If you surf the web then chances are you go to websites from time to time. In fact you may have wondered on how to create your own. Learning to create a website can be a fun and interesting experience, or it can be mind numbing. There is a certain amount of programming involved, but once you get the hang of it its easy.
Learning to create a website usually involves some heavy reading at first. Then some typing as you figure out the scripting language. After that you mess around in design programs practicing your skills at building them and laying them out. Finally you rent the web space and put your site on the web. It's not a hard as it sounds though.
Now some of you may be wondering what I'm talking about when I say build and design your site. I'm not reoffering to the prefab models that you can get from some ISP's that let you post a blogging site for free. Most websites require you to build them from scratch. This means laying out your columns, group boxes, text boxes, and image frames. After this you design your graphics, and install your content, then you test.
Everyone who wants to create a website has to go through this, and although it may seem overwhelming it's not. It can actually be a lot of fun once you get the programming language down. Not to mention the fact that you can make a lot of money off of it. People will pay top dollar to have you custom build their site for them.
Although a few of us build it for the sheer fun of it. It is a bit of a challenge making a complicated site, and some of us could care less about the money. We just enjoy building them. No we aren't out of our minds it's just what we love to do. Just like some of us enjoy gardening, or working on cars, we enjoy working on websites.
If you lived 5 to 10 years ago trying to create a website was a little bit harder. The programming language for it was a little different and the software we use now to design them didn't exist. Everything had to be put in manually; everything had to be done in code. Technically that last part hasn't changed but site building programs do a good chunk of it for you.
Let's not even talk about streaming video. Keep in mind high speed internet access was still something be fumbled around with and not put into practice fully. Most of us were on dial up modems that ran at 28.8 kbps, or if we were lucky, 56.6 kbps. Yes I know I'm a bit of a geek, but this is what we used back then.
In closing learning how to create a website is easy, if you have the time and patience to learn. It can yield some fantastic results. Even a career path if you are interested, or if you just want to do it for fun. Regardless you will definitely have a new appreciation for the places you go on the internet.
