How To Find the Website Building Tools
This area seems to be frustrating to so many folks. Just how and where do you find the proper tools to build your website? There are soo many different answers to this question and I have found that it isn’t always on what are the proper tools, as much as what YOU feel the most comfortable with.
There are a lot of web designers out there that swear by Frontpage and/or Dreamweaver, and then there are others that build their websites completely in Notepad or with a simple HTML editor, so what is the best way to build your website?
This completely does depend on you and what level you are at.
I personally use a HTML editor called Kompozer I have used many others throughout the years, but I have found that I personally, perfer to see what I am doing while I am doing it and I don’t have this big budget to purchase things like Frontpage and/or Dreamweaver and have found that a simple no cost HTML editor such as Kompozer does the job just fine.
With any new type of software there is always a learning curve to go through, but I have found not only for myself but for some I have taught, that the simple HTML editors that you can download free, work just as good as anything else out there.
Now keep in mind, I’m discussing building a website, Not designing graphics or that stuff.
With these editors you do not have to know much at all about HTML or how things work, but it is highly recommended you at least know some basic HTML, which will not take you years or months to learn.
So for the tools that you need to have in place to build a website -
1. An HTML editor of some sort. I highly recommend you give Kompozer a try, it’s free and it’s easy to use
2. You will need an FTP program, so you can take what you saved to your hard drive and move it to your hosting account. For more information on FTP you can read my article at How to get your website online
3. You should also get an autoresponder so you can collect your prospects information to build that list! Now I’ve used free and paid companies, and have come to the conclusion that the paid way is the way to go! So if you need to get your hands on a good autoresponder I highly recommend Aweber!
4. Of course you will need hosting and there I recommend Hostgator
5. Then of course a domain name which you can get at Godaddy
There you go 5 important tools you need to have, at no cost to little cost to get your first website online and collecting information or sales for you.
Until next time Take Action!
