Who can design and publish Websites?
Anyone can design, build and publish their own website.
It is not necessary nowadays to be a programmer able to program in HTML or Java to produce a professional looking website. Websites looking like they have been designed by a professional can be built and published by a complete amateur who's only claim to expertise is a familiarity with common programmes such as MS Word and Photoshop (or similar!).
In addition, building a website need not be expensive! There are free software programs available which provide an incredible number of tools. Take Blue Voda, for example, which this website has been built with. Blue Voda software is becoming extremely popular. Set out in an easy to understand format with drag and drop functionality, along with hundreds of ready made templates to choose from, designing a publishing a website is only a matter of minutes.
Take the example of a case study, www.limebrook.com. This website was conceived, designed and built by a complete amateur in just six days!
Tuesday - decided to build website
Wednesday - drafted initial ideas, found Blue Voda software and downloaded it
Thursday - Saturday - designed and built first few pages
Sunday - published initial pages
In under a week www.limebrook.com went from initial concept to publication. In addition this site which from the beginning received very favourable comments!
In order to publish a website built in Blue Voda you do need to have a Vodahost account. Whilst there are some very cheap hosting packages on the market, Vodahost can hardly be called expensive at just $7.95 per month. Included in this price is the very good and patient support that a beginner needs (both direct from Vodahost and via their extremely helpful Community Forum) and loads of additional extras including the ability to have a Guestbook and Forum on the website and web statistics.
But be warned. Website design and publishing can be an addictive hobby!
