Making a Website for My Channel

[TheIntegration555123]

Well I agree with what RandomMike said. You don't have a lot of subs. I wouldn't worry about a website until you grow your viewership some....a lot. If you know anything about setting up a website you would know it's a lot more work than just promoting on facebook or other social media because those sites are already established and have a following. It would actually take more effort trying to promote your website than just promoting your youtube alone. Just like everyone is trying to get their channel out there on youtube, everyone is creating a site and trying to get it out there. The only difference is that it costs money. It's not often that people are on google looking for different sites that they don't typically go on. And when people google search they often won't exceed the first page of search results. Your website could potentially be lost within the hundreds of thousands of webpages trying to be first page of results. If you're doing this on a free domain, go ahead but you may find all your efforts and hardwork futile. If you're paying for the domain name and everything I would just avoid this idea, save it for later. It's like paying for a billboard in a ghost town.

I agree with the harsh reality, but I don't think it's futile. I guess I didn't emphasize the learning experience in my last post. I just recently learned how to develop and design a website (and still learning), and I'm just applying my knowledge. And it's fun. It's like how I'm doing YouTube right now. It's a fun free hobby.

Of course, it will be awesome to use it for promotion, but if it fails, then it will at least be accessible for my subscribers. By the way, I wasn't planning on launching the site until a year or two from now. There's a lot of stuff to learn and add to the website.[DOUBLEPOST=1419704360,1419704009][/DOUBLEPOST]

This would really depend on what type languages you are comfortable coding in, all you need to do is use some kind of user agent that would detect the mobile device and would then redirect that device to the mobile version of your site.... or you could do it the lazy/cheat way and tell the website to resize to the browserz width dimensions in which case everything would be put in order from top to bottom and the user could just scroll through. sorry this is a bit sparse but i hope it helps.

Yeah, I did some google searching, and the code required php or something that's called htcaa? Unfortunately, I don't know those languages. However, I did find one that uses javascript. The code reads that if the screen size is smaller or equal to the typical mobile dimensions, then redirect it to the mobile site. I don't know how reliable that is since mobile devices vary in screen sizes, especially when phones are getting bigger. Thanks for the info though!
