With high setup fees charged by professional website designers, the best choice in making a web presence is to set up your own web site. In doing so, there are several things to remember to ensure that you are getting your money and your time's worth.

Get a Host
The first step to create your own web site is to find a host. It will be good to set up your own web site in a WYSIWYG (what-you-see-is-what-you-get) host which gives you templates and customization options for your page. This allows you to easily make web site design and changes a breeze. If you know HTML or other programs that can be used to set up your own web site, you may also use your skills and create your own web site using them for a more personalized theme.

Decide on the Look and Feel
When you have chosen a host, decide on the look and feel of your web site. A good indicator when deciding on this is to make web site reviews of other sites similar to the one you would like to create. You may choose among many themes and designs. However, the actual design when you finally start to create your own web site will depend on the available templates from your host or your knowledge of designing your own web site.

Get Started
After deciding on the design, it is time to set up your own web site. This process will include crafting the pages and deciding on their order according to importance. This step also requires you to make web site features available. There are many applications called widgets that can be copied or downloaded to boost the functions of your web site.

Test Drive
After you have set up your own web site, it is time to have your first test drive. At this stage, you visit your web site for the first time and look at it as if you are a guest and not the owner or designer. In this stage, it is normal to make web site changes. It will be good to take note of the changes you would like to make and then go back to editing and lay out the changes at once.
