A web site builder is software that takes all the complicated coding and scripting out of building your website.
This software allows you to easily insert into your text, links, pictures, videos, and much more to create a website of your design. Most come with templates that make creating your website easier than "starting from scratch" and some, like ours, allow you to start with a complete site that you can modify. Depending on the one you choose, there will be advanced features such as built-in photo gallery, links to social media, images and clip-art, and more.
Your biggest option to begin is do you purchase software to install on your computer or add it to your hosting plan. With most companies these days, the second option is not only easiest, as they keep the software updated for you, but also cost as little as $1.00 per month.

Web stores are a bit more complicated than a standard website. If you want to start selling products online there are basically four options.
- Open an online store with Amazon, Ebay or other large online retailer.
- Use a store builder that allows you to fully control your products.
- Hire a developer to create your site.
- Learn the advanced software yourself.
For most people they will get their start with option 1, but quickly realize to have a good presence and reputation, they need their own store.
That is where option 2 comes into play. When you decide to move to this option, choose a hosting company that has an easy online store builder with integrated features that allows you to manage customers, inventory, as well as design.

Get your voice on the Internet!
Blogging lets you post your thoughts and photos on the 'Net and interact with your web site's visitors.
A web log (or "blog") is similar to an online journal. It is largely text-based, so it's easy to update and maintain-even if you have no experience running a Web site. Any type of information can be presented on a blog, from stories about a family vacation to in-depth commentary on world politics. In addition, most blogs allow visitors to post responses to blog articles or entries and leave feedback for the person running the site, known as a "blogger". Overall, a blog is a fast, easy and fun way to establish an online presence.
A podcast is a way to broadcast multimedia files - audio or video-over the Internet for playback on mobile devices (ex. MP3 players) and personal computers.
