Stephanie Foster is the proud mommy of Ariel and Gage. Since she spends so much time working at home creating websites, she decided to make some based on her children's interests. Ariel's Turn is the first one; Gage's Page will come along shortly.
The challenge to this kind of site, of course, is keeping up with the interests of the child in question. Working at home gives Stephanie an advantage since she's there to see it all. She has a lot of fun talking to Ariel about her wants and getting her input.
Ariel is currently 4 years old and attending preschool 3 days a week, 3 hours a day. That doesn't mean much peace and quiet for mommy to work, since Gage is younger and still at home all day, but it does give her time to give him some one on one Mommy time.
Stephanie's main site is Home with the Kids, which is a resource for stay at home parents. She's worked on it for a few years now and still loves adding to it.
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.
