For example: mygreatwebsite.com.</p> <p><strong>URL</strong>: includes the domain name and any subpages. For example: https://mygreatwebsite.com/about</p> <p><strong>CMS</strong>: short for Content Management System. A website building platform that you can use to create, upload and publish your website. For example: WordPress and Joomla.</p> <p><strong>Website Builder</strong>: a <a href="https://www.tooltester.com/en/blog/what-is-a-website-builder/">simplified version of a CMS</a>, usually for smaller websites. It allows easy website editing and offers predefined designs for you to choose from. It also serves as your web hosting provider. Examples: Wix and Squarespace.</p> <p><strong>Web hosting provider</strong>: a place to which you can upload your website, so other people can view it. Examples: Bluehost and Siteground.</p> <p><strong>Responsive web design</strong>: there are many different screen sizes these days (desktop computers, smartphones etc.). Responsive website templates adapt to the screen automatically and rearrange the content, so it’s readable without any issues.</p> <p><strong>Website template</strong>: website builders come with pre-designed website themes and page templates. You pick the one that’s closest to your idea or industry and adapt it to your liking (e.g. by changing images, texts, headlines etc.) when building your website.</p> <p><strong>SEO</strong>: short for Search Engine Optimization. If done right, your website will rank at the top of <a href="https://www.tooltester.com/en/blog/search-engine-market-share/">search engines like Google</a> for relevant search terms. This will attract organic website visitors, which, opposed to paid traffic (e.g. via Google Ads), is completely free.</p> <p></div></div></div> <h2 id="type-of-website"><span class="ez-toc-section" id="1_Identify_the_type_of_website_you_want_to_create"></span>1. Identify the type of website you want to create<span class="ez-toc-section-end"></span></h2> <p>Websites come in all shapes and sizes. Here are the most common ones:</p> <h3>Type 1: Very small websites</h3> <p>An example of a very small website would be an <a href="https://www.tooltester.com/en/blog/how-to-make-an-online-portfolio/">online portfolio</a> (<a href="https://www.tooltester.com/en/blog/portfolio-examples/">find some examples here</a>) or resume. These are typically used by copywriters, translators, or illustrators to showcase their work, contact information and an ‘about us’ page.</p> <p>Usually these websites have around <strong>seven pages or less</strong>. It could even be a <a href="https://www.tooltester.com/en/blog/best-one-page-website-builder/"><em>one-pager</em> website</a>, where you display all the information on a single page.</p> <p style="text-align: center;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-92963 size-large" src="https://www.tooltester.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/online-portfolio-1024x574.png" alt="online portfolio" width="1024" height="574" srcset="https://www.tooltester.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/online-portfolio-1024x574.png 1024w, https://www.tooltester.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/online-portfolio-300x168.png 300w, https://www.tooltester.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/online-portfolio-768x431.png 768w, https://www.tooltester.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/online-portfolio-1200x673.png 1200w, https://www.tooltester.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/online-portfolio.png 1400w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><br /> <em>Online Portfolio template by Wix (‘Creative CV’)</em></p> <p>This type of website <strong>doesn’t get updated much and is mostly static</strong>. You create it once, make sure everything works as it should, test the mobile version and then let it sit there. Traffic comes mostly from people directly typing in the URL or from local directories like Google Maps.</p> <p><strong>Time required</strong>: Setting up such a small website usually doesn’t take very long: <strong>a weekend</strong> should be enough for a decent-enough first version.</p> <p><strong>Ideal ways to create it</strong>: a website builder like <a href="https://www.tooltester.com/en/reviews/wix-review/">Wix</a>. For cheaper, slightly less powerful options, you can also check out <a href="https://www.tooltester.com/en/reviews/webnode-review/">Webnode</a> and <a href="https://www.tooltester.com/en/reviews/strikingly/">Strikingly</a>.</p> <h3>Type 2: Blogs</h3> <p>If you like to share your thoughts frequently, you can also <a href="https://www.tooltester.com/en/blog/how-to-start-a-successful-blog/">start a blog</a>.

