Website Hosting & Design for Beginners

0 comments

This is a basic start for beginners into the world of web design and hosting. In this article we wont be covering such subjects as locating and researching niches. Our goal here is to get you, the beginner familiar with the groundwork of a marketing website. The address (URL) for a website is a domain name is that is typed into an Internet browser (Internet Explorer, FireFox, Netscape) to enable visitors to access your website, without having to undertake the much harder task of remembering your site as 263.119.69.12 or whatever the numbers might be.

You will find that the domain names are very distinct, giving you only one of each, an example being eBay.com .However, you will find there are an assortment of extensions; the most familiar being .COM, .NET, .BIZ, .ORG & .INFO.

Beginners, along with anyone else can register a domain name with a wide assortment of authorized registrars. The most popular length of registration time is typically for 1 year, with other time spans ranging from there up to ten years. A domain name is renewable and generally is priced from $5.99 up to $9.99 or more for the preferred extension of dot com. Lesser extensions can be purchased for as low as $1.99 but are felt to not be as effective as the original dot com.

After that, you will need "hosting" on the Internet so that your visitors and prospective customers can access you website 24 hours a day, seven days a week. You are actually buying disk space on a server and bandwidth on a monthly or yearly basis.

Your choice of hosting will depend on the type of website you are going to build.
Most beginners start with a cheaper shared hosting plan, and later advance to a resellers account, virtual private server or dedicated hosting package.

In addition to disk space and bandwidth, further items to consider should include the number of subdomains and add-ons permitted, the type of control panel, etc - things that you will obviously pick-up as you gain experience.

Lastly, you are ready to build your website. Web design is not as complex as it once was, with the availability of a variety of graphical web tools now on the market - my personal favorite is XsitePro. Aside from a web design tool, you will also need a picture/graphic editor. The one I like to use is Adobe's Photoshop.

By surfing around the web or using search engines to view the top sites in the market youre aiming for you will get design ideas from the other websites. Dont outright copy a particular site; just take the best ideas from each to base yours on. A more simple option would be to buy a web template. These start around $9.95 and go up from there. Template Monster is one of the best of these providers and has a huge selection to choose from. At point the beginner now has his web presence and
Is ready to move onto the more in depth subjects as advertising, SEO and affiliate options.

0 comments

Designing a website is always trickier thing to do. Balancing between the usability and aesthetics is a hard part of designing for fast loading website. You can include many things to make it colorful or attractive but if it takes time to load than its waste and useless, since visitor aren't going to wait too long for the site to load.

Few tips have been mentioned below to rectify or to keep in mind while designing fast loading website.

1. Use HTML

Use more of html to design the pages of website which are fast loading. Use CSS to enhance the visibility of pages.

2. Less images

Minimize the use of images as far as possible because images take time to get downloaded. If you want to use image than optimize it for the page but don't overuse it.

3. Minimize animated gifs and flash

Though they enhance web page appearance they usually bring down the loading times, so use sparingly.

4. Background images

Instead of using the image 800px wide as a background, use it for header and footer.

5. Optimize the HTML

Validating the HTML is one of the best ways to optimize. Dont overuse the HTML tags.

6. Avoid the use of java scripts and flash

Both the things should be used less since both increases the download time as well as both are not search engine friendly. In-fact flash file take lots of time to load.

7. No multimedia files

Don't keep the background music when your site is loading since it is using huge amount of bandwidth. Its better to provide the download link to the files.

8. Use the same templates through out

Use the same template through out all the pages of your site which will help in fast loading, since most of the things will be already cached on to your temporary internet folder of your visitors computer.

9. Use of software

Get compressed images by using various softwares or you can use other softwares to crop or to resize the image as per your availability.

10. Loading time

Get checked the loading of your site before going live, which will help you to know to improve on the various factors related to your site as well as your service provider.

Being a developer, I can suggest you to visit the site Corporatesitesolutions.com and its pages like Website development, for getting an idea how the website should be designed so that it doesn't get penalized.

For example, space traveling might become accessible to everyone out there in 30-40 years time. Thus, buying a domain like www(dot)spacetravelmadeeasy(dot)com (this is only an example) might interest you.
