What Do You Need To Make A Website?

Before you can learn how to make a successful website, there are a few things that you will need. The first thing you will need is a computer or laptop. Currently, most smartphones are still unable to provide you with  the functionalities necessary to make a professional website. You will need either a desktop or a laptop which will give you a good enough view and processing power for what you are developing.

The second thing you need is an Idea / Plan. You need to know what you intend to develop. You may probably want to make a website for selling items, a website for photography or just a personal website. The possibilities are limited only by your imagination.

After you have your idea all figured out, you then need to consider whether you want to develop your website on your own from scratch or hire a skilled person to develop it for you. If you choose to develop your own website from scratch you will then either need a basic text editor such as Notepad ++  or software like Adobe Dreamweaver.

Notepad is a free text editor that comes with almost all computers. Most junior website developers started out creating websites using notepad.They would eventually then move up to more professional software such as Dreamweaver which made the development process faster and easier.

If you plan to take the route of hiring a web developer then you may want to do this on Odesk. On Odesk you can search for web developers all over the world based on ratings and charge rate. You can set the number of hours you want them to work.All payments are made through Odesk so if you don't like the quality of the work, you then have the choice of paying them or not.

The final thing you need to make a website is persistence and self-motivation. Making a website may become a pain as you start to encounter development challenges. You have to be persistent and able to motivate yourself. Success in whatever aspect of life does not come easily. It takes hard work and dedication.
