders. This is why I like WordPress, on which the Inetsovety.ru blog and many of my other projects were created. I only pay for the domain and hosting. And once I had to spend money on ordering a unique template.
Which engine is suitable for the types of sites discussed above can be clearly understood from the table:
CMS | What can be created |
---|---|
WordPress | Blog, business card, corporate and news sites, information project, portal with simple functionality |
Joomla | Blog, business card website, corporate website with simple functionality, news project, online store with simple functionality |
Drupal | Business card website, blog, corporate and news resource, online store with complex functionality, portals and services, even a social network |
OpenCart | Online store only |
1C-Bitrix - paid | Business card website, blog, news and corporate website, online store with complex functionality, portals and services, promotional website, social network |
UMI.CMS - paid | Business card website, corporate and news website, online store with complex functionality, Web portal |
osCommerce - paid | Online store |
To help you make a choice on how to create a website yourself from scratch, let’s look at the differences between builders and CMS platforms:
- With the help of designers, you can make a website yourself without technical skills or knowledge of programming languages - this is a big plus;
- The first minus follows from the first point - on free plans There is a limitation in functionality. If you need to add a feature to the project that is not in standard library constructor options, even a programmer will not be able to help you, since you cannot make changes to the source code of design sites.
- A significant disadvantage of the designers is that you cannot transfer the site to another hosting. Once an Internet project is created there, it remains there forever. While web resources on the CMS are saved in backups and are transferred between hosters quite easily.
- Attach to site domain name Most designers allow second level only in paid plans.
- Designers have restrictions on connecting SEO modules, which complicates promotion in search engines Oh.
As you can see, you can make a website with your own hands for free using the website builder, but it will be limited in functionality. If we consider purchasing a paid tariff, the costs may be higher than when hosting an Internet project on a free or paid CMS at the hoster.
Domain name
The next stage of creating a website with your own hands is the choice for it unique name online. A domain is the address of a website on the Internet. All domain names have two components. An example site includes the name inetsovety and the zone in which it is registered is written through a dot - .ru. The zone indicates the region or country of location, or the purpose of the site.
Mentioned above were domains of the second and third levels. The number of levels is determined by the number of parts separated by a dot.
website is a second-level domain, and forum.site will be a third-level domain. If a 3rd level domain is created on the basis of a 2nd level domain, they carry special name– subdomains.
If you decide to create your own website on the Internet using one of the website builders, you can register a third-level domain for free. It will be something like this – moydomen.ucoz.com.
Hosting
Internet projects created on the CMS platform are hosted by hosting companies, which provide space for storing site files on their servers.
You can place your website on the Internet for at least 120 rubles per month from a good hoster. As traffic to an Internet project grows, it may require a more powerful server, therefore, the cost of renting hosting will increase.
I host my websites with two good hosters - Beget and Makhost. Primarily due to the fact that they excellent quality hosting for a reasonable price. The sites work without failures, and if problems arise, a responsive support service will help resolve any problems that may arise.
Exterior design
At first, you can select and install a free template. There are many themes on the Internet for different CMSs that are distributed free of charge. If you are creating a serious commercial project, it is better to spend money on a design that will highlight your resource among competitors.
A wonderful theme for sale for WordPress Root, she has flexible settings design and highly SEO-optimized for promotion in search engines.
In this case, you will have to contact a designer to develop a website layout. To understand what elements should be present on the site, analyze your competitors. Highlight successful solutions and indicate in terms of reference your wishes regarding the structure of the future project.
Having received a psd file with drawn in the program Adobe Photoshop elements of the site, contact the programmers. They will do the layout - adapting the design to the previously selected CMS system.
You can find website developers on freelance exchanges; see the list of the most popular ones.
From free templates You can also make candy if you understand a little HTML and CSS. Create a unique logo for your website in Photoshop, install a favicon, and set a personal style for the design of publication materials.
Please note the following free courses, they will help you not only create your website for free, but also decorate it beautifully with your own hands.
