Let’s get started

The University of Connecticut carried out a study in 1996 with regards to the human learning capabilities, the results showed students performed better when their learning was via visual representation, rather than studding from books and written content.

What do I need?

To design a website you require three things, a Domain Name, a Web Host, and a Web Design editor that will assist in the design and development of your website, below we will breakdown each and were to find them.

Website Editor, Design a website Dreamweaver

Although professional web designers can develop and design a website without additional software, to make things easier many use a program to assist them in the development process.

The leading software in this field is Adobe Dreamweaver; in our tutorials we use Dreamweaver to create a website.

Domain Name

In truth a website is never completely finished, we always come up with new innovative ideas and move with technology adding new features and elements to our website. However, we will reach a stage where we are happy with the design and content of our website, and we are now ready to make the website accessible to the rest of the world, this stage is referred to as going live. To go live we require a Domain name (yoursite.com), for people to access your site you will require your own unique domain. Domain names are very cheap to purchase and are available with various extensions like .com .co.uk .net .org and so on.

Web Hosting

We have now created a website and purchased a Domain name, we now require somewhere to store our website so it’s available 24/7 to anyone wishing to visit. Many companies offer web hosting on their servers for an annual cost. Research the term Web Hosting until you find an affordable best web host you are satisfied with. Most of these companies offer a live chat feature, so be sure to ask questions before taking the leap.
