How to Create A Mini Web Page In 10 Steps

by Dan Farrell

If you are like me and not a 'techie' or web designer, but want
to create your own web pages here are the steps I use.

First, I use Frontpage2000 almost exclusively and many web
designers look down on FP.

They like either Dreamweaver or NetFusion, which I have never
used. So I can't give you my opinion. But I will say my 4+ years
of using FP2000 has been a love/hate relationship :o)

Love the ease and speed you can create a page, hate the added
code and quirky nature of the software.

But overall, it does the job and if you want to see some
examples I have done, go to:

And one I just did but hasn't been transferred to its own host
at kiosk,

Ok, I'm not that artistic but I like to keep them simple and
easy to navigate. That is important as most surfers click, scan
for a few seconds and either stay or click off. You need above
all, CONTENT! For the visitor or the Search Engines.

The steps I take to create a one pager with FP2000:

1. Write the content with Notepad, Word or any text editor

2. Open a new page in the folder (on your computer) you will store
your web site.

3. Open a template. I use 10 templates I bought
from Jimmy D. Brown, my favorite author. You can see them here.

4. Copy/paste content in new page

5. If selling something, add an order button or link. I use either Clickbank,
Paypal or Regsoft.com (I like Regsoft because they accept phone and check
orders, I like Clickbank because they pay every two weeks, lol)

6. Add any other links to pages, contact us, or special offers.

7. Create metatags (I use an 'instant metatag creator' I got in
the software package at Free Software Forever.

8. Add a pop up, either entrance, exit or pop under. I know you hate em
and I don't like a site to throw 3,4,5 in a row. But they do work, and
work well if done sparingly. I use Jimmy Brown's Eyepoppin'
Popups to create them.

9. Upload to your web host, using Frontpage extensions.
This feature I love! I can use FTP but its a little more hassle.
(you need to make sure your host has FP
extensions available and they have it activated.

10. Voila! A brand new web page for millions to see :o)
Oh yeah, make sure all the links and order buttons work!

A great site with tons of freebies is http://www.echoecho.com/

That's it, not hard to do once you have done a few hundred :o)
Just kidding.

Don't forget to get some traffic, and I have covered that
thoroughly in the last few ezine issues that can be read at:
