How to Create Website and Some Basic SEO Information
By peperuhi
There are lots of great reasons to create a website or a blog. You can be small business owner and willing to market your product. Or you love writing and would like to share your ideas and findings with the world. Twitter and Facebook may not be enough and your talents may require a better presentation. This article will briefly give you ideas what you may need to do to create your own website and lots of examples will be presented.
You are an amateur and lack any knowledge at all to make a website, that is fine, you can still build your own website. Of course basic understanding of online programming like HTML and CSS will make it easier and more professional but there are premade tools to build your website. First of all you need to get a domain name (i.e. Yourwebsitename.com) and a hosting service to keep the files of your website.

What you can do?
You may start by using the free website building tools like Wordpress. You may pick from hundreds of available theme selections and determine how your website will look. It is a good idea to focus on one subject on the website and you actually have countless options to optimize your page however you may want it to be.
Here are some different examples of wordpress made websites on a specific subject and slightly tweaked designs.
Go to wordpress, to find out more about how to install and run everything you need to find out. One of the best explanations you can ever find on this subject.
Of course it is best to do some planning beforehand. What do you want your website to be about, Football for example, or football games. Do you want to make a website to make money or just to share your thoughts or sell some stuff. Making money is mostly about google ads and it's a delicate manner to think about. SEO (Search Engine Optimizing) is a serious issue and classes are being thought about this in colleges around the world. It basically means what you can do to help your website come further up front in the search engine.
One of the best ways to get through this is to create websites with specific surfaces and maybe build multiple websites about the same subject and link them together. Like Hospital Games, My Doctor Games and Surgery Games. Or pick something you think might be interesting and not widely available. Like 2 player games.
What are google ads?
Make specific categories and design your website so that it is easier to navigate. Create a "best of" of featured category to collect your best stuff in one place. Go around to connect your website to other platforms and create some back links. Create a page in Facebook or tweet about your new content. Make a Tumblr page. And most importantly update these regularly to keep Google happy.
You can make your website look more professional if you are to learn some coding, the picture below is a website made with only coding.

Lots of good information. Voted up.
Creating a website or blog for that matter is actually easy but getting visitors and traffic to your content is really hard.
Your ideas on monitoring traffic are very useful.
Nicely written Hub with some very interesting and useful information for everyone with a website or just beginning to create a website. Thank you.
usefull, thanks for information...
Wordpress is high at top very close to wikipedia for me. Thanks for the hub
I am a business person. In all my time growing my business I never even considered a wordpress "site". My research showed that there are better ways to "post blogs" more focused on getting readers who were interested in internet marketing. I also found that there are many free site builders out there which are well suited to our needs.
From what I have seen wordpress is a good resource for people who are more interested in constant writing. As a business person I find there just isn't enough time in a day.
Well off to make more money, voted up and interesting because there are people this will be great for.
You are welcome :)
Very informative and the things are presented in a very convincing manner. I am also looking to launch my website, why not choose wordpress. Thanks for sharing.. Voting up
