WHAT A GREAT
OPPORTUNITY! There are millions and millions of websites on the
World Wide Web. There are personal websites, business websites,
government websites, and non-profit websites. There are websites of every
size, color, layout and imagination possible.
If you are going to create a
website, you first need to ask yourself what is the purpose for having
one. Once you have determined the purpose for having one, you can
select what methods and tools are needed to create it.
Most ISP's (Internet Service
Providers) allow individuals to have a certain amount of space "Free of
Charge" on their Web Server for personal web pages as part of the ISP
service. The ISP's usually have on-line publishing capabilities that
allow you to create and publish personal web pages.
For more robust websites and
commercial websites there are web design software programs that allow you to
create websites which write the HTML code in the background, so you don't
have to be a "Programmer" as such to create a website.
If you become proficient using Web Design and Development tools, you can
create a fairly good website. NOW building a great website requires a
great deal of work and requires an extremely thorough, diverse and
experienced understanding of Internet Technologies. The World
Wide Web is not that old, only a handful of years in its graphical and
economic form used today.
In designing a website there
are many issues to consider and most people without taking courses in Web
Design don't know where to begin, or don't want to begin, or don't have time
to do it.
Good web design is a skill
and an art at the same time. Using Web design software tools is one thing,
but having artistic talent and an eye for color is another. Not everyone
is good at it, let alone excellent or what some might call "Great"
at it.