Decide on a platform and budget to build your website<span class="ez-toc-section-end"></span></h2> <p>After having identified the type of website you now have a clearer idea of the size of the project.</p> <p>Let’s go over the most popular ways to start a professional website. There are many solutions, including <a href="https://www.tooltester.com/en/blog/website-builder-vs-coding/">website builders vs coding</a>. Some are more flexible than others, and some are more complex.</p> <h3>Option 1: Setting up a website with a website builder</h3> <p>Let’s start with the <strong>easiest option</strong>: a <a href="https://www.tooltester.com/en/best-website-builder/">website builder</a>. This is an “all-inclusive” package, so to speak: A single platform will usually provide the following:</p> <ul> <li>The template design</li> <li>Drag and drop web editor</li> <li>Web hosting</li> <li>Domain name</li> <li>Email address</li> <li>Customer support</li> </ul> <p>This isn’t only useful for beginners: it simply depends on the project. The good news is also that almost all site builders let you create a <a href="https://www.tooltester.com/en/blog/best-free-website-builders/">free basic website</a> on a subdomain (e.g. yourname.sitebuildername.com). While I wouldn’t recommend using a <em>free</em> website professionally (since it’s ad-supported), it’s a perfect way to try it in detail before deciding if the cost is worth it.</p> <div class="callout">Tip: For a simpler way to design your website, consider <a href="https://www.tooltester.com/en/blog/ai-website-builder/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">AI Website Builders</a>. These tools generate custom websites with minimal input, streamlining your site’s creation. While they may not offer extensive customization, their efficiency often suffices for a swift launch.</div> <p>However, if you want to take your business online, you should consider a paid plan. Prices start at around $8/month, but it includes all the essentials. Add around $1-6/month on top if you need a <a href="#email">professional email address</a> for your business website.</p> <p>Let’s make this more concrete, though. This is how much you’d pay for an ad-free website with your own domain name:</p> <p><a href="https://www.tooltester.com/en/reviews/wix-review/">Wix</a>: $17/month (Light plan)</p> <p><a href="https://www.tooltester.com/en/reviews/squarespace-review/">Squarespace</a>: $16/month (Personal plan)</p> <p><a href="https://www.tooltester.com/en/reviews/hostinger-website-builder-review/">Hostinger Website Builder</a>: $9.99/month (Website plan) – price goes up after your first payment term.</p> <p>To better understand exactly how it works, please watch our step-by-step tutorial for website creation!</p> <div class="embed-responsive embed-responsive-16by9"> <div class="youtube embed-responsive-item" data-embed="FXNSB-XmtLY"> <div class="play-button"><svg class="icon icon-play"><use xlink:href="#play"></use></svg></div> <div><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" alt="How to Create a Website?

Even though they essentially work in a similar way as a website builder, they are<strong> more difficult to use.</strong></p> <p>That is because they are prepared to accommodate huge website projects (e.g. Typo3, Joomla! or Drupal). A typical user would be a larger enterprise, creating hundreds of pages while having a dedicated tech team working on the website.</p> <p>Fortunately, there’s also one more CMS, which is much more accessible: <strong>WordPress</strong>. Thanks to hosting companies that offer a <em>one-click installation</em>, it’s not quite as difficult to set up.

Go to <a href="https://www.tooltester.com/out/dreamhost" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dreamhost</a> and select the Shared Starter hosting plan. The longer you commit, the cheaper it gets. Generally, I would recommend going for the 1-Year option since the saving compared to Monthly is significant.</p> <p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-120828" src="https://www.tooltester.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/dreamhost-sign-up.png" alt="dreamhost sign up" width="1400" height="1379" srcset="https://www.tooltester.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/dreamhost-sign-up.png 1400w, https://www.tooltester.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/dreamhost-sign-up-300x296.png 300w, https://www.tooltester.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/dreamhost-sign-up-1024x1009.png 1024w, https://www.tooltester.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/dreamhost-sign-up-768x756.png 768w, https://www.tooltester.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/dreamhost-sign-up-1200x1182.png 1200w, https://www.tooltester.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/dreamhost-sign-up-183x180.png 183w, https://www.tooltester.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/dreamhost-sign-up-508x500.png 508w, https://www.tooltester.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/dreamhost-sign-up-450x443.png 450w, https://www.tooltester.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/dreamhost-sign-up-780x768.png 780w" sizes="(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px" /></p> <p>2. Time to take care of your domain name. If you don’t have a domain name yet, you can now register one by clicking “Register a new domain”. If you already have a domain name, you can connect it to Dreamhost. Or you can skip this step if you haven’t decided on a domain name yet.</p> <p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-120835" src="https://www.tooltester.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/dreamhost-domain.png" alt="dreamhost domain" width="1024" height="525" srcset="https://www.tooltester.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/dreamhost-domain.png 1024w, https://www.tooltester.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/dreamhost-domain-300x154.png 300w, https://www.tooltester.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/dreamhost-domain-768x394.png 768w, https://www.tooltester.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/dreamhost-domain-975x500.png 975w, https://www.tooltester.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/dreamhost-domain-450x231.png 450w, https://www.tooltester.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/dreamhost-domain-780x400.png 780w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></p> <p>3. Now you are ready to check out. I would recommend deselecting the extra services unless you are sure you need them. You can always add them at a later moment.</p> <p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-120842" src="https://www.tooltester.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/dreamhost-checkout.png" alt="dreamhost checkout" width="1024" height="678" srcset="https://www.tooltester.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/dreamhost-checkout.png 1024w, https://www.tooltester.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/dreamhost-checkout-300x199.png 300w, https://www.tooltester.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/dreamhost-checkout-768x509.png 768w, https://www.tooltester.