You CAN Create A Web Site Without HTML

When I decided to start BizyBodies.com web site, one of my biggest problems was the thought of having to learn HTML, Hypertext Markup Language,the code used for creating all of the information you see on the web pages.

I dont know about you, but when I want to do something....I want to do it now! Ok, OK, I know patience is a virtue and I have patience. As a matter of fact, I have lots of patience because Ive hardly used any of mine!

Awhile back I had taken a week-end course in Web Design, which really was a course in HTML and had realized, right from the start, HTML was not for me. So I knew I had to find another way if I was going to create a web site.

After much research I found several host that offered software that allows you to create your own pages, without knowing any HTML.

I first tried http://geocities.com. You are actually going through Yahoo for this host.

GeoCities has a very good software program that allows you to build your web site without HTML knowledge, however, if your site is to be a business site (selling product) you cannot "sell" at GeoCities unless you use their "StoreFront" package.

Another source is http://www.hypermart.com. They also offer a software program that doesnt require HTML knowledge. They have templates to choose from also.

The source I choose was http://www.homestead.com They offer various background colors, different types of fonts, clip-art, banners, and elements you can choose from Homestead or those you want to "import" from your computer. You can even add music. There is a complete line of "bells and whistles" to make your site, uniquely "your site".

What I have enjoyed the most is the flexibility and how easy the program has been to learn. The menu consists of icons that are almost self-explanatory.

What is really great is that Homestead requires no special skills, and no knowledge of HTML. They even have a "free" web page area as well as a "paid" area for creating your pages.

So, if HTMLs the reason you have been using for not starting your Web site, visit http://www.homestead.com to see just how quick and easy it is to create your site...and then.....start creating!

See you on the web....
