Creating a website can be a great way to tell others about yourself, join a community, or write anything that will impress your friends. Anyone can own one, but not all of them are equally successful. This article will help you create your website in the best possible way to make it popular and successful.
Steps
Step 1. Think about the type of website you want to build
There is no point in paying $ 200 for a domain and then not knowing where to start. You could create a blog, a fansite, a game site, a help site, or much more.
Step 2. Make a plan and then start building your website
In this case you could go to Wordpress, Intuit websites, Geocities and create one or otherwise buy the domain.
Step 3. Give your website a nice look to attract users
Make sure the colors aren't too washed out, perhaps green or polka-dotted to give you a headache.
Step 4. Be sure you have something to offer
Insert lots of information, images, widgets etc. Don't make the information too boring and follow the text with the images.
Step 5. Make sure you can get feedback from visitors
Enter your email on the site or create a forum or chat.
Step 6. Create an interactive and informative website
Fill it with quizzes, surveys and various interactive user options. Don't go overboard with widgets.
Step 7. Establish a base number of fans and visitors
Give them the opportunity to come back to visit your site, encourage them to do so.
Step 8. Make yourself known to the world for what you do or are writing
Connect with owners of similar websites to yours and invite them to connect.
Step 9. Even when the site is popular, don't forget to update it regularly
This is a safe way to ensure that users come back to visit it.
Advice
- When the site is still new / unpopular, spread the word with friends and email invitations. It always helps.
- Winning a prize from another site is a great move. Don't be afraid to participate in these types of contests.
- If you are buying a domain and you find one available with an important name, such as www.starbucks.com, stop working on your hypothetical website and wait for your domain to gain value.
Warnings
- The network is known to be fickle, your site could go from one of the most visited to the most unpopular in a single night. Don't worry, it's part of the game and it happens sometimes.
- Entering personal information on the web can be dangerous, because you don't know who will see it. If you are unsure of the information you are disclosing, lock it with a password and still do not overdo it.
