Do you have a website?  Common question these days isn’t it?  Whether you’re an individual or a company, having an online presence has become a status symbol today…and for many, a necessity; it is their single source of livelihood.

Welcome to “How to Make Your Website” - your one stop, step-by-step comprehensive guide as a beginner to creating a site, optimizing it and then marketing it to success on the Internet.  Here you will learn everything you need to know to establish an online presence by creating your own site, optimizing it to make it search engine friendly and then marketing it to get it the traffic it needs to succeed online.

Regardless of what online success means to you, whether it is making money online or simply getting as many visitors to see your creation, you will find many discussions on various website related topics with detailed step-by-step instructions on how to become successful on the Internet.

Having created, grown and successfully sold a site for my online business in the past, I have transitioned into a coaching role where I help others achieve the same success.  My goal is to provide you with all the facts necessary before you get started with your online venture, whatever it may be.  You will also learn about several resources, many of which are completely free, and that I have personally used throughout my experience with site building and having multiple presences on the Internet over the years.

Read about my first attempt to create a presence online, where I talk about my struggles and what I have learned over the years.  Had I known what I know now I would have done many things different.  You will quickly see that you too can get a presence online with the free information and sophisticated tools that you have readily available today.

I do NOT want to convert you into a programmer or teach you a coding language.  In fact, I do not know how to code myself other than some very basic Hypertext Markup Language ("HTML").  Rather, I want you to spend your time doing what you do best, whether that is selling your product, providing quality information or simply working online as a hobby.  Thanks to today’s technology, you can do any and all of that at more ease than ever before, all without needing to know a single line of code. 

I promise you that you will never have to pay a dime for any of the information you find here. It’s just one way to keep the barriers between you and online success to a minimum.