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/dreamhost-checkout-272x180.png 272w, https://www.tooltester.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/dreamhost-checkout-755x500.png 755w, https://www.tooltester.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/dreamhost-checkout-450x298.png 450w, https://www.tooltester.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/dreamhost-checkout-780x516.png 780w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></p> <p>4. Create an account password</p> <p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-120849" src="https://www.tooltester.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/dreamhost-create-pw.png" alt="dreamhost create password" width="900" height="607" srcset="https://www.tooltester.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/dreamhost-create-pw.png 900w, https://www.tooltester.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/dreamhost-create-pw-300x202.png 300w, https://www.tooltester.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/dreamhost-create-pw-768x518.png 768w, https://www.tooltester.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/dreamhost-create-pw-267x180.png 267w, https://www.tooltester.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/dreamhost-create-pw-741x500.png 741w, https://www.tooltester.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/dreamhost-create-pw-450x304.png 450w, https://www.tooltester.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/dreamhost-create-pw-780x526.png 780w" sizes="(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px" /></p> <p>5. Your web hosting account is ready to use. Let’s now create a WordPress website by clicking on “Install WordPress Now”. This will take a few minutes.</p> <p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-120856" src="https://www.tooltester.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/dreamhost-backend.png" alt="dreamhost backend" width="1400" height="812" srcset="https://www.tooltester.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/dreamhost-backend.png 1400w, https://www.tooltester.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/dreamhost-backend-300x174.png 300w, https://www.tooltester.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/dreamhost-backend-1024x594.png 1024w, https://www.tooltester.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/dreamhost-backend-768x445.png 768w, https://www.tooltester.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/dreamhost-backend-1200x696.png 1200w, https://www.tooltester.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/dreamhost-backend-862x500.png 862w, https://www.tooltester.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/dreamhost-backend-450x261.png 450w, https://www.tooltester.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/dreamhost-backend-780x452.png 780w" sizes="(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px" /></p> <p>6. Once the installation is complete, click “Open WordPress Editor” and you’ll be taken straight to the WordPress Backend.</p> <p>Your website is now already live on the web. To see what it looks like, click on “Visit Site”.</p> <p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-120863" src="https://www.tooltester.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/dreamhost-wordpress-account.png" alt="dreamhost-wordpress-account" width="1024" height="552" srcset="https://www.tooltester.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/dreamhost-wordpress-account.png 1024w, https://www.tooltester.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/dreamhost-wordpress-account-300x162.png 300w, https://www.tooltester.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/dreamhost-wordpress-account-768x414.png 768w, https://www.tooltester.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/dreamhost-wordpress-account-928x500.png 928w, https://www.tooltester.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/dreamhost-wordpress-account-450x243.png 450w, https://www.tooltester.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/dreamhost-wordpress-account-780x420.png 780w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></p> <p>7. The next step is to install a new theme for your website. Go to Appearance > Themes. There are already a few interesting themes pre-installed, but you can also get a new one via the “Add New” button. Each theme will have different customization options.</p> <p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-120870" src="https://www.tooltester.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/dreamhost-wp-themes.png" alt="dreamhost wp themes" width="1024" height="572" srcset="https://www.tooltester.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/dreamhost-wp-themes.png 1024w, https://www.tooltester.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/dreamhost-wp-themes-300x168.png 300w, https://www.tooltester.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/dreamhost-wp-themes-768x429.png 768w, https://www.tooltester.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/dreamhost-wp-themes-895x500.png 895w, https://www.tooltester.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/dreamhost-wp-themes-450x251.png 450w, https://www.tooltester.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/dreamhost-wp-themes-780x436.png 780w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></p> <p>8. Finally, I would recommend taking a look at your plugins. Dreamhost has already installed quite a few plugins.</p> <p>Note that the ones that say “Activate” are not active and can also be removed if you don’t need them. I would recommend you to use an SEO plugin like All in One SEO, which is already installed. Optinmonster, Jetpack and Hello Dolly can be deleted unless you really want to use them.</p> <p><strong>My last tip</strong>: you need to update WordPress and your Plugins regularly. Otherwise, your website can become insecure. Try to do that <strong>at least every two months</strong>. You can see when an update is available when there is a warning in yellow (see Akismet below).</p> <p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-120877" src="https://www.tooltester.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/wordpress-plugins.png" alt="wordpress plugins" width="1024" height="712" srcset="https://www.tooltester.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/wordpress-plugins.png 1024w, https://www.tooltester.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/wordpress-plugins-300x209.png 300w, https://www.tooltester.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/wordpress-plugins-768x534.png 768w, https://www.tooltester.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/wordpress-plugins-259x180.png 259w, https://www.tooltester.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/wordpress-plugins-719x500.png 719w, https://www.tooltester.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/wordpress-plugins-450x313.png 450w, https://www.tooltester.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/wordpress-plugins-780x542.png 780w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></p> <p>All the best for your new WordPress website!