Yes it is, since a website is just a piece of code that is put into a file, loaded onto a server and given a name. So, if you have a notepad type of word processor on your tablet device then you can create a website.

Finding the writing tool for your HTML code

You should grab some sort of notepad word processor. A simple one will suffice, although there are programming apps out there. There are programming apps that will allow you to write code on them, and then it will help you to compile and debug the code too.

Using your HTML programming skills

Whether you have your fancy program writing tool, or you have a good old fashioned notepad, you may begin writing your HTML code. This is where your programming skills come into play. Once you have finished your page then you should save it as an htm file.

Previewing your HTML code elements

If you would like to see a preview of your current code, then you may use a HTML preview app. There are lots of these tools on websites. You may access one via your tablet web browser if you wish. Or, you could download an app that will do it for you.

Testing your HTML code

You may test elements of your HTML code via the preview apps. It will show you if buttons work of if widgets appear. You can test each element individually so that you get it perfect before moving on to testing the whole page at once.

Preview your whole web page

All you need to do is load the code for the page into the HTML previewing app. This will show you the whole page in its glory. You may see how each of your elements fits together, and you may see if your code actually works and does what you thought it would.

Debugging your pages with the HTML preview

Now that you have a preview of your page, it is time to start testing the various elements to see if they work correctly. You will also need to alter to the code and re-preview to be sure that the page is acting a certain way for the right reason.

An app to test dynamic websites

You then need an app that is going to help you test to see if your web page is dynamic. You should have programmed the web page to adapt to whatever browser it is being viewed by. There are apps that will let you test this coding. The will show you what the web page looks like on a phone, tablet and desktop computer. This will help to show you if your dynamic website worked.

Test the page with different browsers

You also want to know what the website looks when it is viewed through varying browsers. Knowing this will help you to decide if the website is stable and compatible with others. There are also apps that will allow you to test this browser problem, as there are also websites that will help you with this problem too.

Buy a domain name for your website

Now that you have your page file, you need to go and buy a domain. You do not need to download an app for this. Use the web browser on your Android, find a site that allows you to purchase a name, and then buy on.

Now you need to find a hosting service

Again, you can do this with your web browser. You do not need an app. Pick a hosting service and buy your web space and bandwidth. They should also offer you tools for loading your site and your domain name onto their server. If you are not sure of the process then make sure you buy from a host that will walk you through it.

And there you have it

You should be able to put your website online. You will also be able to use a similar process to build further pages onto your website, except that you will not have to purchase a domain name or hosting services. Just make sure to check your site for bugs after you have uploaded it.
