5 Easy Steps to Create Your Own Website
It seems that every one now a days has their own website. I mean you’re here reading this post on my site. Some are for businesses and others are just to share your passions and photos with others. Whatever the reason is you too can have your own website and it’s easier to build {on your own!} than you’d think.
1. Have your vision.
What do you want a website for? Are you selling something? Do you want to share pictures from your last family vacation?
2. Head over to GoDaddy
Did you know that GoDaddy does more than just sell domains? While they are the leading name in domains with more than 14 million people served they also provide hosting and web design. In fact you can get a 1 month free trial of GoDaddy’s GoCentral Website Builder.
I have been taking photos of my family and friends for years and decided to try my hand at a simple photography site with my work and it couldn’t have been easier. You can scroll through templates and pick the one that you like best.
3. Upload Pictures.
I was able to upload pictures to the template and choose how I wanted them displayed making it totally personal. I love that I didn’t need to know how to code anything.
4. Edit
Literally everything is customizable. I was able to change the wording and more making it completely my own.
5. Publish
When you’re done you simply publish it. Here’s what I was able to create in less than an hour. I love how clean it looks.
So now that you know it’s so easy what will you be designing?!
You can get your free month trial of GoDaddy’s GoCentral Website Builder here. Don’t take too long though because it’s only free* for a limited time. April 10th to be exact.
*The Free Trial is an opportunity for you to use a GoDaddy product free of charge for one (1) month, beginning on the date that you accept the Free Trial offer.

Very good tips 🙂
I have never heard of GoDaddy before!
Great tips! I would recommend GoDaddy as well, I’ve always bought domain names through them and never had any problems.
I didn’t know about GoDaddy. Now I know I can get domain and website, can’t do it until I figure out how to download photos from my cell phone to my old computer
Useful advice, lots of people building their own websites now a days.
Great info I will take notes from for when I will set up my website.
While I myself have not yet tried the GoDaddy thing, I hear it is pretty user friendly. I’ve recommended it to a few people I know that have wanted/needed to set up a website, but didn’t want to fork out the money for a graphic designer to do so.
Thanks for the info! I know how much work goes into blogging but you make it look easy!
I’ve used GoDaddy to host my websites before. I found them very easy to work with.
I’ve been very intrigued with the idea of starting a blog. This post will definitely be good reference for me once I take that leap!

My youngest son is the expert on technical things not me. I barely know how to use the computer.
