The Development of Your Website Is the Most Important Part of Your Online Business. Here's How To Do It Right!

Developing a website for your new business can be intimidating, but it doesn't need to be difficult. We'll walk you through the process step by step so that you can create a professional site in no time!

Choose a Domain Name That Works For You.

A domain name is the address of your website. It should be short, easy to spell, and memorable. If you choose a domain name that isn't available, you might end up with a subdomain instead. This means that people will see your URL as www.yourwebsite.com/subdomain rather than www.yourwebsitename.com.

Set up a Hosting Account.

Once you've chosen a domain name, you need to set up hosting so that your site can be accessed by others. There are two main options: shared hosting and dedicated hosting. Shared hosting allows multiple websites to share one server. Dedicated hosting gives you complete control over your own server.

Install WordPress or another CMS.

If you choose to use a CMS (content management system), you will need to install it on your web host. This process varies based on what type of CMS you select. We recommend using WordPress as it is easy to use and has a large community of users who can help you with any issues you encounter.

Create a Blog Post Template.

Once you have installed WordPress, you should create a blog post template. A blog post template is simply a file that contains HTML code that tells WordPress how to display each individual blog post. In other words, when you write a new blog post, WordPress automatically displays it in the same format as every other blog post you've written before.

Add Images and Videos.

If you're looking to add images and videos to your site, there are several ways to do so. One option is to use free image hosting sites such as Flickr, Picasa Web Albums, SmugMug, and Photobucket. Another option is to upload your own photos and videos directly to your site using FTP software.