</p> <p></div></div></div> <p><strong>WordPress Themes</strong></p> <p>To get a customized layout for your use case, you’ll need to install a <strong>WordPress theme</strong> that matches your vision. Usually, you’ll find a few basic themes when you first log into your new WordPress site.</p> <p>Fortunately you can find an enormous variety of specific themes for all sorts of industries that can be adjusted and customized. Cheaper themes are available on Themeforest, for example. To increase the chances your theme will be supported for years into the future, it’s important to check its ratings and that the number of sales isn’t too low.</p> <p>Then there are also premium theme providers such as <a href="https://www.tooltester.com/out/astra">Astra</a>. They provide a basic free version (mainly to test) as well as premium plans that include customer support and integrations with page builders such as Elementor.</p> <p><strong>Keep in mind</strong>: customizing a WordPress theme can be quite a bit of work. If there is something you don’t like, you’ll often have to modify the CSS or HTML (you or a programmer).</p> <p>The hosting, domain name, email address, installation and level of support you choose will depend on how much you want to spend and your technical knowledge. It can be<strong> quite cheap if you do it yourself.</strong> Take a look at our <a href="https://www.tooltester.com/en/blog/how-much-is-a-website/">pricing guide for typical website projects</a> here.</p> <p>Of course, that may not always be the ideal solution, especially when you’re busy running a business. In this case, you can also try to <a href="https://www.tooltester.com/en/find-web-designers" target="_blank" rel="noopener">hire a web designer</a> who can help you set up a WordPress website, for example.</p> <p><strong>Additional website features via plugins</strong></p> <p>An enormous advantage, especially for WordPress, is that you have <strong>thousands of plugins</strong> that let you add special features to your website that are not initially included. A typical example would be <a href="https://www.tooltester.com/en/reviews/woocommerce/">WooCommerce</a>, a plugin that adds a complete online store.</p> <p>By default, WordPress is designed to be in a single language, but there are plugins, like <a href="https://www.tooltester.com/go/wpml" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">WPML</a>, that let you translate the page. Another of my favorites is the <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-seo/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Yoast SEO plugin</a>, which lets you change the search engine settings (e.g. to rank higher on Google).</p> <p>You’ll find more information on WordPress in our <a href="https://www.tooltester.com/en/website-with-wordpress/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">WordPress beginners guide</a>.</p> <h3>Option 3: Hire someone to create your website</h3> <p>To speed up the website creation process, you can also <a href="https://www.tooltester.com/en/find-web-designers">hire a web designer or a web agency</a>. You can find these through <a href="https://www.tooltester.com/out/upwork-webdesign" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Upwork</a>, <a href="https://www.tooltester.com/out/fiverr-webdesign" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fiverr</a> and <a href="https://www.tooltester.com/out/99designs" target="_blank" rel="noopener">99designs</a>. The advantage of these platforms is that you can vet your potential contractor by viewing their ratings.</p> <p>It’s difficult to name a price here, although we outline a few of the costs in our guide to <a href="https://www.tooltester.com/en/blog/how-much-is-a-website/">how much a website costs</a>. If you are working with an <strong>individual contractor</strong>, you can expect $100-200 per page they create for you. For a small portfolio website with 6 pages and some design customization, I would calculate with costs of around $800-1,200.</p> <p>Hiring an <strong>agency</strong> is more expensive. The advantage is that you’ll have access to people with different skills (designers, programmers, copywriters and SEO specialists). But since the agency needs to support a whole team, your costs are more likely to start at $1,500 for the portfolio website I described before. Assuming you want them to create a <em>custom design, </em>develop an <em>SEO strategy </em>and do some <em>copywriting</em>, the cost can quickly reach $3,000 or more.</p> <p>Of course, you will also be able to find cheaper offers, just don’t expect too much customization at a lower price.</p> <p>Most web designers will typically use <a href="#wordpress">WordPress</a>, which is a solid and cost-effective choice. You’ll also need to pay for hosting, but there are plenty of <a href="https://www.tooltester.com/en/cheap-web-hosting/">cheap web hosting</a> providers to choose from, which cost around $8-12 per month. Some contractors also put together a package for you where you pay a monthly or yearly fee that already includes web hosting.</p> <div class="callout"><strong>An important note</strong>: to avoid unwanted issues, make sure your web designer or agency gives you full access to your domain name, the website and its hosting. Everything should also be set up <strong>under your name</strong>.</p> <p>We’ve heard too many stories where web designers vanish or agencies hold the website hostage when there are disagreements. Having access to these essential assets enables you to work with a different freelancer or agency if you are unhappy with the previous contractors.</div> <p>To recap, let’s check out the pros and cons of hiring someone to build your website:</p> <p><strong>Pros:</strong></p> <p class="p1"><div class="checklist-pros"></p> <ul> <li>Faster turnaround time</li> <li>More professional results with greater customization</li> <li>Less distraction from your business</li> </ul> <p></div></p> <p><strong>Cons:</strong></p> <div class="checklist-cons"></p> <ul> <li>Expensive – not ideal for tight budgets</li> <li>Picking the right person or agency can be difficult</li> <li>You may not have as much control over the design and content of your website.</li> </ul> <p></div> <h3>Option 4: Program the website yourself</h3> <p>This is the supreme discipline: opening the editor and starting to code. Those who need<strong> total liberty</strong> will have to make the page themselves. You do need patience for this, and for beginners, it is usually overwhelming (and sometimes frustrating).</p> <p>A good place to start are websites like <a href="https://www.codecademy.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Codecademy</a> and <a href="https://www.w3schools.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">W3Schools</a>, which have step-by-step tutorials for beginners. But expect a long journey before your website is ready.</p> <p>Some popular development tools are NetBeans, Aptana Studio or Brackets. All allow at least HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP, and are free. Another option is <a href="https://www.tooltester.com/en/reviews/webflow-review/">Webflow</a>, which is a visual source code editor.