Step 1
Create a content outline before attempting to make a free web page (or home page) for a home business. Include subject sections such as "About The Company," "Services" or "Products," and "Contact Information," as appropriate. Each section may require a separate "web page," each linked to the home page of the website.
-
Step 2
Draft the written marketing content in a word processing program, rather than online, to minimize the risk of data loss. Think of the home business web page as an online brochure. Focus on the home page content first, providing an introduction to your home business. Expand upon the sections outlined in Step 1 and determine how many actual "pages" are needed for the website. (Refer to this step during Step 5)
-
Step 3
Evaluate free web hosting providers that offer online web page creation tools as well as business-oriented website templates--these are preformatted and designed web pages that vary in style and structure. Try FreeWebs.com, DotEasy.com and Blogger.com, for starters, to easily make a free web page for a home business. Select a web hosting provider based on the preferred web page creation tools, website template style and web hosting features (e.g. email service).
-
Step 4
Follow the directions for using the web page creation tools at the web hosting provider of choice. The web page creation tool often boasts a graphical interface--with icons or buttons that perform web page creation functions (e.g. insert an image, adjust font type, add a table or hyperlink) as well as the ability to directly type in or "paste" written content for publication online.
-
Step 5
Select a design theme for the home business website from the available website templates provided. Use the web page content from steps 1 and 2 as a guideline. Modify the aesthetics of the web page as needed (e.g. add a logo, replace images, adjust colors).
-
Step 6
Copy the written content from Step 5 and paste it into the publishing area (content box). Make a free home business web page more attractive and easier-to-read by dividing large blocks of text with spacing and/or images, adding bolding to titles and subtitles, and providing clear contact instructions.
-
Step 7
Preview and proofread the home business web page carefully and insert images where desired. Aim for concise language, quality images and useful consumer information. Ensure that all hyperlinks work. Add a title, description and keywords where prompted in what is otherwise referred to as the "Meta Tags" section. Publish your web page for the public when satisfied with the preview results.
-
Step 8
Register a business domain name (website address) to lend the home business web page credibility and better promote name recognition. Use either the web hosting provider or a domain registrar such as GoDaddy.com and follow the instructions for linking the URL (website address) to the free account.
