Introduction
Website building, whether you’re a professional blogger, an artist looking to start an online portfolio, or a small business owner looking to promote your brand, having a website is crucial. Sites can be simple or elaborate, depending on what type of information you want to share and who you’re trying to reach with it. However, whatever your goals are for publishing content on the web, there are some basic steps that every website needs in order to function properly:
Theme and Content
In order to create a successful website, you need to have a clear understanding of what makes up your site’s structure. This includes:
- The page hierarchy (or how the pages in your site relate to one another)
- How users interact with each page (and where they go when they click on different areas of the page)
- Content templates that can be used across multiple pages within the website
Create a Website using WordPress
WordPress is a free and open source content management system. It powers over 60 million websites. WordPress has an easy-to-use interface, so you don’t need to be a programmer to get started with the CMS (content management system).
WordPress can be installed on your own server or you can use a hosting provider to host it for you.
Domain Hosting
Domain hosting is a service that allows you to buy a domain name and host it on a server.
It’s an important part of building a website, as it lets people find your site by typing in the domain name (for example: “www.example-domain.com“).
You can buy domain hosting from your web designer or from a third party provider. If you choose to go with a third party provider, they’ll provide you with all sorts of additional features like email addresses, storage space and more!
Domain hosting is usually done on a monthly basis and has an average cost of £20-55 per month
The key to a successful website is structure.
The key to a successful website is structure. The content on the site is king. But without proper structure it will be difficult for the user to navigate your site and find what they need. Structure can come in many forms:
- A logical order of information (first name last name)
- Numbered or bulleted points with descriptive titles
- A table of contents that allows users to quickly and easily jump from section to section
Conclusion
Websites are the lifeblood of any business, and they can be a powerful tool for marketing your brand. The important thing is to make sure that your site is easy to navigate, looks professional and has enough content. So that people will want to stay there long enough to read everything at their own pace. If you want more information about how we can help with this process then please contact us today.