</p> <p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-16341 aligncenter" src="https://www.tooltester.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/brackets-source-code-editor.png" alt="brackets source code editor" width="700" height="428" srcset="https://www.tooltester.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/brackets-source-code-editor.png 700w, https://www.tooltester.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/brackets-source-code-editor-300x183.png 300w, https://www.tooltester.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/brackets-source-code-editor-294x180.png 294w" sizes="(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px" /></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><em>Brackets screenshot</em></p> <p><strong>Pros:</strong></p> <p class="p1"><div class="checklist-pros"></p> <ul> <li>The possibilities are unlimited if you know how to program.</li> <li>Cost-friendly web hosting.</li> <li>Maximum flexibility.</li> </ul> <p></div></p> <p><strong>Cons:</strong></p> <div class="checklist-cons"></p> <ul> <li>No support apart from web development forums.</li> <li>The learning curve is steep.</li> <li>Requires a lot of study and implementation time.</li> <li>You might lose interest during the process</li> </ul> <p></div> <h2 id="domain"><span class="ez-toc-section" id="3_Register_a_domain_name"></span>3. Register a domain name<span class="ez-toc-section-end"></span></h2> <p>A <strong>domain name</strong> is like the address of a website (e.g. www.mycompany.com), while web hosting is like the physical building where the website is located.</p> <p>Generally you can register a domain name in two different places: <strong>a domain registrar</strong> (e.g. Namecheap) or <strong>your website builder</strong> (e.g. Wix) / <strong>web hosting company</strong> (e.g. Dreamhost).</p> <p>Wix and Squarespace, for example, all have a free custom domain name included in the first year. The same is true for Dreamhost and Bluehost.</p> <p>After the first year they charge slightly more than Namecheap, for example, but the added convenience of only having to deal with one company is normally worth it.</p> <p>Usually, it’s best to get the .com extension unless you are strictly operating in one country, like Canada (.ca) or the UK (.co.uk). Of course, there are also many successful businesses that use one of the newer domain names like .me or .agency, for example.</p> <p style="text-align: center;"><em><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-84929 aligncenter" src="https://www.tooltester.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/tooltester-domain-1.png" alt="tooltester domain" width="225" height="35" /><br /> Our own domain name</em></p> <p>There is no shortage of registrars that sell custom domain names. We mostly buy them at <a href="https://www.tooltester.com/out/namecheap/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Namecheap</a> as they are, well, pretty cheap but the differences are not that significant as <a href="https://www.tooltester.com/en/blog/how-much-does-a-domain-name-cost/">they range from $9-18 per year</a>.</p> <p>Let’s now look at an area that is closely connected to the domain name:</p> <h3 id="email">How to get a professional email address?</h3> <p>If you’re running a business, you likely don’t want to use a free Gmail or Hotmail address. Having a custom email address on your own domain name looks much more professional! And it’s pretty easy to get. Let me give you a few different options:</p> <ul> <li>Get it from your website builder or web hosting company: a few of them include email addresses at no extra cost (e.g. <a href="https://www.tooltester.com/en/reviews/webnode-review/pricing/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Webnode</a> and <a href="https://www.tooltester.com/en/hosting/siteground-reviews/siteground-pricing/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Siteground</a>)</li> <li>Get it from your domain registrar: <a href="https://www.tooltester.com/out/namecheap-email/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Namecheap</a>, for example, offers it for less than $12 per email address <strong>per year</strong>.</li> <li>If you love Gmail, you can try <a href="https://www.tooltester.com/out/gsuite" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Google Workspace</a>. It’s the most feature rich solution, but will set you back $6 per email address. This is also the solution most website builders offer (Wix, Squarespace, Jimdo etc.)</li> <li><strong>Tip</strong>: For a completely free solution: <a href="https://www.tooltester.com/out/zoho-workplace" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Zoho Workplace</a>, which includes up to 5 email addresses. It’s a little bit more complicated to set up but your domain registrar should be able to help you with that.</li> </ul> <p>Once all the technical setup is out of the way, you can start focussing on building your website.</p> <h2 id="plan"><span class="ez-toc-section" id="4_Plan_the_structure_of_your_website"></span>4. Plan the structure of your website<span class="ez-toc-section-end"></span></h2> <p>Just like it isn’t always a good idea to start cooking without following a recipe, at least if you have no experience, the same goes for creating a website. <strong>Here, improvising is not a good idea</strong>. Planning will help you decide what sections you need, the content that works best for you and how your website should be designed.</p> <p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-16357 aligncenter" src="https://www.tooltester.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/mind-map-website.jpg" alt="mind map website" width="750" height="422" srcset="https://www.tooltester.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/mind-map-website.jpg 750w, https://www.tooltester.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/mind-map-website-300x169.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px" /></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><em>Mind map for an online shoe store</em></p> <p>A good way to start is by creating a mind map with the ideas of what your website will need. The main items of this mind map can be used for your website navigation.</p> <h3>Tips for planning your website:</h3> <ol> <li>Use a paper and a pen and write down everything you want on the website. Brainstorming and creating a mind map are the perfect ways to organize your thoughts.</li> <li>Take a look at other interesting websites both in terms of design and content. Note what you like and what you don’t.</li> <li>Once you have a draft of what you want on your website, ask people you trust what they think. You’ll certainly find some interesting perspectives you can incorporate.</li> <li>Create a list (e.g. in Excel) with all the pages that your website will have. Note down the title, what kind of content you’ll have, keywords, the purpose, the kind of page and their importance.</li> <li><em>Bonus</em>: If you want to position yourself well in search engines, this is when you should find out what keyword each page will have, and add them to the list in point 4.

