How To Build Your Own Website Without Paying An Unreliable Geeky Nerd To Do It For You If you have a message that you want to spread online, or a business that you want to promote or if you are a lively community group, then you know you need a website. Your first challenge is, how do you build that website without needing to learn how to do computer programming or having to sell your first-born to get the website built for you? Your second challenge is, how do you get a professionally-designed and beautiful website built that won't cost you mega-bucks per month to maintain? Because let's face it, it is hard to justify the high costs of building an elaborate website, when you are not yet sure that going online will be a good investment of your time and money.

So why not get a free website from Facebook, Wordpress.com, Weebly or one of the other myriad freebie offerings? The answer is because they own the website, not you. They can mess up your website with trashy ads. Sure, you can upload all the information about your project and you can add text and pictures and videos, but they own the ‘real estate’ – the software and hardware behind it – not you. Free websites can impose restrictions on what you can publish and where you can link to. And they can go out of business, get taken over or disappear overnight without warning. If you are serious about having an effective web presence then you need your own domain and you need your own, unique website that you own. That way you’ll be the boss. You’ll be in charge of what your website looks like, what you can publish on it and how it interacts with visitors. You will be self-sufficient and, most importantly, you will be in control. So how do you create your own website if you know nothing about software design or web development?

Easy. Use WordPress. And do it yourself. WordPress.org started in 2003, with the goal of providing ordinary people (like you!) with a simple way to build a website without needing to be a techie wizard. Today, WordPress is being used on millions of websites, including those of many Fortune 500 companies. The beautiful thing about WordPress.org as a website content management system is that it is a fully-customizable experience, and it is very easy to use.

How To Build Your Own Website Without Paying An Unreliable Geeky Nerd To Do It For You So how do you build your own website with WordPress? Google the term ‘wordpress’ and you’re likely to find a ton of information online but much of it is incomprehensible gobbledegook. Techies chatting to techies – like they do. What you need is a plain English guide that will show you how to produce your own website, one step at a time, and that will steer you through the whole process from start to finish.

‘WordPress to Go’ is the book to help you accomplish just that. Just look at some of these reviews: “Outstanding book on how to get a website up and running using WordPress. Really helped this neophyte.” “This book is the perfect resource for the WordPress newbie. Don’t let big words that you’ve never heard before get you down. Instead, use this book as the perfect reference for getting the job done right the first time, by yourself! The author, Sarah McHarry, is one of the early adopters of the WordPress platform, long before it was a mainstream piece of software.” “The author’s experience in WordPress is clear once you start reading this book. At some point, she was just like the average newbie, trying to wrap her head around all the jargon that webmasters use today. Now, she brings her experience with WordPress and makes it easy for almost anyone to use!” “I come across a lot of people who start off with their own domain name and then they get an experienced developer to build their site for them using WordPress. At the end of the development stage they have their website but they don’t know how to edit it, how to modify it and generally how to be independent of the original web developer. You don’t want to be in a position where you have to pay a developer for every page update that you need to make. Otherwise, you’ll end up with a site that is rarely updated and one that you have little or no control over and certainly one that is devoid of the creative excitement that comes with building your own site. A WordPress tutorial such as this can allow you to create your own website and/or modify it whenever you want and in the way that you want. This is a WordPress tutorial that takes you step-by-step through the various lessons in a logical fashion. You can use this WordPress To Go eBook to help you design either a blog or a static e-commerce site, or a combination of the two if you prefer. You don’t need to worry about coding; you don’t need to be overly technically minded”
