Most web hosting companies offer website building software and templates – usually for a fee in addition to their hosting fee – to make the job of creating a website, quick and easy. Other website building programs such as Microsoft Front Page, Web Studio and Macromedia Dreamweaver are also programs to help you create a website.
If you are not using a drag and drop template or program, you can create your web pages in programs like Word, Excel or as a PDF, then upload them to your website. You will notice that under your “file” function in Word and on PDFs, you have the option to “publish to web.” While this option is as easy as a click, there are limitations with it. Using a website building program, however, will give you more creative options.
There are other ways to create a web page. You could learn html codes so you can create the pages using scripts and programs. On a much simpler note, you can also hire someone to build your websites if you are not interested in doing it yourself with a site builder or learning html (which is not done in a day). If you do opt to hire someone to build your website, you either need to plan to budget for maintenance of that site or have them give you step by step instructions so that you or one of your employees can make the changes as needed quickly and easily.
