How to Create a Personal Website?<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\nThe first thing needed to create a personal website is a domain name.\r\n\r\nThe domain name is a web address, like, w3layouts.com. This is the address on which you will be hosting your website.\r\n\r\nThe .com part of the domain name is called an extension.\r\n\r\nWhen you set out to buy a domain name you will come across many extensions (.in, .co, .org, .net). Although all the extensions came into existence for their own purpose. But today there is no major technical difference between them (apart from the price, of course).\r\n\r\nHowever, it does make some difference in terms of building a professional impression.\r\n\r\nIt is always best to go for .com or .me for a personal website.\r\n\r\nAfter you buy a domain and hosting space, you can then start creating your website.\r\n\r\nThere are two ways to go ahead.\r\n\r\n \t
Hire a freelance web designer \u2013 Explain your vision \u2013 Put the designer to task<\/li>\r\n \t
Make use of a Personal Website Template \u2013 Customize it using a website builder.<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\nThe first way will cost you money and time. There will be frequent disagreement between you and your designer, concerning design, cost and time. But, the outcome will be a high-quality website.\r\n\r\nThe second option will save you a lot of time and money. You can go to w3layouts.com, go through the personal website templates and select your favorite one. These also have a website builder using which you can make changes to the template. In this case, you may be done with your website for free or very less prices. And, it will be worth the effort.\r\n
What to Put on a Personal Website?<\/h3>\r\nA personal website is like the online version of your resume. So, you must include everything about yourself. But that does not mean writing an autobiography. Make it engaging with pictures and catchy one-liners.\r\n\r\nThings you should put on your website are,\r\n
1.Your Elevator Pitch<\/h3>\r\nThis is about you in two lines. When a visitor first steps inside your website, you need to entice him to walk through it. A punchy elevator pitch, at your home page, will give an idea about your true potential.\r\n\r\nOut of many elevator pitch examples, here is one.\r\n\r\n\r\n
2.Bio about yourself<\/h3>\r\nAdd a concise bio about yourself stating your name, the place where you belong and what you do. It can be as small as one line or one whole page (which nobody will read for sure). So, keep it short and be as entertaining as you can.\r\n\r\nCheck out this example from markmanson.net,<\/a>\r\n\r\n\r\n
