The easiest way to get started with web sites is to use the graphic interface
that comes with a free Web hosting service. We'll walk through setting
up a page on Geocities, but the process should be similar on other free
hosting sites. Look
at a finished Geocities site.
What You Need
- A computer with an Internet connection
- Ideas for your web site
Step One - Sign Up
- Go to your free host - in this case Geocities.
Click to sign up for a free web page.
- Fill out the forms to sign up for a free web page. Note:
Some hosts will try to push you to sign up for a paying service. Don't
let them!
- Keep clicking the "Next" or "Continue" button
until you get to the "Build My Website" area.
Step One Point Five - Find the Site Building Tool
- Choose your site building option - with Geocities, you can choose
from PageWizard, Page Builder, or the HTML editor.
Step Two - Design your site
- Have graphics ready on your hard drive - clip art, scanned images
or digital photos. You can find free clip art on Lissa's
site. You might also want to check out Webmonkey's Web
Graphics Overview.
- Follow the instructions given for the no-code option. It will include
directions on how to use your cool new graphics.
- Be sure to save your page when you're done.
Step Three - Admire your work!
- On Geocities, you can click on the link in the upper right-hand corner
of the page to go to your site. in other hosts, you may have to look
around to find the view site option.
