Why Learn Html.

(Akiit.comEver heard the old adage.

Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man how to fish and you feed him for a lifetime“?

Well, the same can be applied to having a web site on the Internet. Learning how to write your own html code and building your own websites will not only free you from depending on the whims of others but it can also open doors.

Its true that there are alot of online site builders available on the Internet that allow you to build and publish a web site with litttle or no geekismness. To use one of these builders all you need do is, select a template, type in alittle content, a couple of point and clicks and bada bing, your on the Internet. Just like thousands of others with the exact same web site.

If you will be satisfied with paying a steep monthly fee, for a limited web site, for something you can do yourself, the “never mind”. But, for those of you should consider learning html.

Save Money.

The first thing that knowing html and building you own web site will do is save you alot of money. The average online builder costs between $19.95 and $39.95 a month. The basic hosting plan that I use is more than the average small business website will ever need.

Not only does learning to build your own website save you money it also opens up a new world of opportunity.

Make Money.

The rates for professional website builders vary from a few hundred for a small site, to thousands of dollars, depending on the number of pages and other factors, All things considered, the average professionally build website, costs around $100 per page. As you can see, the potential to earn is there.

Once you have mastered html and have a few websites under your belt you can consider a online business. Start by building a free website for a few of your friends. Just to get the word out. Next, advertise to businesses and in your local and surrounding newspapers. Most small businesses want a website but don’t have their own webdesign departments. The majority of my business comes from local advertising.

You already have all the tools you need.

You don’t need to buy any special tools or software to write html or publish your html pages. It can all be done with Notepad on a windows system or Text-Edit on a Mac system. Notepad can also be used to write most of the other popular scripting languages such as javascript and php.

Everything you need to learn web publishing is available right here. Instructions on a webdesign, html tutorials, cascading style sheet tutorials all exist on the Web. There is no age limit and its free. So, what are you waiting for?
