Tools I used for my website

I chose the easy tools for my website.

In case you are wondering of what kind of tools I’m using for my website. I have no secret because I’m here to help you and encourage you do what you love.

I won’t choose anything complicated for myself to write about myself and share them to my friends out there.

I am not good at technology so don’t worry if you think you are not expert to create your own website and share your ideas to the world.

Always remember that the world is always a place where provides you with something new and for free (sometimes). Later or sooner you will find the best tools for your websites. However, also remember that those tools are not always free for us. If we want a better website just pay some amount of money.

I also always know that not all of us are from rich families so we don’t want to spend a penny on unnecessary tools right now. It doesn’t matter. No Worries. I saved my first $500 at the age of 24 when I studied abroad and that money from my stipend, not from my job. I saved nothing from my job salary. I had my small website with my own domain name at the age of 28. Having my own website with my own domain name was what I always wished for many years ago. So, always positive to your life, even if it is up and down. Create your own website is always possible when you think you can afford your daily expends then buy your own domain.

My recommendation is that you should have a free website first if you don’t want to pay for premium. First learn to design and start writing your favorite contents and post them on your free website. Gradually, when you think you can afford to buy premium, then go for it and your websites will be found on Google. The contents that we posted in our free website are difficult or impossible to rank on top of Google, that’s why we need to buy premium.

Some big bloggers may recommend you to use WordPress. Since I have no experience about WordPress, I don’t have any ideas about it. In case you want to know its platform and flexibility you can try it.

My Tools

1. Wix

I’m using Wix, which is a free platform for everyone. You can create websites as many as you want for free. But, if you want your own domain name and found online (Google), you need to buy premium as I mentioned above. My suggestion is that you should wait if you can for the promotion period but please select other premium except Combo because Combo is still display Wix ad on top like in the picture below.

You can register to create your account at www.wix.com.

I’m sure we all don’t want that to appear on our website because we already pay for it and especially we paid for domain name. I don’t want you to spend money with the high price because it’s more than half prices of the promotion.

WAIT FOR PROMOTION PERIOD IF YOU CAN AND YOU WILL GET A GOOD WEBSITE OF YOUR OWN.

If you can’t wait for it, you can just buy immediately but with the other prices except Combo.

2. Canva

I will use Canva if I need to edit images for my website with the free version. However, since I always upload my images I rarely use Canva.

Register Canva for free: www.canva.com

Usually, I upload my original images that I took because I don’t want the copyright images on my website. If possible you better not use pictures you found online to upload in your website, otherwise, it will be at your own risks when the owners found them without their permissions.

Most of the images from Google are copyright images. So, control your hand from copy and paste those images to your website.

Last but not least, I haven’t hosted my website yet. I’m thinking about it. I probably host it after I finish designing my website.
