Now that you've decided on a domain name, it's time to actually design your website! This is the most creative and rewarding part of the process.

There are essentially three options, depending on the amount of customization and flexibility you want and on how much you are willing to learn.

Choose a web design package for novices. You should look for a package that includes lots of professional looking templates that you would feel comfortable using - just because you want to keep things easy doesn't mean they can't look good!

Choose a more advanced web design package, like Microsoft's Front Page. With this solution you will need to learn a little more about HTML, but you will also have the flexibility to express yourself any way you want.

Hire a professional web design company to create your site. This option is more attractive to businesses than to individuals, but if you're looking to accept orders on your sites or have very sophisticated graphics, this is a good way to go.