Make sure everything is organized logically and try to use common terms such as <strong>About</strong>, <strong>Contact</strong> and <strong>Services</strong>.</p> <p>Being too abstract can lead to confusion – for example, I once saw a website that used <em>Who</em>, <em>How</em> and <em>What</em> for the three aforementioned items.

This is also the case with <a href="https://www.tooltester.com/en/blog/squarespace-templates/">Squarespace,</a> <a href="https://www.tooltester.com/en/reviews/hostinger-website-builder-review/">Hostinger Website Builder</a> as well as <a href="https://www.tooltester.com/en/blog/free-shopify-themes/">Shopify</a>, the best solution for creating larger Ecommerce sites.</p> <p>If you went for a <strong>CMS</strong> like WordPress, you will need to choose a theme.

In fact, I’d say that online, there are more examples of terrible designs than good ones. Don’t let your website be one.</p> <p>Just like bell bottom jeans were stylish in the 70s, they were ridiculous in the 80s and 90s. The same happens with web design. You have to remember that what was considered good practice 5 years ago, can now seem kind of old or out of date. Check out this article to know <a href="https://www.tooltester.com/en/blog/annoying-web-design-trends/" rel="noopener noreferrer">what practices to avoid</a>.</p> <p>Here are some tips to make a design your visitors will love:</p> <ol> <li>Try to use a light (or white) color for the background.</li> <li>Choose attractive colors that <strong>complement</strong> each other. Use <a href="https://color.adobe.com/es/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Adobe Color</a> if you need help.</li> <li>Keep the design<strong> clean, simple, and leave white space</strong> between the elements. <a href="https://www.jimdo.com/blog/checklist-for-clear-readable-website-text/#https://www.jimdo.com/blog/checklist-for-clear-readable-website-text/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">How to make readable text</a>.</li> <li>Don’t use<strong> too many fonts</strong>: one for the titles and another for the text is usually enough. <a href="https://www.tooltester.com/out/wix-perfect-font" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">This guide</a> will help you choose.</li> <li>Keep consistent style and format. The users should not notice any differences between your pages. Don’t create a Frankenstein.</li> <li>Your website should also be perfectly <strong>adapted to mobile devices</strong>.</li> <li>Any images you add must look professional. Don’t upload a selfie you took in front of a bathroom mirror. Keep in mind that today’s smartphones take very nice photos. If you plan right, you can get great headshots.</li> <li>Less is more. When in doubt, go minimal.</li> </ol> <p>You can find more design tips in our guide on <a href="https://www.tooltester.com/en/blog/improve-website/">how to improve a website</a>.</p> <h3>Creating a logo for your website</h3> <p>A logo is crucial to getting that professional look for your website. Similarly to creating your website you can also DIY your logo with a <a href="https://www.tooltester.com/en/blog/best-free-logo-maker/">logo maker</a>. Or you outsource the <a href="https://www.tooltester.com/en/blog/where-to-get-a-custom-logo/">logo creation to a professional designer</a>.</p> <h3>Finding good artwork and images</h3> <p>A website that has only written words on it, looks boring and overwhelming. For that reason you’ll notice that website templates usually have placeholder images on them.<br /> Now, most of the time it’s not a great idea to just keep them as they aren’t really customized to YOUR website.</p> <div class="info-box-text">The best artwork for your website is always your own artwork and photos. You can either create it yourself or get help from a photographer or illustrator.</div> <p>But there are good alternatives too. Most website builders are connected to stock photo providers such as <a href="https://unsplash.com/">Unsplash</a> or <a href="https://search.creativecommons.org/">Creative Commons</a>, which are free or Getty Images / Shutterstock, which are paid premium platforms. This is an easy way to add professional looking photos and illustrations to your website.</p> <p style="text-align: center;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-84846" src="https://www.tooltester.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/unsplash.png" alt="unsplash" width="700" height="293" srcset="https://www.tooltester.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/unsplash.png 700w, https://www.tooltester.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/unsplash-300x126.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px" /></p> <p>And even if your website builder or CMS is not directly connected to these stock photo providers, you can just directly browse said websites and get the images from there.</p> <p>What’s more, you can find more professional-looking photos (starting $1) on a lot of other websites, like <a href="https://depositphotos.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Depositphotos</a> and <a href="http://www.shutterstock.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Shutterstock</a>. Here are some more <a href="https://www.stockphotosecrets.com/best-free-stock-photo-sites" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">free stock photo options</a>.</p> <p>Using <strong>AI</strong> to create images is a new option, with ChatGPT and Midjourney being two popular choices. However, I’d exercise caution with these tools, as the images they produce can often appear dull and lifeless. They should soon improve, though!