How to Create Your Own Website 

Do you know that Millions of websites are created everyday. It’s easy and you can do it too in less than 20 minutes. let me show you how😘

Choose the Perfect Domain

First choosing a domain is one of the most important decisions you can make for your site. It’s the address for your site and the way people will remember your website.

While many of the best domains are taken, that doesn’t mean you won’t be able to find a perfect domain for your brand. 

When brainstorming good domain names, consider the following elements:

• Easy to say and spell. Potential visitors should be able to say your domain name out loud to someone without them having to ask twice how to spell or say it.
• Short and sweet. We recommend no more than 14 characters. You don’t want an overly long domain name that’s hard to remember and say.
• Go with .com, .org, or .net. While there are plenty of domain name systems out there, it’s best to stick with the tried-and-true. You want people to be able to remember it, after all.
• Use your name. A particularly great choice for a personal blog, website, or portfolio.
• Avoid numbers and hyphens. This just makes it look weird in the URL. Plus it makes it harder for people to say your URL to others

Get Web Hosting and Free Domain Registration With Hostinger

A website needs just two things to go live: A domain name and a web host.

You just came up with your domain name. Now it’s time to put it to use with a good web host.

I highly recommend you use Hostinger or Bluehost for your website’s host. They offer a fast and reliable web host. i.e

1. Register an account with Hostinger or Bluehost. You can use an email address, or signup via an existing Google, Facebook, or GitHub account. Whatever you choose, make it an email or account that you check regularly, as this is how Hostinger will communicate with you about any issues that come up.
2. Enter payment details. They accepts all major credit cards and a variety of online payment gateways, such as PayPal, GooglePay, and CoinGate.
3. Click “Submit”. Once you submit your payment, you have 30 days to try their risk-free. If you are not happy with your service, cancel within the first month for a refund.

Once your payment goes through, and you confirm your email address, you’ll be able to begin setting up your site.

Choose a website building platform

Your next step is to pick a platform that your website will be built on.

However, there are hundreds of different tools (and ways) to build a website. And the first mistake that most people often make is they pick the wrong platform to create their site.

If you choose a platform that isn’t good or flexible enough, you’ll need to start all over again with another platform. It’s doable, but not recommended (since it’s a waste of your time and money).

Build Your Website’s Architecture

If your website is a house, it’s currently an empty lot. It has a solid foundation and it’s connected to essential utilities—but it needs the walls and rooms.

To build those, you need to create web pages. These are documents on the internet that readers access through your website.

But you should think of them as the rooms of your house. These are the areas visitors will see and get to know you and your website.

While there are a lot of different types of web pages that exist, the most essential ones are:

• Homepage. This is the main page for your website. It’s what readers see first, so it’s very important.
• Contact page. This page shows how your users can contact you. This can be vitally important, depending on your business.
• About page. This page tells new visitors all about your website and/or business. Typically, businesses will put their “brand story” here about how they came to be.
• Online store. This is where your readers can purchase products and services from you. Again, can be vitally important depending on your business.
• Blog page. This page is where all of your blog posts go. If you plan on publishing articles for readers to read, this will be a very important part of your website taxonomy.

Creating pages on WordPress just takes a few clicks. You can try yours there.

Deploy Content for Your Website

What you ultimately choose to include in your website for content is entirely up to you.

However, there are two areas that we’ve found to be the most important when it comes to successful websites: design and content.

Congrats on creating your first website! Seriously, you should pat yourself on the back.
