LET'S MAKE A WEB PAGE


1.


WHERE WILL YOU PUT YOUR SITE?

You need space to build a web page. Most people get some free space with from their internet service provider. Go to their site to see if you do. If you already have it, move on to step 2. If not, check out our listing of free web sites.

LEARN HOW AND GET SOME FREEWARE

Now you need to know a few things. You can use a "web page wizard" type programs to make a simple page. It's a good way to start. But, if you want to have any control over your site, you need to learn a little about HTML (hypertext markup language) that web sites are designed with.

Don't worry it's really not that hard. Our free software section will give you all the tools you need to learn HTML and design your own pages. You can also search for Package web page design program from our download page.

You can also get a few neat tricks from our CUT-n-Paste HTML section. Just copy or cut and paste the code into your page.

SPICE UP YOUR PAGE

Now you can make it cool and give it a nice look. We have a collection of java applets and free backgrounds. Just remember, the more you add, the longer it takes to load. Find a good balance between load time and graphics.

I am currently putting together free flash intros, complete with music and motion, for use on your sites. Check out the initial versions here. Free Flash Intro

CREATE YOUR META TAGS

Listing your pages with the search engines and web directories is very important. More than 80% of web sites are found through search engines.

In order to properly list your page you need to have proper meta tags. These tags give the search engines all the information about your site, such as the title, description, and keywords. Use the Meta-Tag Creator to quickly and correctly make these tags.

6.


CHECK THOSE META TAGS!

Check you meta tags before you list your site. If the tags aren't right, you may cut your traffic in half. After you have uploaded your site, use the Meta-Tag Checker to make sure they are working.

7.


LIST YOUR SITE WITH SEARCH ENGINES

Now you're ready to list your site with all the search engines. The best place to start is with Submit-It. This free service will submit your site to 28 of the top search engines on the web. The next most important place to submit your site to is the Yahoo Directory. I get more hits from this site than all the other search engines combined. You must go to the proper category and submit your site there. All sites are visited before addition and only sites fitting the proper category and description are added. This often takes months to get added.
