Ariel's Turn

Ariel’s Turn is all about my daughter Ariel’s interests. For now I run it for her, but perhaps one day she’ll run it herself. But for now it’s mostly about the sites she likes to play on online, and once in a while other interests and projects we decide to share.

About Creating Your Own Website

Creating a website for your family or other interests really isn’t as hard as you might expect. You don’t need to know a lot about website design, HTML or anything else if you don’t really want to learn. You just need the right tools.

If you want to start a nice, informational site about your family or your interests, I strongly recommend Site Build It. When you compare the costs it really comes out to be quite reasonable at $299/year. You get hosting. You get tools to make your site. You get tools to help you market it. You get great support. You can build a site to earn money or just for the love of it. And there is money to be earned for those who work hard at it.

For people without any online experience, I truly believe this is the best solution for getting started. You don’t have to buy an HTML editor or even learn HTML unless you want to. The tools alone are well worth the money. You don’t have to spend months searching through forums to find the right way to get started. SBI has a guide to help walk you through the entire process, from brainstorming to site creation to marketing to earning money from your site.

If going through the available information on SBI on their site isn’t enough for you, don’t worry about it. They even have users available to answer your questions, either online or on the phone.
