HTML is the universal language used for browsers to understand the format of the website page it is trying to open and how it's appearance should be. We learnt html through html.net - a free online html tutorial that was very easy and simple to understand. The tutorial starts at the very begginning for the complete newbie who has no prior knowledge of html. You can also choose to skip ahead and learn more advanced topics in the tutorial.

By learning at least some basic html, you will be able to have more control over your website contents. Plus it gives you a great learning curve in understanding your website and giving you the option to at least edit small problems if they were to occur. At the beginning learning html is about trial and error but that is the whole fun of it.

• Simple and free - No complicated software - You can just use windows notepad!

• you have complete control over your website contents, look and layout

• Time consuming for the beginner

WYSIWYG stands for "What You See Is What You Get". At the beginning you may be impatient or don't have the time to learn HTML. Using a WYSIWYG editor can make it alot easier for you. This editor is usually available through many web hosts such as JustHost and allows you to create and edit your website as it will appear.

Some WYSISYG editors include Dreamweaver and Microsoft Frontpage, but these are expensive to purchase. You can use a more simple editor like MyFreeWebsiteBuilder or NUV. These 2 editors also give you the choice to edit your website using html.

• No HTML or web design knowledge required

• Easy to understand and visualise (like editing a word document)

• Faster and easier to use

• Some WYSIWYG editors can create different HTML codes that can confuse the editor.

• Different WYSISYG editors work differently - you are learning the software not the programming so if later on you decide to edit the site with an updated or different editor it can get complicated.

• Lack of control - we have encoutered some problems when we want to make an adjustment but could not pinpoit exactly where to make the changes.

You can get a business website prebuilt for you and have it up and running within 24 hours. Our very first home business website was built for us through the Plug-In Profit Site where we received a fully functional ecommerce website setup for FREE within 24 hours and allowing us to make money from 5 different affiliate programs. The only thing we paid for was a domain name ($7.99) through Netfirms and then $24.95/month for the web hosting through Host4Profit. You can get your own Plug-In Profit Site set up for you too through our website and to those who do we are happy to customise your website for you at no cost with out PIPs Custom Site Service (Only available through ebiz-directory.com).

We used free website templates from freewebtemplates.com. There are many templates available that have been designed for all types genre. There is surely one that will match your likings.

Wordpress is a free blogging platform. It has many templates and designs for you to choose from. If you choose to host your site through JustTHost or Hostgator, you can set up a wordpress website within minutes with the software that comes with their hosting package. Or you donload their software for free at wordpress.org - it is a bit more difficult to install and use this way though.

• Many widgets to add great themes to your site

• has WYSIWYG interface for easy viewing and editing

• you do not own the website. Wordpress can delete your site at their own discretion

• Little control over customisation

• Good for bloggin in general but not a good idea if you were to base your business website on it
