Making A Website!

So a lot of people have come up to me after my presentation in my marketing capstone class and asked how I created my Website. I have created a few websites now both for school projects and for businesses.

For all of those wondering how, i'm going to tell you a few was to do it. Now I don't know how to code, so I have primarily use two diffrent ways of creating a webpage.

The first is www.wix.com. This is a free tool to be able to create a website and its very simple to do. This is my go-to website builder for school projects because it free to use. You don't have to pay anything until want to publish the site.

The second way is to use WordPress, which to use you have to purchase a domain name. This is the tool I have used to create my personal site, Magic Diesel Dust Marketing. It's not as simple as Wix and to be honest its quite confusing. This website builder takes a lot of just siting down and playing around with the diffrent tools. The reason I like WordPress is because a lot of business use it. If you have experience with WordPress, it will set you apart from the competition when looking for a job.

The last tool I have used to create a website is actually having a website building company do all the coding on the backend. Then the site is set up using an admin sign in, so I can edit and change content and layout of the pages.

I hope this help everyone that it wondering and I encourage everyone to make a site of their own!
