You can create your own simple website.
Websites can be complex or strikingly simple. While complex websites have their place on the Web, simple websites are more easily and quickly created and can attract just as much attention. Simple websites can present content in a clear and unmistakable way, showing a definite message and obvious subject, whether the subject be the product you offer or the message you want to convey.
Instructions
1. Design a plan for your website. Sketch the layout of your website on a piece of paper to help you conceive the simplest, most easily navigated website possible. All content should be accessible in three clicks (the "Three-Click Rule") to help achieve this goal.
2. Open an HTML or text editor. A simple text editor such as Notepad will help you learn by requiring every element to be typed by hand, while an HTML editor will make typing HTML quicker and easier.
3. Create the skeleton of your website with all necessary elements. This includes the , , and (necessary for search engine results) tags, as well as any additional elements necessary for your page, such as to create paragraphs, to create links and to include images. All opening tags should be complemented with a closing tag. Here is an example:
My Web Page
My First Heading
Write text in this section to create a paragraph.
This is a link to an example page on the web.
Below is a small picture.
4. Include style elements in your page to create a more aesthetically pleasing Web page. Color, text alignment and sizes (among other things) can be altered by typing "style=" followed by the desired style in the opening tags of your HTML document. In the following modified example, background color and paragraph text font and color have been modified:
My Web Page
My First Heading
Use this section to create a paragraphs.
This is a link to an external Web page.

5. Save your HTML document with a ".html" or ".htm" file extension (e.g. "example.htm"). Both extensions are equally effective; the "htm" file extension was used when computers could only handle extensions with three letters, but now both extensions are safe.
