Introduction to building a web site

Introduction to creating your own web site using modern tools:

This does not require programming. You need about the same technical ability as creating a PowerPoint. You can use any website building tool you wish. Two examples of free website building tools that other students have successfully used include https://www.wix.com and https://www.weebly.com 

Ok, so exactly what do I need to do in week one? Here is a step-by-step guide:

1. Select one of these or any free website building tools.
2. Create a new login.
3. Create a new website and your own url web site address.
4. Add a few words for a title and select a background / template. You will begin developing wonderful, rich content starting next week.
5. Publish and test your url. It is wise to try it out in a separate browser than you created it to verify it works.
6. Copy and paste your URL into BB under the Week One project assignment
7. Congratulate yourself and celebrate! (especially if this is your first site)
