How to Build a Website:
Build a website using web templates. Building your own website will require three things. You will need a domain name, a web hosting package and webpages or a website template. The steps on this page show you how to build a personal, business or corporate website for any type of product or service. If this is your first website, Allwebco provides everything you need in one step to build your website when you order a web template and choose to order it with hosting. You can do this by browsing the templates on our website.
 Choose a Domain Name:
You can order everything you need at one time, domain, hosting and a website template by browsing through our web template selection. Choose a template design, click the "order" button, choose to "order with hosting" then select your ordering options. This will give you everything you need to build your website including our free submission to Google, Yahoo!, Bing, and all other major search engines (included free with any hosting package). Or, you may want to search for an available domain name first. Once you have found an available domain you can register it on our website.
 Order Web Hosting:
Once you have chosen an available domain name, you'll want to order a web hosting package to build your web site. You can go to our hosting order page and select the amount of web space you need. Selecting reliable server space is vital to any business. If clients can't open your website, you could be losing business. With Allwebco your site will be built on the same quality web servers that we host our own websites on. To order a web template, domain and hosting all at once to build your website, see step #1.
 Using Web Templates:
Once you have a domain name and hosting space, you'll need some webpages to put online. You can learn HTML coding, purchase software and build your own web pages from scratch, or you can select a pre-built Allwebco website template and build your website by following the included step-by-step instructions. Our web template support area includes hundreds of how-to pages covering every topic you will need to build your website using website templates.
Allwebco provides web templates to hundreds of professional developers each month for all types of website projects.
Optionally, if you like one of our web template designs, you can have your web template setup by a professional website developer. Allwebco provides web templates to hundreds of professional developers each month for all types of website projects.

Web Template Options: If you are selling products on-line you'll need a shopping cart. Most Allwebco web templates include Paypal or 2CO shopping carts built-in. This shopping cart is free to setup and is really about as easy and inexpensive as ecommerce setups get. Here are some other options when building your website using web templates.
See our web template features page for details and options on what is included and built-into Allwebco web templates.
- Paypal Shopping Cart: This cart is free and very easy to set up. You can sell unlimited products from your website. This is the payment credit card processor option of choice at ebay and is "built-in" to most Allwebco web templates.
- 2CO Shopping Cart: This cart is inexpensive and very easy to set up. You can sell unlimited products from your website. This cart is "built-in" to some Allwebco iCart web templates.
- Other Shopping Cart Systems: While any shopping cart application can be integrated into an Allwebco web template, the web template department is only supporting the Paypal and 2CO carts at this time due to the ease of setup and the free or low cost integration.
- Adding Other Options: Almost any type of application or script can be added to any Allwebco web template because they are built in basic HTML. We also have a section in our support area that features free scripts and add-ons.
- Allwebco Web Template Menus: The menus used on all Allwebco web templates are basic text that you can edit using Notepad or any plain text editor when building your website. You can add and remove pages and items on the menu as you need. The step by step instructions cover this editing in detail and more details can also be viewed in our support center on the following pages: Menu Editing Details and Editing Drop Menus.
- About the Flash: Our website templates include both Flash detection to display alternate content in non-Flash browsers, as well as no-Flash options and webpages in the download. With Allwebco web templates, the template logo and all text displayed in the Flash animation is controlled by one file called flash.txt. This file can be easily edited with any text editor to add your company name, slogan and phrases. Flash software is not required for editing. Additionally... all Allwebco web templates include a graphic logo option. You can rename one file and then add your graphic logo to the pre-defined logo image. You do not need to use the included Flash header on your website.
 Search Engine Promotion and Keywords:
All Allwebco hosting packages include submitting your site to 400+ search engines for no additional charge. You will also find in our template support center comprehensive page optimization help as well as meta tag editing information, XML site map help, robots.txt info, and in-depth search engine submission help to help build your website.

What Are HTML Web Templates?
