Why Newbies Are Afraid To Build A Website By Joe Robson
Can you remember when you first decided to build a Website? I can. And my toes curl up every time I think about it.
What a mammoth task!
I started out in my innocence and designed a stunning site with Microsoft Publisher. 'Hey this is great' I thought. "Just some Desk Top publishing, save it in HTML format (whatever that is) and then figure out how to get it up onto the Web".
Dear oh dear, oh dear. What an absolute disaster!
If you have your own Website, you know exactly where I went wrong. BUT, if you're a Newbie you WON'T!
So I searched the Internet for help. Here, there, and everywhere I went, printing out mountains of techie stuff, instant-build it stuff and HTML tutorials.
Man, I couldn't even understand WHY I needed to learn HTML. Why not a WYSIWYG instant Web Builder?
So off I went again and collected all the advertising promises of 'No HTML knowledge required' etc etc etc. What a complete waste of time!
The truth is that had I not been absolutely determined to build a Website to promote my existing offline Copywriting service, I would have given up.
I needed all this mystifying hype, lies, and confusing techie-talk, like a hole in the head. Because the biggest problem was that I didn't know where to look for the *impartial* advice I was desperately seeking.
Hey, I didn't even know WHAT advice I was looking for! Everyone shouted "Buy Me!" Know the feeling.
Some said I needed a WYSIWYG Website builder, but they didn't warn me that I still needed to know some HTML.
Some advised me to learn all sorts of Techie stuff that left me totally confused. Others said they'd show me how to start from scratch, but their instructions left me more frustrated than before I started.
Sheesh!
