Welcome to the IT Club website! Home to information and articles targeting students in the IT Programmer/Analyst program at the Chippewa Valley Technical College.

Are You Ready to Build a Website?

So you're ready to build a website. You've learned some HTML. Played with some JavaScript. And now you're ready to build your first website.

Well let's get started! Here are a few steps to help you build your first website.

To Build a Website, You Need a Domain Name

To get started, you should buy a domain name. We recommend using GoDaddy. Below are some coupon codes you can use when buying your domain name at GoDaddy. You may want to read about these coupons first.

Once You Have a Domain Name, You Need Web Hosting

We suggest using GoDaddy's Economy Hosting Plan where you can get hosting for as little as $3.79/month if you pay up front for 36 months (3 years) worth of hosting. Retail this will cost you $136.44 up front, but it is the cheapest rate you will find for web hosting.

GoDaddy Coupons

Plus! If you use a GoDaddy coupon code such as "cjcfat20h", you can get an additional 20% off your order which means you pay just $104.33 for 3 years or only $2.89/month. ALWAYS check for GoDaddy coupon codes before placing any orders, you can save a bundle!

If you are a student enrolled in a local Wisconsin college computer programming degree program and need to complete an internship as part of your degree program then look into local businesses for an internship opportunity.
