Things to know to be able to start a web site today.

First I will point to you the things that you need to know to be able to start a web site.

Steps to start a web site today

1. As usual before you go any further you need to know how much money do you have or you are willing to spend.

2. Once you decide how much money you are willing to spend the other thing that you need to have in mind is what kind of audience and topics you want to talk about.

3. So far really easy right? Now is when is start to getting a little bit time consuming. The next thing that you need to do is start researching for keywords since you already know the topics that you want to talk about. When I talk about researching keywords I mean that if you are going to talk about dogs then you have to take a look and search on search engines for dogs. If the results come back with millions of links then you'll know that with this keyword is going to be harder to get on the top positions. You can use some of the keywords software to help you to decide the keyword but on my own experience I go for the links first.

4. Before you get to this step I hope that you know the keyword that you decide to us because that way it will be easy to continue. Now is time to think on the name for your web site. Think on something that is related with the keyword that you are planning to use.

5. Once you have the name of the web site on your mind then you need to go to godaddy.com or if you have any other preference and buy the domain name (name of the site) that you want to use. Have in mind that if the name have more than 1 word you should separate the words with - . ex. http://www.nuestro-puerto-rico.com that way the search engine will look at your name as the keyword.

6. In this step is one of those steps that you need to know what kind of programming or what kind of content you want on your web site. You also have to have in mind that if you are not that good with programming you should be thinking on a content management solution. I would recommend joomla or mambo if you are not that knowledge on programming/coding.

7. If you go for joomla or mambo then you need to start searching for web hosting that allow joomla or mambo to be hosted with their prices. Most of these sites are hosted in web hosting packages that allow you to have php since they are php content management but if you know any other programming languages then you need to look for a web hosting that allows you to do the programming language that you are going to use. My advice on this is that php web hosting is cheaper than asp or .net web hosting sites. This should be everything that you need to have a web site up and running today. I would recommend you to do some more researches about content management software if you don't know any programming language. This way you will feel confortable with what you are going to use. My experiences on the past with joomla and mambo have been really good. Is simple and with a little bit of reading you can do whatever you want for your site. I will be adding more articles with more advanced stuff soon but so far this is all that you need to know to have a web site up and running today. Also you will se that for less than 150 depending on the web hosting that you get, you will be able to have a domain name and a web hosting for a year for that price. So I hope that my information help you on Things to know to be able to start a web site today.
