Your site acts as a virtual storefront through which you can sell almost any type of good or service.

Having a presence on web gives you a competitive edge and puts you on equal ground with others to compete while enabling you to reach millions of customers who browse Internet on a daily basis.

You can create your own site and you do not even need to have knowledge of programming. All you need is creativity and an eye for design.

It must be mentioned that you can create your site by going to web sites that provide free hosting services. On other hand, you will notice that these kinds of sites do not give you your own domain name. You will always get something like: http://www.somesite.com/yoursitename

This simply doesn’t look very professional if you want to project an image of a serious business. Think about it yourself, would you buy from a site that does not even have its own domain name?

There is lots of software out there that can help you make a web site. These types of software are basically WYSWYG editors i.e. ‘What You See Is What You Get’. They have a point and click interface and are suited for both beginners and advanced users.

These are two of best sites that I would recommend and have a very easy learning curve.

Having a personal web site on Internet has a lot of advantages: * Gives you freedom of self-expression. You can tell world about your favorite hobbies, special interests, post your resume etc. for whole world to see. * Ability to keep in touch share your life) with friend and family who are far away. * Great opportunity for making new friends and forming online communities.

Now comes question of actually creating a web site. Surprisingly it is not a difficult task at all. In fact there are a lot of web sites that will provide you with all tools you need to create your own web site and put it on web, and you do not even have to know HTML to make them! You do not even have to worry about buying up web space; almost all these sites will provide you with free hosting services. The only disadvantage is that they will probably put in banners (advertisements) of their sponsors on site.

For example: http://geocities.yahoo.com/ members.lycos.com

These are two of most popular web sites where you can create your own web pages. Yahoo gives you multiple options for creating web pages. It has yahoo page wizard and yahoo page builder, which are two very powerful yet simple editors for creating pages and have a point and click interface.

These are some other sites where you can create your own web pages. You can also search on Internet for more sites like these as well. All you need to do is register and then you can create your own web pages.

However, there is one little drawback when creating a site on these sites: you do not get your own personal domain name, so address of your web site will be something like http://www.site_where_you_registered.com/yourname

Where ‘yourname’ is name under which you registered.

However, taking everything into consideration, this is simplest way to get on web and start expressing yourself.
