Step 2 – Build Your Web Site
The next step you need to do is build your web site, if it hasnt already been done. Even if you plan a very extensive site, you should have at least a temporary page ready to upload to your server so early visitors won’t come to a blank page. When you sign up for any of our hosting packages you will be able to upload to our servers via FTP or Microsoft FrontPage 2002. If your web site is not yet built and you are a beginner at web design without much knowledge of HTML, then we highly recommend using Microsoft FrontPage 2002or some other off-the-shelf web development tool.
With FrontPage, you can use their easy to understand wizard that will help you build a professional web site, easily and quickly.FrontPage also contains many pre-installed themes that let you quickly and easily add graphics, colors and animation to your web site. You will also be able to transfer your web site files to our servers without any complexity using the Microsoft FrontPage publish function.

If you are already a user of FrontPage 2000, you may purchase anupgrade to version FrontPage 2002 instead. Click Here to purchase the software from a reputable online merchant.
If you prefer Microsoft FrontPage 2000:

If Microsoft FrontPage doesnt suit your budget or needs, then there are many other off-the-shelf programs that you may purchase (online or off-line).
Other programs such as HomeSite and Dreamweaver are just as good as Microsoft FrontPage or even better, depending on your own opinion and needs.
Keep in mind, that the majority of these programs will require FTP uploading via an FTP program.
There are a wide variety of FTP programs to select from. Some FTP programs are freeware while others only have small costs. We recommend using WsFTP LE. It is an excellent free program for download. To download this program Click Here.
Last but not least, if you are not interested in building your own web site, then you may hire a web designer to complete the task for you. If you are having trouble finding a web designer, please feel free tocontact us for one of our recommendations.
