How To Get Your Website Up In 72 Hours Or Less Even If You Don't Know A Thing About HTML Copyright 2005 Ewen Chia

 

One of the biggest feedbacks I've received from my
subscribers is "how do I get my first website up, I do not
know any HTML!"

I suspect this to be a main problem with many starting
marketer who are not web designers or webmasters by
practice, but would like to quickly get started making real
money online.

Let me tell you this, do not avoid the problem, get down to
some real work and learn all you can about creating
websites because.

You need at least a website of your own if you're serious
about generating cash hand over fist on the Internet.

It doesn't matter what you want to promote and sell online,
your own website allows you to brand yourself, earn
credibility and most importantly, capture interested people
to build your own money-making opt-in list on demand.

Having your own website is extremely critical to your
success on the Internet, so much so that I've decided to
write this article so you'll have no more excuses not to
get one for yourself.

The good news is, you can get a great looking website up
and running in 72 hours or less with the right set of
tools, even if you do not have the time or desire to learn
HTML.

There are several solutions on the market today. Some allow
for greater customization than others, but each provides
the end user a way to develop a web site with a minimum of
hassle.

Let us look at them here.

==> Website Solution #1: WYSIWYG and Templates

WYSIWYG is an acronym for "what you see is what you get"
and applies to "point and click" web editors which allow
the user to design web pages visually.

These editors vary in complexity. Programs such as
Dreamweaver or Micrososft FrontPage, for example, allows
users to create complex templates from scratch as well as
edit pre-made templates the user has purchased.

The fastest way to get started (and avoid spending too much
time overcoming the learning curve on any program) is to
find a pre-made template and drop it into your editing
program.

You'll want to make multiple copies of the template and
save each with the same name and extension as used on your
site. For example: index.html, contact.html, about.html,
etc..

Next, you can copy and paste your content directly onto the
template. Use the formatting options of your wysiwyg editor
to create headings, colored text and text formatting.

Finally, you can go through and update all of your internal
links. Most programs allow you to click directly on a link
or image and pull up a dialogue box where you'll paste in
the link.

In order to make the process of uploading your site go
smoothly, you'll need to lay out the structure of your
site's remote directory in advance. In other words, you
should have all of the directories you intend to use (eg,
images, archives, products, etc) set up in advance.

If you use the 'remote mapping' feature of your editing
program, you can copy this structure onto your local
desktop. This will allow you to publish immediately to the
remote server while keeping site structure in place.

Here are some recommended tools and template resources to
get you started on the right foot immediately:

http://www.hypertemplates.com
http://www.microsoft.com/frontpage
http://www.nvu.com

Frankly with this WYSIWYG and template solution, you can
create a website far easier and quicker than you imagine
possible, it is almost a 'no-brainer' and if you can use
Microsoft Word, you can get your own website up in no time
at all.

==> Website Solution #2: Hosts with Online Website Builders

There are also tons of available web hosts which offer
browser-based web building packages. Usually, these
utilities come with a limited set of templates which you
can choose from and fill with your content.

These editors function similar to text editors in terms of
their available formatting and customization options.

The drawback with these editors is that your design options
are limited to pre-selected templates. The advantage is
that the method is super-fast.

All of your directory structure, image linking, and page
linking is managed by the server-side software. You can
publish and view your changes quickly - they show up live
on site at the push of a button.

All you really need in this case is content. You simply
drop it into the web based editor, make your formatting
changes and you are ready to go.

Here are some of the hosts which offer online site building
tools:

==> Website Solution #3: Outsource it

It is always a 'time and money' issue when you want to
achieve your goals.

If you have the time learn what you need to learn and take
the DIY approach. However if you lack the time but have the
money to invest, you can simply outsource the development
and creation of your website to professionals.

The crucial element in this approach is to select the right
people to do the job. You must also be able to communicate
your exact requirements clearly to avoid any
misunderstandings or dissatisfaction of the finished
project.

The three best places to get started on outsourcing your
site creation and design are:

http://www.rentacoder.com
http://www.guru.com

So the question is, "which option should you choose?"

If you just need a quick site with a couple of pages of
content, then going with a "website builder" enabled host
would be a good choice.

If you require more control and customization, then go with
one of the desktop solutions to build a site that fits your
needs. Both options are affordable and will get your site
up and running in no time.

Finally, if you're a busy or lazy marketer who wants good
results fast without the time and effort normally required
of the DIY route, outsourcing will be the most ideal
solution.

It doesn't matter which solution you use, all that really
matters is you must get started immediately and do
something constructive to get your website up!