</p> <p>Make sure you <strong>understand the available image formats:</strong> .gif, .jpg and .png are the main formats. Plus, you have to optimize the size and quality of the image to the web standard browser. Everything you need to know about this topic can be found in this <a href="https://www.jimdo.com/blog/web-graphics-for-beginners-best-practices/">beginners guide to web graphics</a>.</p> <div class="info-box-text">Before uploading images to your site, use services like <a href="https://tinypng.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">TinyPNG</a> or <a href="https://shortpixel.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">ShortPixel</a> to compress your photos for free.</p> <p>Although the human eye will hardly recognize any change in the image, it will speed up your website and improve the user experience for your visitors. Of course, search engines love fast loading websites too!</div> <p>Likewise, it will come in handy to have an editing program to be able to edit and change the size of the images. The most professional ways to manipulate photos are Figma and Photoshop, but not everyone will be able (or will want to) afford them.</p> <p>Alternatives are <a href="https://affinity.serif.com/">Affinity Photo</a> and <a href="https://flyingmeat.com/acorn/">Acorn</a>, which costs only a fraction of the price of the original and don’t require a subscription.</p> <p>There are increasingly more tools you can use to create graphic resources simply and without having to learn to use Photoshop or Illustrator. For instance, you can use <a href="https://getstencil.com/">Stencil</a>, Canva or <a href="https://snappa.com/">Snappa</a>.</p> <p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-16373 aligncenter" src="https://www.tooltester.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/stencil.png" alt="stencil" width="700" height="372" srcset="https://www.tooltester.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/stencil.png 700w, https://www.tooltester.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/stencil-300x159.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px" /></p> <h2 id="content"><span class="ez-toc-section" id="6_Add_content_and_start_publishing"></span>6. Add content and start publishing<span class="ez-toc-section-end"></span></h2> <p>After defining the style in the previous step, we are finally ready to add content to our brand-new website.</p> <h3>Speak the language of your customers</h3> <p>Your potential visitors and customers need to be the full focus of your content strategy.</p> <p>For that reason, you need to speak a language your visitors understand. Remember, they don’t have much time and won’t be happy if you throw cryptic jargon at them. So try to use a clear and simple language without much fluff.</p> <h3>Structuring and optimizing your content</h3> <p>On a website, we are generally less formal than in a book or a letter. We must help the busy visitor find the information they need.</p> <h4>Things you should do:</h4> <ul> <li><strong>Make it scan and skip-able</strong>: structure your pages using titles and subtitles because your visitors love to scan the content to skip to the most relevant sections. It feels just as good as skipping YouTube ads and Netflix intros.</li> <li><strong>Short sentences with a generous amount of line breaks</strong>. This makes it easy to read.</li> <li><strong>Bulleted lists</strong>: just like this one. Another way to consume content with little effort</li> <li><strong>Effective fonts</strong>: as mentioned in part 5, our design section, use a reduced number of fonts (max. 2-3 different ones) that are easy to read on screen.</li> <li><strong>Own your content</strong>: make it clear who is behind the website and generously use photos even if it makes you slightly uncomfortable. Also show relevant qualifications.</li> </ul> <h4>Things you should avoid:</h4> <ul> <li><strong>Using complicated language just to sound smart</strong>. This will drive visitors away from your website faster than a bullet train.</li> <li><strong>Not using call to actions: </strong>too many websites lose business because their visitors are unsure of how to get in touch or initiate a transaction. You should make it as easy as possible! Use <a href="https://www.tooltester.com/en/blog/call-to-action-buttons/">CTA-buttons</a>, contact forms, online booking tools, <a href="https://www.tooltester.com/en/best-livechat-software/">live chat</a>. Whatever works for you and your customers.</li> </ul> <p>Find more tips in this article about <a href="https://www.tooltester.com/en/blog/writing-for-the-web/">how to write for the web</a>.</p> <div class="callout">You may have already heard of <strong>AI-copywriting tools</strong> that can help you create content for your website. You simply enter a <a href="https://www.tooltester.com/en/blog/what-is-a-prompt/">prompt</a> and the tool will generate ideas or even write some copy for you. <a href="https://www.tooltester.com/en/blog/creating-a-website-with-chatgpt/">ChatGPT</a>, <a href="https://www.tooltester.com/en/blog/best-chatgpt-alternatives/">WriteSonic and Copy.ai</a>, are some of the best chatbots for this purpose and can be used for <strong>free</strong>. Just make sure to customize your generated texts to align them with your brand and give them personality.</div> <p>Of course, if writing isn’t your thing, you can also hire a professional copywriter.