Webmaster's Corner


Do you want to build a Web site or a personal home page? Or maybe you already have one and you want to make it better? Do you need images, animations for your page? Are you looking for new features like a guestbook, a counter, a chat room? Do you want to promote your site and get more visitors? This page tells you how you can do all this and much more - The best part is you can do all this for FREE.


First, you need to build your page. You can use a WYSIWYG web page editor, like Netscape Composer (included in Netscape Communicator 4.6). Some Web page providers (like Tripod) also let you use an easy to use Web page builder on their site. That's the easy way, and you might want to start like this if you want to build a simple and quick page.
The other way is to learn HTML. HTML is the "programming language" used to create web pages. Don't worry, it's not that hard! Try this HTML tutorial. This great tutorial will teach you all you need to know about HTML. Once you know some basic HTML, just use a text editor like NotesPad (AMAZING and FREE text editor! Nothing to do with the poor Windows Notepad), type the HTML code, save the file as a .html file, and check the results by opening this file in your Web browser. You can also use a free HTML editor (you can find one on our Free software page) which will make it easier to create HTML pages.
You might also need some graphics and animation, or additional help. Check the following sites:

Now you have a nice Web page, and you want other people to see it! You have to publish it on the Web. Some access providers offer to host your page for a small fee. But you can host it for free! You can select a free webspace provider from over 200 of them. Visit this site!

Once your Web site is online, you might want to know how many people visit it. That's what counters are for. You can get a good counter with many features for free at Better Counter.
Better Counter - Free - "Better Counter" (free!) is the world's first counter that combines the feature to count several pages, the usability and clarity of a Java Applet and a complete analysis tool within a freely customizable page structure.

Let people know about your page!

Do you want more people to visit your page? Let people know about it! Usually people don't find your page by chance. There are several ways for you to get visitors to your page:
Tell your friends about it! At least your friends will visit your page...
Ask people to add a link to your page on their own page! It's a good way to get visitors. If you wish, we can add a link to your page on our links page, so people visiting will probably visit your page! Just fill in this form. Include the URL of your page and a short description.
Another way to get visitors is to use a banner exchange service. With those services, you can exchange banners with other members of the banner exchange. When a banner from another site is displayed on your site, your banner gets credits, and those credits allow your banner to be displayed on other people's sites. So people who are interested click on the banner and are sent to your site. A great banner exchange service is PowerExchange. It's FREE and has a lot of features other similar services don't have. Click the banner below for more info.

People also find sites by using search engines. So if you want more visitors you should also submit your site to search engines. But it's boring to visit each search engine and submit your site manually. You can submit it for free to 24 search engines using the following site:
Submission Station *FREE* - The first stop in Website submission. Submit multiple URLs to 24 of the Web's most popular search engines with a single click...for free!
