Want To Build Your Own Website?
Welcome to my “How To Build A Website From Scratch” page, my name is Craig and I’ve been building websites for several years now. I also really enjoy creating how to video tutorials so that others can learn and follow along at the same time.
I personally prefer to learn from video tutorials as I find it easier when I can visually see the steps that need to be taken.
Over the past couple of years I’ve built websites for friends at no cost and to get them online, but I’ve also built complete websites for local businesses at a premium price.
Understanding that not everyone can afford to have a custom website created I decided to create a video tutorial in October that would show people how to build a website from scratch. That way I could help countless other people who wanted to create there own website or blog without having to pay a professional company $1,000′s of dollars.
In the video below, I take you by the hand and show you how to get your own domain and hosting account setup, how to create a website/blog using WordPress as a platform.
Not only am I going to show you how to build a website, I’m also offering my own personal support, so if you decide to make a website from scratch following the video tutorial and then run into any kind of problems, I’m going to try my best to help you out. (Need help or support – You can now contact me via a Google+ community I’ve put together called “How To WordPress Tutorials“ https://plus.google.com/u/0/communities/100817298545318590300
So without further adieu I’d like to invite you to watch my “How To Build A Website From Scratch” video tutorial below. Now I must warn you that I can’t teach you how to make a website in 5 or 15 minutes, this video is around 1 hour and 24 minutes long so I recommend that you grab a pen and paper to take notes, plus bookmark the page/video so you can return later to continue watching should you run out of time and not see all the video.

Website Hosting
So If you’ve watch the “How To Build A Website From Scratch” video you’ll know that I highly recommend Hostgator as a hosting company for your website. I’ve personally been using Hostgator for several years and have no complaints or problems with them, I have some personal coupon codes that you are more than welcome to use, using them will save you money and at the same time generate an affiliate commission for me.
If you wish to use my personal Hostgator coupons please enter one of the following.
HOWTOVIDEO – First month for FREE / $9.95 OFF
HOWTOVIDEO25 – 25% OFF Total Checkout Cost
In the past I did have someone tell me that I’m only recommending Hostgator because I’m an affiliate for them, well yes I’m an affiliate but if all I wanted was the commission I’d be pointing people to other hosting company’s that offer better and bigger commission’s. I recommend Hostgator because it’s who I use and trust with my websites and support.
I’m going to be adding more details and content to this page in the coming days, but for now I’m just going to publish as I’m ready to upload and make this page public. Again if you have any question or comments, please post them below or on the youtube video page.
Grab yourself a nice cup of coffee then sit back and learn How To Build A Website From Scratch.
