Web Design: Building a Web Page

September 30th, 2009

So do you want a personal website or something to put a face to your business?  That is a very simple task and there are actually plenty of tools out there available to the public to make this possible.

Some options include:

Wordpress: A simple blog site that can be easily altered and modified to fit your custom needs.  For any standard operation I HIGHLY recommend this option.  It’s very easy to use, manage, and it’s very client/end-user friendly.  In less than an hour I can have you very comfortable in a Wordpress presence.  You can get more info on Wordpress at their site: http://www.wordpress.org

Standard HTML: This one requires you to build the site yourself, but a little guidance can make this very easy.  This I can do from the ground up if you need, or if you want to tackle it yourself check my website maintenance category posts, and they will offer a bit of insight into the world of HTML.  One thing on HTML building is you will probably need a program to help.  They offer free or low cost ones such as textpad online; however, I recommend Dreamweaver, or have someone set something like Joomla up for you first.

PHP: This is a much more advanced form of web presence that requires skills much higher than my own.  If you have PHP or need a PHP site, unfortunately I am not going to be the guy for you; however, I do know folks who do this, so give me a shout anyway and I will send you their way.

This is a short, brief section only because anyone working in this area usually has the know-how to get from place to place.  If you do require more assistance or just have questions feel free to contact me directly.

Until next time!
