Creating your own web site gives you full control, can be a wonderful learning experience, and also ensures intellectual property.
If you want to learn all the aspects of creating a web site you can hand write your own site.

What's Next?
Now that you've created your first web page, you will want to learn more about HTML.
We recommend getting a good book on HTML from your local library or bookstore.
Use software to assist you in writing your site
There are some very useful programs that can assist you in writing your web site.
These programs will let you edit your web site using tools instead of actually writing out all of the code.
Here are some links to some popular programs to get you started.
Macromedia Dreamweaver
Microsoft Frontpage
Have Someone Else Create It
If you do not have the time to dedicate to creating your own web site or wish to have someone who can update it very quickly, you may want to hire a professional web developer.
Another benefit is that web developers are often very attune to layout and other skills that will make your web site very professional.
Ask friends, business owners and others who you think have nice web sites. Many will suggest great local web developers who can help you.
If you can not find a local web master you can search for a freelancer online.
Guru.com and Elance.com are two sites you can use.
Once your web site is created you will want to upload it to your Web Hosting Space. For information on how to do that, please review our Uploading your Web Site using FTP guide.