Filling with content
Content means text, graphic, video materials posted on the site. It all depends on the goals of the site. The business card website should contain images with examples of work on the portfolio page, a price list with prices for the work. Corporate projects cannot do without posting presentable promotional videos and descriptions of the company’s activities.
One of the stages of content preparation is collecting the semantic core of the site. Those. key queries for which it will be promoted in the popular search engines Yandex and Google. If the source of traffic is contextual advertising, you need to know what keywords your competitors are using to display their ads.
The work of writing texts about the company can be entrusted to copywriters, and professional content managers will help you create publications on the website. All of them can be found freelancing.
How to learn to create websites from scratch
You can create a website yourself for free from scratch not only using a website builder, but also thanks to various training materials. There is a lot of information on this topic on the Internet. All you have to do is look at YouTube; you won’t be able to watch the videos you found in a month. The knowledge gained will help you make a website yourself and for free with the ru domain and place it on hosting. But you won't get the full training.
Although you will learn a lot of technical points about setting up, they are all scattered and are not a step-by-step system of actions from A to Z. You can miss important details. Try to watch videos in a newer way, some materials quickly become outdated.
Eat paid training creating websites from scratch, where all the necessary and relevant information is presented in a structured manner. It is important to be able to distinguish between cheap dummy courses and professional training materials.
Most quick way learn how to make websites - get training from professionals in their field. This is an investment in knowledge that will help you acquire a new profession and earn additional income from self-development websites for yourself or freelance clients.
After reading the article to the end, you received a clear picture of what is needed to create a website from scratch and what stages this process consists of. Now you must decide whether you will do everything yourself and for free or outsource some of the processes (delegate the work to professionals - designers, programmers, semanticists, SEO optimizers).
Creating a website with your own hands is not limited only to defining its tasks, choosing the type of project, the method of its technical implementation and subsequent configuration. Development is followed by an equally important stage - SEO promotion(attracting visitors to the site). But this is the topic of a separate article, stay tuned to the blog. I wish you success in mastering the knowledge and skills of the webmaster profession.

7 steps to create a blog
Any blog starts with these simple steps. Some of them are very easy, some require some time.
- Make a firm decision to start a blog
- Choose a blog niche
- Choose a blogging platform
- Select domain and web hosting
- Set up a blog
- Start blogging
- Start making money from your blog
1. Make a firm decision to start a blog
Thousands of blogs appear on the Internet every day, which begin to be active, but are abandoned over time. In most cases, this is due to the fact that people do not see quick results and they give up.
You have to take a long-term view and understand that this is not a sprint, but a marathon. Make a plan for publishing articles on your blog and always be consistent. Here's my story.
2. Choose a blog niche
Decide for yourself what topic you will blog about. It is better to choose a niche that you understand or that you like. It could be anything from cooking to politics.
A niche is the basis of a blog. To succeed, you must strive to make your blog number 1 in your niche. Accordingly, choose the right topic so that it “ignites” you and you don’t lose interest in it too quickly. Be sure to read the article on choosing a niche and the article on topics that will always be relevant.
3. Choose a blogging platform
There are two answers to the question “Where to create a blog”. The first is to create a blog absolutely free, and the second is to pay 120 rubles per year for a domain and 115 rubles per month for web hosting. As you can see, the second option is not so expensive and everyone can afford it. Now let's look at how they differ from each other.
1 Free
You can create a blog for free on the two most popular platforms.
Starting a blog for free sounds like good idea. But this is only in theory. In fact, you will face problems if you choose the free option.
- While you work hard to create your content (articles, photos, videos), these sites will make money from you by advertising and selling you additional services.
- If you want to change anything in the design or code, you will not be able to do it. This blog does not belong to you, which means you will have no control over it.
- Such free platforms have the task of making money for themselves, not for you. Your blog will post advertising banners. This means that you will not be able to sell advertising space on your blog, which is one of the main sources of income for bloggers.
