In order to create a website, the user has to first have **a basic understanding of Web Programming such as HTML and CSS**.


 * HTML** stands for **Hypertext Markup Language**. It is the predominant language for construction of web pages. It is used to describe structure and content in text form as well as to compliment text with objects such as images.


 * CSS **stands for** Cascading Style Sheets. ** It It is a style sheet language used to describe the presentation semantics (the look and formatting) of a document written in a markup language. Its most common application is to style web pages written in HTML and XHTML.


 * Creativity and good writing skills** are also important in developing your website. This is important in the marketing aspect of the user's website so as to attract traffic and keep your followers loyal. Of course not forgetting having **access to the internet!**

Once the basic needs and requirements of starting a Website is acquired, the technical part starts to come in.

Every website has 2 critical things:
 * 1) **A domain name**
 * A domain name is the address of the user's website such as (helloandgoodbye.com)
 * 1) **A webhost**
 * A webhost is the place where the user publishes their pages to the Internet, creating email addresses and developing additional features such as forums, shopping carts etc.
 * A web host is the company that provides the server space for web pages and whatever files needed for the website. The website files will be uploaded to the host and this is how a website becomes visible on the Internet. There are free web hosting companies available and also, webhosts that requires monthly subscription plans where the user gets larger disk space, faster connections and other additional benefits.

Therefore after having a domain name and a web host, the user can start creating and designing the website. The website can be build from scratch using HTML/ CSS or, softwares such as **Dreamweaver**, **Kompozer** and **CoffeeCup** can be used. However, Dreamweaver is by far the best and most respected for website development and management though it can be expensive. Here are the lists of disadvantages of hosting on a free webhost and advantages of hosting on a your own domain name.
