Home Business
If you already have a home-based business or are thinking about starting one, you'll need to have a website for it. If you're thinking that you don't have the time or you don't know where to start, read on as this article will explain in simple language how to get started.
First off you'll have to have a domain name registered. This will cost less than $10 per year and it is best to go with a. .com domain. And a good tip is to use the keyword of your business in the domain. For example if your business is about quilting supplies and lessons, check and see if jobslover.com is available. If not think about some other ideas and try to choose one that is easy to remember and pronounce.
Next you'll need to have web hosting, I highly recommend going with Host Gator as they have been very reliable and offer great 24/7 phone tech support. This will only cost you five dollars a month.The next step is to create the actual website. Do a Google search for "free website templates" and have a look at what you find.
Using the quilting example, if you add the word quilting you may find a nice template that already has a related banner or images on your topic. Once you find a template you like download it to your computer and unzip the file and open the folder and find the index file.
Finally you will need to edit the template and put our own images and content in it. This is actually quite easy once you've done it a few times. Do a Google search for "Kompozer HTML editor" and download this and install it on your PC.
Then right-click on the index file and choose open with Kompozer, then you'll be ready to start editing your website. This HTML editor works very similar to a word processor, if you have some trouble there is a very good free book that you can download and learn more on how to do this in a step-by-step manner.
