graphics? Still no problem! You can find thousands of total strangers everywhere who will make graphics for your site for free, simply because they have fun doing it. Go around and ask in chat rooms. I'll even make them for you =). 4. Web location. Though it's not a big issue for text-only and low-graphics sites, but if you want people to come to your site, your servers need to be tolerable. If you have most beautiful site in world, better than your competitor Bob's, and information would score an A++ on any review, but your servers are down 1/2 time, and crawling other 1/2, then Bob will get all business. You can find good servers easily, and even freely sometimes, if you look hard enough. If you have money, pay, it's almost _always_ better. You get no advertisements from them on your site, and usually faster, more reliable service, plus an easier to remember URL. Free services are getting better, however, but you'll have to deal with some form of advertising from them on your pages. 5. PROMOTION PROMOTION PROMOTION Most people make a site,then sit back and hope to see hits rack up. This simply does not happen these days, with hundreds of thousands, possibly millions of other sites covering same topics you do. The answer is simple yet complicated. Simply stated, GET NOTICED. The full explanation: Submit your site to search engines, advertise in every way possible everywhere possible, use word-of-mouth, advertise locally in school or at work or in bar, just let people know! Generally, unless your site is really great, you won't get too many friend's of visitors on it, so don't rely on others too much. This article assumes you know basics of making web pages, such as basic HTML and adding graphics. If not, or if you'd like to learn some advanced things, why not check out some tutorials from places like http://www.webmonkey.com or http://www.pcshowandtell.com? They'll help you a lot.
