Steps To Create A Wonderful Website

You want to create a website, but you find the whole prospect intimidating. You don’t have any coding skills or experience with graphic design. You have no idea where to even start. For many people creating a website for the first time, a graphic designer is cost prohibitive. But that doesn’t need to stop you you don’t have to hire someone to create a website for you. You can build one yourself. You can now find numerous tools and tutorials available that provide all you need to create a high-quality site in minimal time even if you have no coding skills. 



If you have a business, creating a website is important to reach your target customers, and increase your visibility online. It provides your brand legitimacy. Consumers are more likely to trust that a business with a website is the real deal. And a website gives you a chance to present your brand the way you want people to see it. 




Things You Need In Order to Build a Website


Choose a Domain Name


In order to build a website, the very first thing you’ll need is a domain name. The domain name is your website name and address. That address is used by visitors when they try to find your site through their web browsers. Domain names can cost anywhere from $10 to $50 a year. The usual price tag is around $15.


If you haven’t registered or chosen a domain name for your website, here are some tips to help you out:


If you’re making a website for a business, your domain name should match your company name. For example: YourCompanyName.com


If you’re planning to set up a personal website for yourself then YourName.com can be a great option.


Use a generic domain name extension such as .com, .net and .org if your goal is international or US visitors. Use local domain name extension such as .de, .r or .ru if your goal is country-targeted visitors.



Sign Up for Web Hosting Account


In addition to having a domain name, you’ll also need website hosting (web hosting). Web hosting is a service that hosts and stores your website files (content) on a secure server that is always up and running. Without a web host, your site will not be accessible for others to read and browse. Affordable and reliable web hosting for new websites costs usually between $3 to $10 a month. Less than a cup of coffee, but an important investment for your website’s success. Whichever web hosting company you sign up with, make sure it has the following features:


FREE domain name with SSL for security


One-click-install for WordPress


Custom email accounts


Unlimited or unmetered bandwidth


Customer support, preferably 24/7 live chat


If you find a website hosting that offers all of the things above, you’ve likely found a good provider.



Set Up WordPress Website



Once you have your domain name and web hosting ready to go, you’ll need to choose and install a website building platform. WordPress is easy to use and comes with thousands of free designs and add-ons that make your website look professional and unique.





Essential Website Pages


Which and how many pages to include on your site will depend on what you need your site to accomplish. But most will have at least the following:


Homepage. This is the first page your visitors will see, so you want it to represent your brand effectively. A good homepage will typically be simple, concise, and immediately tell your visitors what your site is about.



About page. Your about page is your chance to establish a relationship with your visitors. It’s frequently one of the most popular pages on a site, so spend time creating quality copy that draws your readers in, tells them what you’re about, speaks directly to their needs, and communicates how you’re uniquely qualified to solve them.



Services/product page. If you have a business site, pages that outline the specific services you provide or products you sell will be an important part of your website. Use these pages to make the case for the benefits your products or services provide to your audience. And design them with conversion in mind—make it easy for visitors to take the next step, whether that’s adding an item to their shopping cart or setting up a phone call to learn more. 



Contact page. For business sites and some personal sites, you’ll want to make it easy for visitors to contact you. Put the contact information they should use on an easy-to-find page on the site.



Blog page. A blog is often a valuable addition to a website. If your website will be primarily content based, a blog is a natural space to publish new content as you go. If you have a business site, a blog can be a useful marketing tool to improve SEO and attract more visitors. A blog does take a lot of work to maintain, so it may not be right for you. But take time upfront to consider whether you want to include a blog in your website from the start, or if you may want to add one later.



Keep in mind that most website building software will take care of the basic website layout for you. Once you select a theme or a template, this will form the foundation for the rest of your site. However, by knowing what other pages you want to add and what site elements you’ll want to include, you’ll be able to speed up the process of getting your website into place once you start building.
