Today it’s easier than ever to build your own site. Platforms like WordPress and Weebly, just 2 of many, make building a website quite simple.
Following the Dummies series books, at last count 4, can get very confusing. Is “Building a Website for dummies” really that helpful? No, I don’t think so.
It can be overwhelming to follow. I had a very difficult time trying to follow their instructions. Also the cost of the books will add up, and that does not include domain purchase and hosting costs.
The books do offer basic information in starting an online business, but you can get that for free on the internet.
If you are a complete newbie, which I was, much of the material overlaps into the different editions, which can be hard to grasp, especially if you are new to all the jargon of computer terminology, HTML and JavaScript. But, you really don’t need to have an in-depth understanding of that today.
Thankfully, today life is so much simpler. What you need to learn is how to create content for your site, the differences between posts and pages, how to navigate your site and how to have it make money for you by adding links.
First you need to decide what your site is going to be about. Do you want to start an online business and if so in what field.
I started my quest to get involved in internet market after I retired. I was very bored and needed something to keep me busy.
Plus the extra money would be helpful. After chasing around for a while, I found a site to help me build a website and how to set it up and get it functioning correctly.
This course includes all the information you need to get going and you don’t need to know codes, HTML, or Javascript.
So do I think you can benefit from “Building a website for dummies”? No, there are much easier way to build an excellent website or more than one.