- On such a blog you will not be able to use the opportunity to install free plugins, which make the blog much more convenient.
- On free platforms Your blog can be deleted at any moment due to the slightest violation or technical failure. You will not be able to influence this in any way, because you will have no control.
- You will never be able to sell such a blog to another person or company. Again, due to the fact that it does not belong to you.
I think these reasons are enough to reject the idea of creating a free blog.
2. Shareware
If you want to have full control over your blog and make money from it, then you need to create a blog using the WordPress engine. The engine is usually called the program on which the whole thing will work.
The engine itself WordPress is free, you can download it from this link. Millions of blogs all over the planet work on it. It is completely translated into Russian. It has an intuitive menu. Convenient text editor. It is possible to install free plugins and designer themes.
Why then “shareware”? All you need is to buy a domain and order hosting. It's actually inexpensive, it's even cheaper than going to the movies.
Hosting services can be ordered for only 115 rubles per month, and a domain can be purchased for 120 rubles per year. If you pay for hosting immediately for a year in advance, then: firstly, you will receive a decent discount for this, and secondly, the domain will be a gift!
Watch the video instructions below, which will show you step by step how to register your domain and hosting.
4. Domain and web hosting
This step is technical and many beginners do not create their own blog on the Internet precisely because of it. Just a few years ago, starting a blog was very difficult. Now it takes no more than 20 minutes. At the same time, you do not necessarily need to know programming languages and other technical nuances.
- Reliability. Your blog is always available 24/7/365
- 24/7 technical support
- Install WordPress blog in 1 click
- Free SSL certificate (from the video you will learn what it is needed for)
- Simple and clear menu in the form of pictures
You will be required simple registration and clicking a few links to make it work. Sounds simple enough, doesn't it! Study this video instruction and you will solve this issue once and for all!
5. Set up a blog
The blog is installed and basically ready to go. But before you start adding articles to it, you need to configure it. First of all, you need to bring to readable view url (permanent links). If you do not do this, then all your posts will look like this: for example, you added an article with the title “My first post”. Without settings it will be like this: blognamillionrubley.ru/?p=123. Looks ugly, right?
If configured correctly, the same entry will look like this: blognamillionrubley.ru/moya-pervaya-zapis.html or blognamillionrubley.ru/my-first-entry.html. It’s already much better and it will be easier for search engines to navigate. Deal with WordPress admin and set up your blog.
6. Start a blog
The most important thing you need to do now is to produce a lot of valuable and useful content. The whole purpose of a blog is to help the user in one way or another. It's up to you to figure out what is valuable content for your blog.
Content needs to be created key queries, this will help you attract a lot of traffic from search engines to your blog. Such content can earn money by selling advertising, or you can collect your readers into a database and use email newsletters, sell them your products or recommend products through an affiliate program.
The main thing is to start creating content, in the process you will discover for yourself what works better and which of your articles or videos get more response from readers.
Write detailed articles, short articles of 500 words work worse and worse. Most bloggers fail because of short content. Forget about small articles and start working on content that solves user problems. Such articles will have more different keyword phrases, which will have a positive effect on search traffic for the blog.
Don’t forget to format your articles with high-quality pictures, bulleted lists, tables, etc.
7. Start making money blogging
From the very first days of blogging, you should place a form to collect readers. Register in email service newsletters, I use this and create a special form. Place it in a widget in the right column or under each article. To make people more willing to leave their email addresses, give them some utility in return. For example, a pdf report or video.
Try to send useful emails to your subscribers at least once a week. If you don't do this, you will simply be forgotten. Over time, you will accumulate a large base that will trust you. You will be able to offer your products and services to such readers. Your base is your most important asset! Remember this and start working on your asset from the very first days. Read the article below and find out best ways making money on a blog.
In conclusion
Try not to get hung up on certain things technical points. They are certainly important, but don't try to do everything perfectly. Over time, you will figure it out and bring your blog to mind technically. This includes design, page loading speed, and adaptation for tablets and mobile phones.
