With previous knowledge or without...Sources and Tools.(Cost less than $50)

There are two basic options to create your web site:

1. Get a professional designer to build it for you.

The problem is that most web designers based on the USA or other first world countries, charge large amounts of money to build the web site. It might cost you $5,000 to build the site, and you don't even know if they will build something that meets your needs. There are much less expensive ways to do it, and get the same or even better results.

2. Build it yourself.

In general, the main costs to build your website:

  • Domain name of the site...the annual cost about $10 to $30. (http://www.creating-website-stores.com for example)
  • Website design cost about $2000 to $5000.(These costs will be saved when you design your site yourself by following these steps.)
  • Web hosting cost about $90-$240/year.
  • How to design the site?

  • First method: Get a professional designer to build it.
