The Joy of Creating Your Own
Web
Site
About eight years
ago, when the
inernet still wasn't widely
accepted, at least not as it
is now, I became frustrated
with searching for things in
Sydney (where I lived at the
time) and ending up
somewhere else in the the
world. The other thing I
noticed was that websites
often didn't identify
where abouts in the world
they where located.
As a musician I
would look for local studios or
music related businesses and
find that I was in the US or
Ireland. I decided then that
Sydney needed it's own
internet, music business
resource. I bought a program
called Microsoft Front Page
and learned how to create my
own website. I started
hassling all of my musician
friends to be listed. Even
though I wasn't charging, most of them seemed
fairly disinterested back
then.
I continued on
determined to learn and
adding bit by bit to my
humble little music site.
That site which is
Sydney Music Web now has
100 pages devoted to music
in Sydney and another 100
pages for other things such
as health products etc.
Sydney Music Web
now averages 1000 page views
a day with an average of 500
individual visitors a day.
That's 30,000 views per month. It often comes up
first or second in Google for
many searches
relating to music in
Sydney.. and now musicians
pay me to be listed on it!
Fun Stuff!
There has been a lot of
trial and error and many,
many hours devoted to
building such a project and
I am, by no means, a nerd. In
fact I have avoided learning
how to author websites in
code as most professional
web designers do. I
use Front Page because I want
results quickly. What you
can do with Front Page can
be simple yet effective.
I would like to show
others how to create their
own web sites the same
as I have learned to do. With a
little time and effort you
too can become experienced
in this rewarding skill. I
wish I'd had someone to help
me when I was learning, and
so I can understand what a
great releif it would be to
have some help on hand. I operate from my home in
Coolum Beach on QLD's
Sunshine Coast. I can also travel locally
for training
on site.
Rate are $25 per hour at my
place. $10 extra on site.
(up to 15 min travel).
