When you start a website you must first make sure that you have a passion, product or service that will be interesting to people. Research the other websites in your area of interest. If you are unsure of what you might want to start as a website, try blogging www.blogger.com until you decide what you are truly passionate about. You might set up a blogger.com account, which is free. Start blogging about some of your passions; whether it be art, music, health, people or a business you already have or one you wish to start. As you blog, you may find a certain subject, product or service that is really interesting to you or one that you already have that consumers find interesting.
Make a list of domain names that you would like to use. They should be relevant to the subject of your Website. (i.e.) www.yardcarddirectory.com/ refers to a US and Canada Directory for those in the Lawn Display and Yard Card business. You can easily search for domain names by typing in "domain name search" in the search area. You have several options of registering your website name – try for a .com unless you are an organization and then .org would be best. Profits and non Profits typically use.org.
Once you decide that you are headed in the right direction, then you need to research how to start a website. An excellent website to view is http://www.2createawebsite.com/ Lisa is very knowledgable in many areas of websites, blogging, U-tube and so much more.
You may have a hosting company that sets everything up for you, or you may wish to try something like www.snapmonkey.com/ where you can make changes for one price.
Another great learning website is www.visionofsuccess.com/
