How to Design a Website 101 - For Beginners

If you are new to website design but somewhat familiar with computers, this collection of faqs will guide you through the website design process and break it into simple steps. It will explain how to design a website without learning HTML or any programming language.  There are also links to many FREE web design tools which I have used and found to be top notch.

If you will be hiring a professional to design and host your website, the first three steps will still be very useful to you in talking with your web designer.

Simple Steps to Design a Website

bulletGetting a Domain Name  - It is not necessary to buy a domain name first, but it may influence your content. And influence your hosting company choice.  Is the domain name you want available?

Also browse the other articles on website design which I have read, and found to be very useful especially for advanced website design topics.

I do make a referral fee on some of the recommended hosts, but I have tried to rank and review them in an order objectively and independent of referral fees, based on my research, contact with them, and other user reviews.  This is how I hope to pay for this site, so if you find it useful, please click on the links to signup, it costs you nothing.  If you have further opinions, corrections, other great links, budget services, to vote on your favorite host, or to report broken links, please contact me below and I will try and update accordingly.
