  2. 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. 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. Follow the site prompts for making your first page. Use Weebly's FAQs if you're not sure what the elements do.
  5. 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?
    Community Answer
    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.
