Buy a Website Domain

In very lame terms, a domain is an alias for a long IP Address. Domains was invented as a "Short Name" for a "Website Address". The Web Address is where the content is hosted, for example "IP 216.3. 128.12....". Now, a domain simply replaced the "IP 216.3. 128.12....".

Your Short Web Design Courses also include buying a “-co.za”domain. Your Basic website will have 5 menus and consist of Home, About Us, Sitemap, Gallery, Contact Us, Post a Comment, Popular Posts, Featured Post, and Facebook Page.

Hosting

Where is my web content hosted? But first you need to know how the internet works. In very lame terms, that "IP 216.3. 128.12...." (a website domain) consist of many "folders" that host content, images, videos, HTML, etc - and each of those folders have links that point to content (DNS Records).

Now, you can host your content at free servers all over the world. For example, your videos can be hosted at a server in New York (i.e. Twitter Feed), your articles in the Philippines, and your TikTok Videos in China. Together all those "folders" and "links" make a website.

Alternatively, you can host all your content at one place - at a Hosting Company. But having a designated server to host your content, cost money - hosting fees. "Hosting Fees" is similar to paying rent. Reputable Hosting Companies ("landlords") include AfriHost, GoDaddy, WordPress, Amazon, and Google.

Pages and Articles

Content is King! Ideally every page should be between 600 and a 1200 words. However, in this Short Web Design Course, we will have Generic Content that you can edit, change, or delete - we do this to save time.

Meta Descriptions

Meta Descriptions or Search Descriptions are the descriptions below the Title and URL in a Google Search. Meta Descriptions are imperative in Google Search Engine Optimization (SEO).

Gallery and “Alt Text”

An image tells Google what a website is all about. The "Alt Text" is the "Image Title" of a pic that Google also uses to rank a website. These Image Titles are imperative in Google Search Engine Optimization (SEO).

Categories and Labels

A website uses Categories and Labels to auto-display Related Posts, Recent Posts, Popular Posts, and even the Featured Posts. Categories and Labels are imperative in Google Search Engine Optimization (SEO).

Website Themes

The Website Theme will determine how how all your content, widgets, and gadgets will show. Your Short Web Design Course will include a Three Column Website with a Category Layout, Search Option, Featured Post, Related Post, Popular Posts, Post a Comment, Facebook, etc. You can also change your font, colours, etc.

Layout, Widgets and Gadgets

This is the fun part, you can simply drop and drag many of the website featured to new grids. Popular Widgets and Gadgets include Search, Featured Post, Related Post, Popular Posts, Translate, Hits, Images, Links, Labels, etc.

Contact Us and Post a Comment

The sole purpose of a Business Website is that new clients can contact you. After the browser click on submit, you will receive a message immediately in your inbox. You can also automate the message to more people - perhaps to the entire Sales Team.

Google SEO

As you have probably realized from the above, a website is designed with SEO in mind, and you cannot SEO an "Old Website" - it is like trying to fit a VW Beetle engine in a new Mercedes Benz. 

Google SEO has over 500 “Tick Boxes” to quality check a website - which we are aware off.  However, the basic "Google SEO Tick Boxes" include a Domain, Sitemap, Structured Data, and finally index the website with Google Search Console (formally Google Webmaster). 

Google also evaluate your content, date when the website was uploaded (organic growth), and that the website author was authenticated with "Facebook Likes". But again, these are just the basic Google SEO Algorithms.

Google also "penalize" websites with poor Google Rankings for a number of "no-goes" such as spam, or copying content from another website - and other topics I don't even dare to mention.

Website Terminology

Your Short Website Training Course is not just limited to the above, you will also learn about cPanel Hosting Settings, Add DNS Records, Google Analytics, Structured Data, Sitemaps, Add a Domain to Your Website, Google Search Console, and many more.

Outcome

On completion of the Short One day Web Design Course, you will be able to work as a Freelance Web Designer, admin an Online Social Marketing Campaign, or even earn dollars with Online Ads.
