Today’s inbox question we have Allana from Trans corner Manitoba who asks, “I’ve just started my own small business and I want to create a website but I can’t afford to higher company? Is there any way I can do this myself?” that’s a great question Allana. Well let me help you with an answer.
We came across the site called Sitemaster.com www.sitemaster.com you can see have it up on the screen beside me here. Great thing about this site is they got some great tutorials and that show you how to build a web site using their service. And there goal with this site was to provide a simple tool that allows you to build your own website just by falling a couple of step.
Now let me warn you Allana, you might want to be comfortable with the internet in using the computer because it is a little bit tricky. But let me show you how it works? Up here beside me here you go to the web sites, sitemaster.com and it quick simply once you created the user and you have logged in and you set your self up you go on to what they call their dash board. Within the dash board you can see all the different sites that you actually want to make. So you can make more than just one. You can have up to a dozen different web sites, we have created a couple here one called widgets and we had made our own called Get Connected.
If I click on the build button, you will see that it will actually go into the Get Connected site and here I got it up on my screen. It’s very easy to use this, it’s a very dragging drop type of idea. You’ve got the main page builder here and I can simply add new pages or add different things, for example I just go down here and I am going to add a video object so I simply grab the video object and I dragged it and I drop it on the place were I want the video object to be. And let’s say for example that I want that to link to a You Tube link, I would simply just go over select the You Tube as you can see there and then I would type in the link at You Tube with that video is and that would put that You Tube link right on my web page. It’s really easy to use.
Let me just give you an example of what it looks like once it’s published, you can put your own pictures, your own information, it can be in all forms and all sort of stuff and we build a really basic one here. But you can see right away up on the screen we got our picture, we got our logo’s and banners, we’ve even got some pages we can navigate too. So once again Allana it’s a great tool it’s called sitemaster.com, it will help you build a web site, but keep in mind your all going to want to be some what comfortable with graphics and the internet and the type of sheets that you create in order to do it. See if I can put in a more pictures of me.
