My students in my Basic Computer and Internet class always ask me how to make a web page for free. Well making a web page for free these days is actually easy. Of course you can still do the painstaking task of making every element; every detail of the website yourself, but there are now a lot of sites that help you start from their platform and work your way around to eventually make a site that is uniquely yours, and the good thing? They won't ask for you even a single cent.

There are a lot of books out there on how to make a web page for free out there in the market by I'll go you through some of the best free sites that help you make your web page a reality.

www.xanga.com

This site has been operating steadily since early 2000. Back then, this is what I would usually recommend to my students if they want to start their own web page without the unnecessary work and without reaching money from their pockets. It is still a decent site to start a web page but there are a lot of better sites out there these days like…

www.multiply.com

So okay, this is actually a social networking site but you can't complain with their features. All you have to do is sign up (for free no less), and you can start making your web page right away. The best part about this site is you can edit the site using basic HTML coding and even CSS coding. Plus it has great features - photo albums, video archives, notes and blogs. I mean the big tasks were already done for you; all you have to do now is design it and fill it up with contents that you want.

www.blogspot.com

Well this is great for those who would want to make a web page for free for blogging purposes. Just like www.multiply.com, you can use HTML and CSS coding to further enhance your site. Well you can also post pictures and videos here but it is generally sought after for its blogging features.

www.friendster.com

Another social networking site, but they have recently added a feature quite similar to multiply and blog spot. It has the same features but unfortunately, this is not the site for those who enjoy tinkering with their HTML codes and CSS codes, because editing of HTML and CSS codes are not allowed in this site. But it still a good site for those who are just beginning and learning the ropes of making their own web page.
