If you want to develop a website, you will basically have three options for how to go about it:

  • Contract the work to be done outside
  • Learn to develop your website using web development      software
  • Acquire the skills to use Hypertext Markup Language      (HTML) code

Going from the most expensive way to develop your website to the best way to develop your website puts contracting the development to an outside firm as the most expensive method for out of pocket costs that you can select. This can still be a time consuming process as the web developer will need to examine what your needs are for format, functionality, and discuss various options with you before beginning work. The development of your website may take longer to outsource the work if the firm that you are going with has a large backlog of work. Generally outsourcing the work versus learning how to use a web development software program or HTML will require confronting some type of learning curve (and this can take some time) if you are not familiar with the software requirements and functionality of the formats.

Various web development software tools are available to assist you in website creation or alteration. Adobe, Microsoft, Netbeans, and WebDev are just a small sample of the web development software tools that are out there that you can use to avoid learning the complicated code and HTML structures to create your own web page or site. These types of resources are a great artificial intelligence bridge for those that want to develop the web site on their own, but do not want to spend the time and energy to learn HTML for a one-time development requirement. It should be noted that if your intention is to constantly update and redesign your website, taking the time to learn HTML may be in your best interest as web development software generally translates into HTML code as the base language for execution.

Many resources are available on the web to help you learn HTML code and coding structure requirements. Many of these resources will provide free "how to" advise on getting started so you can start off with a web page until you cut your teeth and become more proficient in taking on more complex applications like the creation of directories. If you have already purchased website development for your original site and wish to add some additional zing to it, learning some HTML basics may be in your best interest so you can tweak the language to install improved content like pictures, banner ads, links, affiliate marketing portals, etc.

It can be very time consuming and often frustrating to learn HTML coding, especially if you do not have any experience with software development whatsoever. The upside of learning HTML code for managing your web page or site is that it currently appears to be the industry standard and a little knowledge can go a long way to helping you keep your web page or site fresh and evolving. Learning HTML coding may not be the easiest thing that you have ever done, but if you believe that you are going to use this language on an ongoing basis to continue to develop or create additional web pages in the future, knowledge of this software format can be invaluable.
