Welcome
This site is a compilation of tutorials aimed at teaching the novice the steps necessary to create, launch and market a website.
The purpose of this site is not to teach you programming or design but instead to show you how to focus on using the resources that are easily available and hold your hand through each steps through detailed explanations, screenshots and examples.
The first tutorial available will walk you through the initial steps of:
- Selecting a domain name
- Signing up for hosting (my tutorials use Dreamhost)
- Installing Wordpress to drive your website
- Understanding Wordpress and creating basic content
This tutorial is filled with screenshots and explanations of each step and will provide you with a good looking site by the end of it.
I hope that you find this site useful.
Disclaimer: I am an affiliate of Dreamhost hosting which is where I host my own sites. You can, of course, use any hosting that you desire but my tutorials are geared towards Dreamhost. They have great value for the buck – $120 or less per year (less if you sign up for more than one year) – which includes your domain name (http://yourdomain.com), unlimited domain hosting, unlimited emails and lots of goodies such as the ability to install Wordpress in a few clicks.
