How to Make a Website With Notepad and Put It on the Internet

Notepad is convenient for writing and saving HTML and other Web files.

Notepad is a simple word processing program that doubles as a convenient platform on which to build websites. Notepad files can be saved and uploaded to the Internet as they are. Fortunately for website designers and builders, making a website with Notepad is a relatively simple task.

Instructions

1. Open up Notepad. All Windows operating systems include Notepad.

2. Enter your HTML code into the Notepad document. If you are using any other code, whether its PHP or Javascript, this should be entered into the document as well.

3. Save the Notepad document. It should save as a .txt document by default. When you save the file, change the file ending, replacing ".txt" with the file type--for example, ".html," ".shtml" or ".css."

4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 with all other files you plan to use for your website.

5. Log on to your Web hosting file directory on a Web browser or log on to your FTP connection.

6. Upload the Notebook files to your website's server. Create new folders as necessary.
