Getting your first website can be a tedious task, especially when you’re a newbie. But don’t stress because, in this post, I will discuss five easy steps you need to take to get your website up and running quickly and easy.
Here are the five steps to consider:
Do Your Research
Many people shy away from the simple task of researching what their prospective website would look like. A quick hack is to look at different competitors’ websites to see what they are up to. This will give you an idea of the industry standard and how you want your website to look.
Choose a Domain and Host
Before you can start working on your web projects, you need to get a domain name (e.g., .com, .ca, .org) and web hosting. The domain name is what visitors type in their browsers to access your site, like ayorindematthew.com, and web hosting makes the website accessible online. These can be purchased from various hosting platforms like Hostinger, GoDaddy, Namecheap, Bluehost, etc. However, your domain name needs to accurately reflect your brand’s voice and resonate with your prospective customers.
Get Your Branding Ready
To speed up any design process, proper branding needs to be in place. Get a logo, know your typography, determine your brand colors, and get professional photos or stock photos. Ensure these items reflect your business style and speak to your brand voice.
Decide Between DIY or Hiring a Web Designer
With the development of various AI tools and applications, some business owners now have the luxury of building their own websites. If you like new adventures and want to get your hands dirty, DIY might be a viable option. However, if you’re looking for a more professional, customized website for your brand and want to focus on other areas of your business, you can invest in hiring a web designer based on your budget. Decide what works best for you.
Take Action
Most people who win in life are action-takers, which is why it’s important to get the ball rolling once you have a clear vision. With the above steps, you have a clear path to building your own website and getting it launched quickly. Remember, speed wins in business.
