All you need to know about building a website

Hello there, today we share steps to follow on Professional and Affordable Website Development. This includes building a website for your brand, a personal website, an author website.

Alright, let’s start;

1. Purchase a domain name

Do you know your house address? I bet you do. This illustration is very similar to a domain name. It is a name address that links to or identifies the IP address(es)of your blog, brand or whatever you want to use the website for. For example; this stringent of numbers 192.32.45.76 is difficult to be understood by humans every time before looking up your website. Therefore, it is linked to a domain name, let’s say flippingball.com. This makes it easier for human beings to understand. Think of what you want your domain name to be. It could be your first name and surname for a personal brand website. It could also be your brand’s name. When you are done, go ahead to purchase a domain name. You can purchase a domain name from a reliable domain registrar like namecheap.com. They have great support.

2. Get Web hosting

Web hosting can be likened to a house you lease. In leasing a house, you usually pay a certain agreed amount to the house owner to occupy the house for an agreed duration. It can be a monthly fee or yearly fee. This is completely similar to Web hosting. It is you leasing web server space or web hosting services from hosting companies. The space is where your information/data is saved. This makes your information visible and accessible on the web. It is just like a shop space you lease and display your goods for your target audience to see.

Choosing the right color for your brand

Some things to consider when purchasing a web hosting are;

– Support: How quick does the company respond when you have a problem with your hosting.

– Credibility of the company: You can know this by researching about the company. Check out their reviews. Basically, dig up information on them.

– SSL (Secure Socket Layer): This is for security. It protects important information e.g. card details of your clients.

3. Install a Content Management System

A content management system is a website building platform. There are different types of CMS such as WordPress, Drupal, Joomla etc. Pick the one you can use. However, you can give WordPress a shot. It is easy to use and comes with various free designs. Also, many webhosting companies provide WordPress installation. You just click to install. But, if your webhosting company does not offer such, you can install the CMS you want to use.
