Hopefully you have now chosen your website’s subject. You now need to create your website using a web editor. A web editor is a program that helps you create web pages by automatically creating HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language) which is understood by a web browser. By using a WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) editor, you can create good looking sites without having to learn HTML.
Things to consider:
Content
On the internet, you are not restricted to using words. You can include photographs and music clips. You need to add some words though so that search engines will list your site in their rankings. Give each page a title indicating what information the page contains. To do this add the title within the <title> tag in the HTML.
Make sure that the content is well spaced out and not too long. People don’t like reading lots on the internet so try keep it short and sweet.
Layout
It is a good idea to design your website on paper first. You then have some idea of what you want to create when you get round to making it in a WYSIWYG editor.
Once you have created your pages, save it in a folder on your harddrive. The homepage should be saved as index.htm or .html.
