Step 1
Choose an ISP to host your Web site.
-
Step 2
Investigate several hosting services, considering factors such as maximum space, accessibility, reputation and terms of service.
-
Step 3
Select and download a Web-page editor. Several simple editors are available for free; Netscape Composer is one. These editors let you see what your site will look like as you build it, so you won't have to learn HTML or other programming languages.
-
Step 4
Your Web-page editor will give you specific instructions about options such as naming your site, creating different sections, creating backgrounds, adding links and inserting images.
-
Step 1
Create images for your site by drawing them with your computer's paint program or by using a scanner for photographs and other hard-copy images.
-
Step 2
If you find an image on another Web page that you'd like to use, e-mail the page's owner or administrator and request permission to download and post it. Download an image from a Web site by right-clicking on it (or clicking and holding on a Mac) and selecting Save Picture.
-
Step 1
Your Web host ISP may have its own system for uploading pages. Otherwise, obtain a File Transfer Protocol (FTP) program. Any will do.
-
Step 2
Open your FTP program and log in to your host server by entering your login name and password.
-
Step 3
Access the directory where your home page belongs. (Your Web ISP will give you this information.) The directory address is usually in the form of /pub/username, /pub/www/username or /pub/username/www. Your FTP program and host server will have specific instructions on how to access your directory.
-
Step 4
Upload each page and graphic of your site according to the specific instructions of the FTP program and your host server.