An HTML web template may be built using basic HTML or XHTML and usually will include both CSS and some Javascript. PHP and ASP web templates, in most cases, will be built using either HTML or XHTML code. HTML 4.01 is currently the most popular version of HTML, however any site can be built using any version of HTML. HTML5 code is currently being developed, however, at this time HTML5 is not fully supported in all browsers and still lacks many of the features that can be found in HTML 4.01 code. Allwebco templates are created with HTML 4.01 code for the highest browser compatibility. See also what are website templates.
How HTML Works
HTML code is used to allow a plain text file to display as a formatted website with a body of text, images, scripts, animation, site forms plus many other site elements. HTML is the most common language used by web browser software to dynamically format and display website pages.
HTML stands for "HyperText Markup Language". It is a set of "tags" and code that can be built-in to plain text files to display custom typefaces, .jpg .png and .gif images, and hyperlinks to other website documents. HTML code will allow for text, images and objects to be embedded on a website and can also be used to create interactive forms. Webpage objects can be embedded using HTML specific tags, CSS and Javascript tags like the "embed" or "object" tag and others. The page you are reading now is built using HTML code. HTML is not a compiled program, it is instead plain text. This is what allows for the flexibility in an HTML website template.
Allwebco website templates are built using basic HTML code. To view an example; click here to view a Garden template example. For more info on HTML and website building see HTML at Wikipedia or World Wide Web Consortium (W3C)
Understanding Web Template CSS Code
CSS "style" files are a separate file from the HTML webpage code. These files are used to define website colors, font face and sizes, widths and heights of the webpages and web elements for all the web template webpages globally. All Allwebco web templates will include 1 or more CSS files. Web templates with drop menus will include 2 CSS files, including a separate CSS style file for the menu colors and font face and sizes. Allwebco color change web templates will include multiple CSS files for all the different colors themes included in the website template, however, only 1 or 2 CSS files will be used at one time depending on how you have set the colors. Allwebco offers more than 25 color theme templates. You can search our website for "multi-color" to view all the available color theme webpage templates.
What is a Domain Name?
A domain name is basically an easy to use shortcut to a web site address. Without a domain name you'd have to go to a web site by typing an IP (Internet Protocol) or server address, for example: "http://209.204.204.248". With a domain name, it's much easier to remember how to get to a web site, you can then use the site or business name for example: http://allwebco.com. A domain name is most often a company name or something relevant to what the site is about, but as demonstrated by Google.com and Amazon.com, it can be pretty much anything. Domain names can be up to 67 characters in length, and can only contain alpha-numeric characters and no characters such as the "&" or "<" symbols. To read more about domain names, check our getting started with web hosting help page. Or you can search for and order your domain name.
What is Web Hosting?
Allwebco offers business class web hosting for any type of website. Web hosting is a service that allows you to have your web site available on the internet 24/7 for visitors to view. In order to make that happen, you have to have a copy of your web site on a web server that's connected to the internet at all times. With 24/7 cable/fiber optic home internet connections being so common now, that might not sound like a difficult task at first, but there are many challenges involved in keeping any computer running 24/7 without interruption. Failed or failing parts of the server must be maintained and repaired, while still being up and running. Multiple and redundant commercial connections to the internet need to be setup (Allwebco servers are located right on the backbone of the internet) with the capacity for huge amounts of bandwidth at all times. Backup generators need to be in place in case of power failures, 24/7 security, 24/7 technicians to handle repairs/maintenance, and a strictly controlled environment that's cool and free of dust and other contaminates. All these features are included with every Allwebco web hosting package.
Professional Design
Because Allwebco web templates are complete sites built in basic HTML code, our designs can be used for any website project, personal or business. All menus are plain text global files so new menu items can be added and removed as your project requires. Mobile and smartphone optimization is setup in all designs for optimal viewing on all mobile devices, smartphones, tablets, laptops as well as PC and Mac computers. Flash detection for mobile is built-in to display alternate content in non-Flash web browsers. Used by professional developers, as well as novice web designers, Allwebco website templates are your best choice for building new, or updating any existing website.
