Not so long ago if you wanted to have a website you looked to the pros (geeks). The first thing you did was start reaching in your pocket to check your finances. It was a foregone conclusion you were not going to escape this experience without a significant financial hit.
You got the basic website, enough to get you online, but not much else. Hopefully you negotiated a price before you jumped off the board. If you needed extras, it was like eating in an ala carte, Chinese restaurant 1 from column A, 1 from column B. To put it bluntly, it was expensive.
But as usual, good old American ingenuity saw a way to capitalize and stepped in. Enter the era of point and click websites. Now you can purchase a website hosting plan for as little as $5.95 a month. This includes a domain name and hosting privileges. Warning: the $5.95 fee might mean you have to commit to a year, but that’s fair isn’t it? By the way, there is no shortage of hosts to choose from. Shop around.
The techies who created these sitebuilders have made them almost idiot proof. They include step by step tutorials, as well as online support. Once you choose your website title, colors, templates (design) etc. your site will be live.
Once inside you will be given a potpourri of choices. These are click on icons with tools to build your page. Some examples:
- Text: various locations on the page where you can place your text content.
- Pictures: same as above but with pictures.
- Links
- Site add-ons: Special features, i.e. counters, html, blogs, rss, etc.
- Delete
- Move items
- Add page
- Change page
These are just a few features of these websites. Once you experiment using it a few times, you will find yourself moving around like an expert. If you run across a snag you can call support. Because of the competition, courtesy is a big concern with these hosting programs and you will be treated with respect.
