SParKY's tips - Building a website

Websites are the way of the future. We are in the information age and alot of information is disseminated and found on the World Wide Web via webpages. Many businesses and individual are creating websites to do just that. This raises the question: How do you build a website? In 2010 some of my friends came to me with the same problem. I had to learn to build a website in a hurry. I did some research in the library and on the Internet. I found many articles and tutorials, but there was one site that really helped me: thesitewizard.com The site is run by Christopher Heng. There are many useful articles and tutorials from getting a domain to basics of a wide range of HTML editors. This site will benefit any webmaster. The articles are written in clear and concise English with useful links to related articles. A must-visit website for any student in Information Technology or Website creation.
