Let's start our how to make a website tutorial with a common misconception. You'll understand later why I'm making this point at the beginning.

Many of us very often confuse the terms web designing and web development. You need to be absolutely clear in these.



While web designing is basically to design your website with a template, graphics etc. and uploading it to the web server (the only consideration here can be, how professional and eye catching the website is and if at all it instils confidence of your visitor).

On the other hand, the motto of web development goes beyond. It gets to the fact that you are making the website for promoting your on-line or off-line business and your website MUST appear in the first couple of pages of the search engines.

Web designing is just one of the activity of complete web development.

Do you remember how you arrived at our website?(if you have come from the search engines). Recollect the word phrase you searched Google, Yahoo, Bing or other. You must have found us in either the first or second page for that word phrase. If you did more and go to the nth page, you might find many beautifully designed websites burried under the tons of information and resting in peace.

So now make up your mind and make it clear why you are searching how to make a website?

• Why you want to make a website?
• Is this only for fun, casual or serious business?
• What purpose it will serve you?
• What is your motivation level in making a successful website?
• Do you really have the passion to have your own website and online business?
  
• Are you looking to earn money with your website?
• Do you have your own products and services to sell?
• What will be your budget?
• How committed you can be and how much time are you willing to put initially to make your own website?

While I shall try to cover most of the basic concepts on how to make a website completely and successfully. But believe me there is no end for learning, so we need to concentrate on the basics.
