Decide how visitors will navigate the website. Register the desired domain name. 2. Design the website. Design the appearance and layout of elements on the website. Decide colors and formats. Determine content for links, text, graphics, animation, audio, video, virtual reality, and blogs. To complete this step, you may need specific hardware such as a digital camera, webcam, video camera, scanner, and/or audio recorder. You also may need software that enables you to create images or edit photos, audio, and video. 3. Create the website. To create a website, you have several options: a.

Use a content management system, which is a program that assists you with creating, editing, and hosting content on a website. c. Use website authoring software to create more sophisticated websites that include text, graphics, animation, audio, video, special effects, and links. d. More advanced users create sophisticated websites by using a special type of software, called a text editor, to enter codes that instruct the browser how to display the text, images, and links on a webpage. e. For advanced features such as managing users, passwords, chat rooms, and email, you may need to purchase specialized website management software. 4. Host the website. Options for transferring the webpages from your computer to a web server include the following: a. A web hosting service provides storage space on a web server for a reasonable monthly fee. b. Many ISPs offer web hosting services to customers for free or for a monthly fee. c. Online content management systems usually include hosting services for free or for a fee, depending on features and amount of storage used. 5. Maintain the website.
