Are You Ready to Build a Website?
So you say you're ready to build a website. You've learned some HTML. Played with some JavaScript. And now you are ready to build your first website.
Well since that's the case, let's get started with the few steps you need to follow to build your first website.
To Build a Website, You Need a Domain Name
We recommend GoDaddy's domain name registration services for people who want to purchase their own domain names and maintain complete ownership and control. Note that using this method of domain name registration may require some modifications to website hosting packages and other necessary processing and procedures to be completed by you.
You can register your domain name right now by visiting GoDaddy. Make sure you note the paragraph below where we describe GoDaddy coupon codes before you register and pay for your domain name though!
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. Plus! If you use the GoDaddy coupon code "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!
How to Set Up FTP
I want to keep this article simple and to the point so, for brevity, I will just include a link to GoDaddy's Support Page for FTP: http://community.godaddy.com/godaddy/ftp-for-go-daddy-in-a-nutshell/
Internship Opportunity
Last year a NEW Local Internship Opportunity grew out of a partnership with the Capable Media, the first Internet Marketing and Search Engine Optimization Company in Eau Claire, Wisconsin. This internship opportunity is a great way for students to learn more about putting the knowledge they have received through their computer programming degree program into real-world practice. Students in this internship program learn how to build functional Web sites for local businesses. Students also learn how to work with others on projects that require meeting goals and deadlines. An internship like this is great on a resume because it highlights the skills you have used to produce quality work in a team setting; this is what employers are looking for.
Students seeking a Computer Programming Degree in Eau Claire are required to complete either the Information Technology Capstone class or a Programmer/Analyst Internship requiring that they perform any of the following job duties: programming business applications, web page design and programming, spreadsheet applications, and database applications. 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 Capable Media for an internship opportunity.
