This can be responsible for making a good first impression and aid your intenet marketing.

If you have your own Internet website, modifying the text on the site and changing your layout (theme) is extremely easy,
getting rid of links and adding new links are under your control. So you continue retaining a unique presence on the world wide web.

These are the essential things you need to get your own site online :

A tool to build your website

You can create an advanced website with a simple text editor, but you need tol understand HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language). There are website building tools specially designed for people without HTML knowledge. They are known as WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) editors. These are very much like your word processing to use, which makes it an easy experience. You create the pages you want, and the editor automatically converts what you do into HTML.  There are many of these on the market,(there are about 487,000 pages on WYSIWYG editors in Google) this is including some which are free. Tthe free editors are not much fun and are usually very limited and usually leave your web page untidy and excess code on your pages. I use Dreamweaver because it is easy to use, the learning curvre can seem steep, and there are other website design software, which are great, but I have not tried them extensively. Just because you are a beginner does not mean you should be unprofessional.

A domain name

Finding a domain name is an easy process. But be warned of your domain name being registered before you register it. You need find a free domain name and register it with a domain name registrar. A lot of Hosting companies will register your domain name when you sign up with them. One hosting company I recommend is www.justhost.com who will give you a free domain name for life.

A web host - somewhere to place your website.

Hosting companies

Web hosts are companies that specialise in storing your website - you pay them to host your website. Every site has to be stored on a server and is where your potential visitors to your site are directed when they look up your website address - or find you in the Search Engine Results (SERP'S). Chose the right web host you can have storage for unlimited domains.  

Hosting Your Site

• Domain names
Much hype and attention is given to Domain Names
Every day new links appear in Google and other search engines - promoting the importance of domain names - some provide advice on chosing the best domain names and say it is quite important to have the correct domain name if you want to be found in search engines' results pages. Perhaps it is important then perhaps not.
• Web hosting
Highly Competitive Web Hosting

• Links management
Be very aware of Links that have nothing to do with your website and products. In order to get the highest possible Return On Investment a website will need to get the most amount of quality internet traffic to it as possible. You can achieve this with highly intelligent linking solutions.

• Advertising campaigns
  It takes time for brand new websites to get well placed in search engines' results pages , but not as much time as some other developers infer. Some offer solutions, such as paying people to visit your site. The best solutions are the tried and true - not getting false results, by paying for visitors.

Internet Marketting Gurus....

Internet Marketing is a subject that is full of fairy tales, lies and deceitful misguidance by gurus and profiteers....
In order to compete in today's online marketplace you have to be able to sort out misinformation & hype from the "TRUTH" or you will fail.

Other things you will need to know... be wary of websites that offer you free trtaffic or paid for traffic.. especially when they have ads from satisfied customers boasting of 4000% increses and more than 240 people a day visit my site wow! thanks bla bla for your great help..

These are the same guys who promise to give you secret popups to stop your visitors leaving befroe you have had "one more crack at them"... well go and ask the internet user what they think of this.. they do not return to your website..

some go on about seo and other clap trap, to convince you that it is some really complex subject... the main problem is they are only after money... how can any web site developer honestly design websites for 10-20 companies all selling the same product... and give that company the best position in google or whatever..

Web Site Design

What good is a website without visitors?

• Website Themes
  Is The Website Theme Important

  To understand Theming and establishing the theme of a website it has become important to understand how the search engine spiders work.

  Search engines are basically , entities that rely on automated software scripts called spiders, crawlers, robots and bots. These bots or crawlers are the seekers of content on the Internet, and get information from within individual web pages on an internet site. These bots or crawlers are key parts in how the search engines work.

  Above everything else the spiders are looking for relevance to a search engine users search query.

  
  Contrary to popular web design practices, keywords, keyword grouping and keyword phrases, are old hat, though they are still important - Google and many other search engines are combining a new technology with their existing algorithms. This is being done in an effort to combat irrelevant content, spam, duplicate content and poor quality websites

• Search Engines & Promotion
  There are many things that can be done so you can get your website promoted, both in search engines and directories and through your conventional advertising methods.

  Note no one can guarantee you top rankings in search engines - even hough many will claim they can. Websites can be designed and built in a way that can increase the chances of the website getting good rankings and getting in those listings. It requires optimisation of the website - If you require an optimisation service for an existing site, I am willing too look at your website - no false promises or guarantees you will get on page one of Google or any other search engines.Google is now using the same technology to determine the relevance of web pages in their index.

  Google as well as many other search engines, are coupling LSI technology with their existing algorithms. This is done in an effort to combat spam, irrelevant content, duplicate content and poor quality websites

• .With that in mind it no longer makes sense to invest in strategies and computer programs that are geared to fool the search engines into ranking your website higher up in the SERPs. Any such methods are a short lived plight.

• Web Design & Customisations Setting Up: It is a lot of work to redesign a site when it's finished. It is really easy from the outset too look at what you want as the end result. Studies show that a web page has only 10 seconds to grab the interest of its first-time visitors. Visitors do not read, they scan pages looking for their keyword (the word in thier minds)... good Web templates and design can help you capture your visitors' attention instantly and can keep them glued to your site with unique content!

• Relevant Content...
  There is an exact science behind this stuff and it works. I works in two ways...
  #1 You get what you need ... traffic
  #2 Google gets what it needs... relevant content
  #2 Google gets what it needs... relevant content
