Microsoft Office Live
1. Go to the Office Live Website to start building your personal Web page. Click the green 'Get a Free Website' button to start the process. You'll be instantly directed to another page to enter some important details. Type your valid email address in the 'Email Address' section and click the blue 'Next' button to move forward.
2. Type a new password in the 'Choose Your Password' section. Enter other details about yourself such as state, ZIP code and secret question with an answer. Fill in your first name, last name, type of organization, and the number of employees you have in the 'Enter Your Information' section. Click the 'Save and Continue' button to move to the next registration step. Follow the rest of the on-screen prompts to successfully register a new sub-domain. If you'd like a personalized domain, you'll have to pay a price for it.
3. Click the 'Design Your Site' link located at the top of the page to begin customizing. Several default pages will be already included. If you'd like to have only one centralized web page, just simply click the 'Delete' button next to the page. This section can be easily located in the 'Page Manager' section. Choose the 'Edit' button to begin building your personal web page. Replace the current information in a zone by clicking inside of the box. Insert pictures into your web page by clicking an available space and selecting the 'Image' icon on the 'Page Editor' menu. Browse through your computer for an existing image to upload and click the 'Insert Image' button.
4. Change the Web page design by clicking the 'Site Designer' tab. You'll have the chance to change the color of your web page, the navigation sections and even the style in this section. After you've made your necessary changes, select the 'Save' icon at the top of the page. In the 'Page Manager' section, choose the 'View Site' button to look at your personal Web page.
Weebly
5. Visit the Weebly homepage to create a new account. It's completely free to use and will only take a few short minutes to build a web page. To get started, enter a user name, password and a valid email address. After the initial setup process, click the orange 'Start Creating' button to begin the process. Create a name for your personal web page by entering it next to the 'Title Your New Site' section. Press the blue 'Continue' button to move forward through the building of your web page. After a few seconds, the Web page editor will be available for you to add and remove components on the page.
6. Hold down your computer mouse and drag one of the available 'Elements' from the top of the page. Place it in an empty spot on your workspace area. A few examples of 'Elements' that can be used include pictures, paragraph sections, and Google AdSense. Click the 'Design' tab to customize your personal Web page even further. There will be several templates available for you to choose from. Preview each template by clicking onto it. Your web page will immediately change to the selected template. If you're not satisfied with the first choice, click onto another one to change it.
7. Select the 'Pages' tab to add more than one page. You'll also be able to add a blog to your new web page. Under the 'Manage Pages' section, click the orange 'New Page' button to increase the number of pages. If you'd rather link a blog instead, choose the 'New Blog' button to do so. Create a name for the new pages by entering it next to the section labeled 'New Page.' When you're completely finished, click the 'Save' button at the bottom.
8. Press the orange 'Publish' button at the top of the main editing page to make your Web page viewable to others. A pop-up window will appear for you to choose a Website address. You'll have three choices to select from. Use a free sub-domain that will include the Weebly name in it, register a brand new domain name for a price, or use your existing domain name. Press the 'Continue' button to move forward in the process. Give others your new Web page URL so that they can view your finished product.
