WEBSITE DESIGN AND CREATION BLOG. MAKE YOUR OWN WEBSITE.

This website design and creation blog is something I've started to help you make and run your own website.

I originally started this blog because I work for a web hosting provider and have come to appreciate that there's quite a gap between what a hosting provider can realistically provide as support and what customers need as far as supporting information is concerned.

The Do it Yourself Website Creation category is a walk through from start to finish covering making your own website (although it’s still a work in progress at the moment). This is orientated to website design and creation using WordPress, and the cPanel hosting platform.

Other categories include wordpress optimisation, wordpress administration, wow to fix broken Wordpress sites, and "how the internet works", which covers a lot of related information.

If you'd like any specific topics covered, feel free to send me a message letting me know any topics you'd like covered on this blog.

Just to let you know, there is always the option of paying someone to make your site, or maybe just do the initial set up for you. I also offer a suite of website services that can be obtained to carry out some of what’s covered on my blog, should you need a hand with any of it.
