If you're a kid and you want to have a website, don't give up on that dream. Many kids already have websites that are free and easy to make. Here are some suggested ways to make your own.

Method 1

Method 1 of 2:

Using Bravenet

1
Choose a site host. For simplicity's sake, try using http://www.bravenet.com/. This site has lots of easy-to-use web tools to get you started.
2
Make an account. An adult should help you with this, especially reading the terms and conditions and agreeing to these. Once it is created, log in (and keep your password very safe).

3
Click the "websites" tab that is running along the top. Click next on "build a website". Be sure to check the sub domain so that you don't have to pay.
4
Enter the title of your web page. Make it a good name now, because you can't change it later. Next, press "create".
5
Click "web templates". This will help you build your site easily and efficiently. Press browse gallery and pick a design you like.
- Tip: while looking through, add any possibilities to your favorites then decide from here.
6
Click "Text/Visual Editor". Then go to the visual editor and right click on your page name. Press edit with visual editor. Next, make all the changes you want to your site.
7
Save your site. Now tell all your friends about it!

Method 2

Method 2 of 2:

Using Weebly

1
Go to Weebly.com.
2
Put your full name in full name part. Make a secure password and keep it that way. Add any other details needed.
- Be sure to have an adult help you with this part, including reading all the terms and conditions, and agreeing to these.
- If you want to create a website for free or on a tight budget, you can use free tools from Wix, wordpress.com, or Weebly. They are good enough to get you started.
- They are free and easy to set up and use.
- You can upgrade the services and make them more professional at a small cost.
3
Upgrade if needed. A parent or guardian will need to agree to this and make any necessary payment. In which case, it stops being free, so be careful about this.
4
Start to customize your website. Follow the site prompts for making your first page. Use Weebly's FAQs if you're not sure what the elements do.
5
Publish your website. And tell all of your friends about it by sending them a link.

Every time I try to sign up, it tells me my username is taken. I put the weirdest words in there, yet it's still taken. Why, and how do I fix it?

A lot of people have made accounts and used up a lot of usernames! Try putting together two or three words, or adding a few numbers at the end of the username.

Question

How do I make a website to sell stuff?

Community Answer

You must ask your parents or legal guardian first in order to make a shopping website. Creating a shopping website is something you'll have to do with a trusted adult's permission. In order to receive the money, you'll have to use you or your parent's or legal guardian's bank account. With your parents, you can use already established store sites like, eBay, Etsy, Amazon, etc. to sell your items.