Simple advice. Choose a free design for a blog that has responsive design. That's it, that will be enough.
Focus on Search keywords and on creation useful articles. Start understanding search engine promotion, there is plenty of material on this topic. Several of them are in pdf file below.
So that you always have it at hand!

You may end up with a test version that can be used to conveniently evaluate the effectiveness of your mobile strategy. And if you try, you will make a decent mobile application that will become the main tool for online interaction with owners of smartphones and tablets.
Is it worth making your own mobile application?
Costs. If you don't take my word for it, here are some facts:

- Installed application- your direct channel of communication with the consumer. Just think: you don’t need to spend money on advertising or wait for a person to find you using Yandex. It remains to support needed by the user functionality and provide it with relevant content.

If you want, the application is mobile browser, in which only your site opens. In what case would a user install such an Internet browser? Only if he is interested in your product or information. Therefore, remember: the client who installed the application is a loyal and ready-to-buy representative of the target audience.
In this case, is it worth taking the risk and offering DIY applications to loyal customers rather than custom programs made by professionals for Android and iOS? Let's figure it out.
When can you create an application yourself?
Do you remember what website visitors need? They come because of the content or functionality of the resource. People want to get information, buy something, look at and comment on friends' photos, and so on. Users mobile applications need the same thing.

Do you remember when a business could make a website on its own? It’s right when you don’t yet have money to collaborate with professionals, but you still have the time and desire to figure out WordPress or Joomla. The same situation is with applications. Self-created programs for iOS and Android can be roughly compared to websites built on open source engines.

Now let's move on to the step-by-step instructions...
To make a website yourself, you must follow the following steps of the instructions yourself:
- Step 1 - choosing a theme for the site (what will your site be about?);
- Step 2 - domain for the site (how to come up with a name, check and register);
- Step 3 - order hosting, select a control panel and delegate a domain;
- Step 4 - selecting and installing a CMS for the site (which engine to install, recommendations).
Step 1: Selecting a theme for the site
A lot depends on the theme of the site: this includes its name (domain name) and the installation of a suitable template. In general, you need to approach the choice of the direction of your resource responsibly. After all, if you choose the wrong goal, you can be left without future visitors, which means all the work done is down the drain.
Do you already know what your website will be about? No? Here are a few simple principles things to consider when choosing a theme for your web resource:
- it should be interesting to you;
- you must understand at least a little bit about it and understand something;
- If you can write at least a little in this niche yourself, then that’s very good.
Most popular topics: business and finance, cooking, medicine, beauty and health, construction, entertainment, real estate, accounting, psychology, personal blogs about everything in the world or about something specific.
If the issue has been resolved, then move on to the next step of the instructions.
Step 2: Domain for the site (how to come up with a name, check for availability and register?)
Have you already decided what name your future project will bear? Do this before you start creating your website.
Coming up with a name for your website, especially for beginners, can be difficult. Here are some tips and tricks on how to do this:
- The domain name should be simple, memorable and, if possible, short - up to 7-10 characters and correspond to the theme of the web resource (but not necessarily), for example, for an automotive website - "auto.ru" (4 characters excluding zones.ru), "mir-auto.ru" (8 characters), "autoshop24.ru" (10 characters) and so on;
- For blogs, many people like to use their last name in transliteration - “pupkin.ru”;
- It is allowed to use hyphens and numbers, as in the examples above, or you can even use “auto-shop-24.ru”, but this will not add beauty. It is advisable to use this technique when the domain is already occupied;
- Define target audience site, that is, the national domain zone, for example, for Russia - mojsait.ru, for Kazakhstan - mojsait.kz, for Ukraine - mojsait.ua, or use the domain general purpose— mojsait.com, I think you understand the meaning;
- It is advisable to refrain from using Cyrillic characters in the name of the name, such as “mysupersite.rf”;
- Use English words, not transliterated Russian. For example, which name looks better, “autoshop.ru” or “avtomagazin.ru”?;
All that remains is to check if the domain is taken and register it.
