Start your own professional website in 8 steps

You know how to set up your own Blogger or Facebook page, right? Well, Blogger is great. You can customize your theme and add widgets, but the overall level of control is quite low and you always have a blogspot.com url. If you're starting your own business or want to have a website with more functionality you'll have to look a little further.

In these series of 8 articles I will provide you with the information you need to start your very own professional website. I am not a programmer, HTML or PHP specialist and I could do it and so can you (© Scatman John ;-)). With a bit of time and effort anyone can do it.

The series will be divided into 8 parts which are equally important for starting and running a succesful website.

1. Intro (this part)
2. Content Management Systems (CMS)
3. Design
4. Plugins
5. Search Engine Optimization (SEO)
6. Generating content
7. Analytics
8. Attracting visitors with social media

I hope to welcome you again within a few days to read the second part of these series.
