Steps 1 to 3
Step 1: Design your website
You need to have a design for your website before you even think about programs and software.
Think about why you want your website and then consider what will look good. Pick colours that look great on any screen resolution and keep your pages interesting with pictures, videos and content that is fun, interesting and informative.
Step 2: Download the software
Since you don't need to worry about HTML coding when building a site, you will need to download some software.
There are trial versions of popular programs online, or you can download content managements systems for free.
You should try out as many as you can so that you can find one that you can work with - not everybody is the same, and different programs will offer different tools and benefits.
Step 3: Keep it simple
When putting your website together, keep it as simple as possible.
Look for templates and themes that are ready-made.
Don't go for textures that have a lot of detail - keep the website appealing to the eye and easy to navigate around.
