For some people producing a WEBSITE is far beyond their
technical ability. But for others with a little bit of help we can get them on
there way. So what can I do for you? I can either make your website for you,
with your help, as I need to know what you have in mind. Hey, make me a website,
is not much help. So before I go any further here are a few of my creations
which you can look up.
As of October 2006 my son has also added to our portfolio. His creations can be
seen at www.stuntmark.co.uk
If you see a BLANK ERROR page it is that CUSTOMER has
forgotten to pay there bill!
So, Tony how much do you charge for these creations? Actually
it's not a lot and varies between £200 to £500 depending on what you want done.
Essentially you write the text, supply pictures if at all possible and I will
put it together.
I can even make you a banner like the ones below should you
want one. They can be made active, so when you run your cursor over them they
will take you to that website if you CLICK ON it. How long does it take for you
to make my website? Usually from just a few days to several weeks, depending on what info I receive
from you.
If you want to make a WEBSITE yourself I can help you here as
well. So how do I do it?
-
Firstly you need to register a name with a web hosting
service like 1 & 1 Internet Ltd.
-
What will you call your website? Lets call it
www.fishingforfun.co.uk
This is known as your DOMAIN NAME.
-
To register the DOMAIN NAME costs a different amount
depending on the append bit. Notice the co.uk bit. Now there are several
different appends depending on what you want and where you live. Basically
this is what they mean
-
.co.uk (Website from the UK)
-
.com (Worldwide)
-
.org or .org.uk (Organisation or Organisation in the UK)
-
Prices for registering you DOMAIN NAME can be found on the
1&1 Internet Ltd Website.
-
Once you have registered your DOMAIN NAME you will need a
web hosting company to HOST your WEBSITE such as 1&1 Internet Ltd.
-
All WEB HOSTING services have different packages depending
on the size of your WEBSITE and what you want it to do. You will also notice
they talk about UNIX or WINDOWS SERVERS. I suggest you order the cheapest UNIX
package which is currently £4.99 per month and will be more than adequate for
most users.
-
Now you manufacture your website. You can use a package
such as DREAMWEAVER or FRONTPAGE which makes life much easier than typing in
all the code by hand.
-
Once your DOMAIN NAME is REGISTERED and becomes live you can
upload your creation to your WEB HOST SERVICE like 1 & 1 Internet Ltd. This is
done by what we call FTP. (FILE TRANSFER PROTOCOL). You need an FTP PROGRAM to
do this and there are many available on the web. To UPLOAD your website
creation you need a few more details from your WEB HOST SERVICE, such as
THE HOST ADDRESS
USER ID
PASSWORD
these allow you to gain access to the server and your website.
-
UPLOAD your WEBSITE and your done.
-
That was EASY!
If you don't want all of that aggravation, just email
electricbluefish@msn.com and we can talk.
