A gamer is somebody who plays video games ranging from action to science fiction to role-playing games. The community of gamers has expanded over the years, and the Internet has become a great medium in connecting gamers from all over the world. If you ever want to meet players who share the same passionate commitment to video games that you do, consider making your own gaming website.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Choose either a free or commercial hosting service for your website. Free services such as Blogspot may include banner ads, limited upload space and bandwidth restrictions. Whereas commercial services like GoDaddy offer larger web space, better bandwidth and an absence of ads for a monthly fee.

  2. Step 2

    Gather free flash games from online websites like AddictingGames and add them to your website. This is done by copying the HTML embed code under each of the flash games, then pasting them into your website's editor panel.

  3. Step 3

    Collect videos and articles related to gaming and upload them on your website. Ensure that the content you find from the Internet falls under the Creative Commons License; otherwise ask permission from the content creators before adding their works to your website.

  4. Step 4

    Create a free message board for your website, such as Proboards. Keeping a line of communication open between fellow gamers visiting your website will help to create a niche community. In turn, these potential forum participants can promote your website via word of mouth, and become possible content contributors for gaming guides and reviews.

  5. Step 5

    Use site maps or navigation bars embedded on each page of your website. This will add navigational ease for your visitors who want to access or return to the primary pages of your gaming website.

Tips & Warnings
  • You may consider adding a site search engine to further help viewers navigate to specific gaming information on your website.