2.2. Checking a domain name for availability and registering it
Check your domain name for availability on this page Register and if it is free, register it. Or click on the button below.
What to do if the domain is busy? It is possible that this could happen - I came up with it beautiful name, but it’s already taken and you’re scratching your head again. In this case, “play around” a little - additionally use suitable prefixes (good-, fast-, pro- and others), hyphens and numbers.
If you still find it difficult to come up with a name for the site, then generate it here: Namegenerator.
Bottom line: what was done to create the site?
Let's summarize. So, what steps did we take to create our website ourselves?

What to do next with the site?
I hope that step by step instructions became useful to you and you were able to achieve it yourself positive results: create a personal website from scratch. True, this did not reduce the work, but on the contrary, it became even more. There's still a lot to do, so you won't get bored!
So, you decided to create your own website, you came up with a theme and what will be on it, but you don’t know how to do it. It's actually not difficult now. Creating a website yourself is much more profitable than ordering it from a Web studio; the price can range from thousands to several tens of thousands of rubles (everything will depend on the design and content).
Here are the main ways to create a website:
- choice of topic and structure
- coming up with a domain name
— choice of hosting
- selection of website engine
— filling it with articles
The first step is to decide on the theme of the site, what sections and items it will consist of. You don’t need to make a website about everything, you should cover one topic that you understand and that will be of interest to the reader. When we figured this out, we come up with an original domain name for the site. Domain– the name of your website, no two are alike on the Internet, all domains are unique. Then we move on to selecting hosting - a “home” for your domain, so to speak. Hosting– this is when the provider provides rental disk space to host your site. They are paid and free. By the way, when choosing hosting, you can also select a domain there. After the domain is hosted, we move on to the main work on the site: choosing an engine and filling it with content (text, articles and images). If everything stated above is more or less clear, then it is not clear what a website engine is?!
First, let's figure out what a website page consists of and how it is structured. And it consists of html code(from the English “Hyper Text Markup Language” - language hypertext markup) and structures CSS(Cascading Style Sheets - cascading style sheets). On any site click right click mouse and click “ Source code” or “View HTML code”.
This kind of “abracatabra” should open up.
In fact, this is how the site consists from the inside. This is the internal filling (html code) and the skeleton (CSS) of the site. In order not to manually create a website in html, there are engines, because a novice web master will need more than one month to thoroughly understand the html code and CSS tables. Using engines allows you to reduce time and increase productivity when developing a website. But at least superficial knowledge of html code is needed, for example, to intervene in a design that you don’t really like. Here are the most popular engines: WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, DataLifeEngine, PHP Nuke etc. My website is powered by WordPress.
So, let's summarize. To begin with, select interesting topic, we think about what the structure of the site will be, choose a domain name and place it on hosting, then install the engine and start working.
These are the main points for creating a website.
Let's look at how I created my website. I won’t dwell on the choice of topic, everything is clear here. With the name, I had to think about how it would be original and memorable. on his story. Check new domain Before registering, it is necessary if you want to create a completely clean website. Some abandoned sites have a bad reputation with search engines, perhaps due to their subject matter and therefore it is better that your new domain name does not coincide with the names of such sites. Then I chose . Hosting and domain cost me three hundred rubles. The domain is provided for a year, but I pay about one hundred and fifty rubles for hosting every month. Although you can buy everything for a year. and selected the necessary template for our engine. A template is the appearance of a site. On WordPress there is also standard templates, but I didn't like them. After that, having understood WordPress a little, I began filling the site with content.
Well that's all! It's actually not difficult, the most important thing is to start. If, for example, something is unclear, I go to a search engine, type in what interests me and take the information in a video or text version.
The most important thing to understand is that all problems are solved as they arise.
