An Easy, Step-by-Step Guide to create a website for Beginners
In this guide, I will not go through codes and you don’t need to hire web developers. You will just need consistency to succeed.
Step: 1
Choose domain name
Step: 2
Choose Platform
Step: 3
Design your website
As mentioned above, step required to make your website ready are
Step 1: Choose a domain name
Step 2: Choose website building platform
Step 3: Design your website
Step 1: Choose a domain name
Consider three points while choosing domain name.
- If it is business website, it is better if your domain matches to your company, for example, CompanyName.com
- If it is personal website or personal blog for yourself, then AnyName.com or yourname.com is always a great option
- Most of the best and most unique domain names were bought up already. So go with something that matches your website.
Most common domains world wide are .com, .net, and .org. If your visitors are globally then these domain extensions are most common.
However, if your goal is to target local customers in your country, for example local extension for UK is .co.uk, Canada is .ca, or Germany is .de. Probably the best cheapest place to find available domain is Domain.com, where you get them.
Step 2: Choose website building platform
Your next step is to pick a platform on which your website will be built in. This step is critical and most decisive step. If you made a mistake here and picked the wrong platform and picked the wrong platform to build the website, you will need to start all over again with another platform.
Have a look at the following graph.
Here W3Techs notes that 33.1% of websites do not use any of the content management systems While 64.2% of websites are using any platform (CMS: Content Management System). Out of 64.2% all website, 43% of website are made on WordPress.
Because purpose of this article is to guide you, how to make website very quickly and without the prior knowledge of coding, therefore I will mainly focus on WordPress.
Step 3: Design and build your website
This is the main exciting part to give is a practical shape. Let me out line this before I go into further details.
- Choose webhosting service
- Choose a hosting plan and create an account
- Set your domain name / website name
- Install WordPress
- Start customizing your WordPress site
- Select your WordPress theme
- Customize the design of your website
1. Webhosting of your choice
You can choose webhosting service of your choice which offers you wordpress installation for free. In my case I will recommend Hostinger because it not only offers best service with wordpress and also load time is minimum possible. Furthermore, the important cost factor which poeople normally ignore is renewal cost. Because once you have purchased the domain and launched your website on any webhosting service, you have to keep in mind there will be renewal cost for both domain as well as for hosting service. If you buy it for one year and you repay next year and so on. In this case hostinger is cheaper than others.
Why hostinger is my recommendation?
- Cheaper initial cost
- cheaper renewal cost (important)
- wordpress installation free
But you can do your own research by considering the above factors.
Here you can see different plans of hostinger with wordpress, WordPress Hosting | Fast Loading & Developer Friendly (hostinger.com)
From above link, or any other hosting provider you can choose a hosting plan, payment method and create an account. Next you can either search available of domain here as well, or if you already have purchased that as above explained, you can continue with that as well.
Install wordpress
select the purpose of website
Select theme of your choice, there are many themes in the market depending on the nich of website. I will have some theme recomendations. I will update here.
With this your website is ready and you can keep customizing it day by day to give it a look of your interest.
