The first decision you must make is where you will host this new site. Do you want free web hosting? Here are some tips about choosing a free web host.

Try to go for web hosts that have been around longer. If they already have a track record for longevity, chances are greater that they'll be around for life of your site. Hosts like these include:

Geocities ; Tripod ; and Hypermart .

Please note that this is not an endorsement of these hosts nor is it any guarantee that they will last.

Make sure you know who owns content of your site -- you or free web host. This is in fine print -- read it carefully before you click submit button to create your account. When starting out often a free web host is within your budget. Until your business grows it is a good idea on web, as with a bricks and mortar store, to keep costs down. There are many good free hosting companies on web. It's your choice whether you want to host free or you would like to get a domain name now. It is all in planning.

Let's look at how you can resolve each of these issues.

Lack of clear purpose – first page of your web site must have a clear title and description, which immediately states what your site is about. (if you need help to determine purpose of web site, read: "How To Build A Web Site That Sells" – www.isitebuild.com/buildingA.htm)

You must include a clear benefit of your product or service in your description. For example if you are a web design company, your title may be "How to Build a Web Site That Sells". Your description may be something like: "Let us save you precious time and hassles, by designing a professional web site that WILL sell your product or service".

In this example, you have stated clear purpose of your web site (designing professional web sites that sell) and given your readers a clear benefit (saving time and hassles).

The rest of your web page, should support title and description of your web site. Continue to emphasize benefits of your product to your visitors. You should conclude your copy with a call to action eg "click here to order".

Layout of Your Copy – you may spend a lot of time and money, to attract visitors to your web site, but if you have a poorly designed web page, then visitors will become frustrated and leave.

1. Alignment – There are 3 kinds of alignment for your web page – left side, right side and centered. Choose one, then use it on entire page or even throughout your other web pages. Don't try to mix alignments, because this will make your web page look unprofessional.

One such example, is to align all text on your page to left. This will create a strong edge and make it easier for your visitors to navigate and read. Avoid bumping up your text to navigation bar or graphics. Create an equal amount of space between all elements on your page. If they are bunched up, it will create a cluttered appearance.