</p> <h4>Outsourcing content creation</h4> <p>As with all website elements (design, logo etc.), you can hire a copywriting professional to create the copy for your website if you are not a natural-born writer.</p> <p>The process is usually quite straightforward, you provide a brief, usually via their template, and later once the writer sends their draft you can provide feedback and request any necessary changes.</p> <p>Top platforms for hiring a copywriter:</p> <ul> <li>Google search (usually “copywriter [add your industry])</li> <li><a href="https://www.tooltester.com/out/upwork" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Upwork</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.tooltester.com/out/fiverr-copywriting" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fiverr</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">LinkedIn</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.twitter.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Twitter</a> (type your search and then click on ‘People’)</li> </ul> <p>The good thing about copywriters is that they don’t necessarily need to be close to where you are. This job can easily be done remotely. Just make sure you hire a native speaker of whatever language you are going to produce.</p> <h2 id="promote"><span class="ez-toc-section" id="7_Promote_your_website"></span>7. Promote your website<span class="ez-toc-section-end"></span></h2> <p>If you’ve already created your website and published it, you can start promoting and optimizing it to increase visits and improve the overall user experience.</p> <ul> <li><strong>Update your website</strong>: Websites are not books. Once published, they can still be updated. Make sure that you create new and relevant content when you have the chance and that you’re constantly updating the website. For example, imagine a restaurant’s website: if the menu changes, it should be reflected on the website as quickly as possible.</li> <li><strong>Online positioning</strong>: To attract as many visitors as possible, you’ll have to further optimize your website’s SEO. This is not very complicated, but it requires time and work. Check out this guide for more information on <a href="https://www.tooltester.com/en/blog/best-website-builder-for-seo/">which website builders are good for SEO</a>.</li> <li><strong>Web analysis</strong>: Your efforts in online positioning (above point) will be useless if you don’t measure your website traffic. That’s how you’ll know whether it’s working or not. The most popular website analysis tool is <a href="https://www.google.com/analytics/">Google Analytics</a>. And it’s free!</li> <li>Once you publish your website, you should register with <strong>Google Search Console</strong> to notify Google that your page exists and get information. Or at least send your website’s URL (address) <a href="https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/submit-url">to Google so that it can index it</a>.</li> <li><strong>Email Marketing</strong>: Another common strategy, especially for businesses, is to send regular emails to its visitors, so as not to lose contact. This is especially useful for online stores, small businesses, and bloggers. Email marketing is a science in itself. You can read <a href="https://www.emailtooltester.com/en/how-to-create-an-email-newsletter/">this how-to guide</a> to find more information on how to get started sending newsletters.</li> <li><strong>Social media</strong>: Finally, most websites also have social media profiles (e.g. Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, etc.) for being able to interact with their target group beyond of the realms of their website. This works especially well for visual professionals, like illustrators, jewelers, or photographers.</li> </ul> <h2><span class="ez-toc-section" id="Final_words"></span>Final words<span class="ez-toc-section-end"></span></h2> <p>Making your own website can be daunting.

A simple website like an online portfolio that’s built with a website builder will cost you less than a bigger website with a lot of different content and extended features.</p> <p>If you have a personal project, and aren’t in need of advanced website features or a personalized domain, you can even get free website. Many <a href="https://www.tooltester.com/en/blog/best-free-website-builders/">website builders offer free plans</a>.</p> <p>For professional projects, you’ll likely need premium features – for example, members areas or online appointment booking – and will therefore have to go for one of the higher pricing plans. A website created with a premium plan can cost you between approx. $5 to $45 per month.</p> <p>If you have a complex project with very individual needs, a CMS or a self-coded solution is your best bet. In case you are tech-savvy and can handle the installation and maintenance yourself, your running costs will be relatively low. All you’ll be paying for is a domain and <a href="https://www.tooltester.com/en/cheap-web-hosting/">hosting provider</a> – the prices for hosting plans start at around $3 per month.</p> <p>If you hire a web developer who takes care of setting up the website and maintaining it, the costs can be a lot higher and usually ballpark in the hundreds or even thousands of dollars range. However, the good news is that it’s usually only the initial investment that’s that high. Once the website has been developed you will just have to pay for the hosting (and the occasional maintenance of the website by a web developer). So the costs for your website will decline over time.</p> <p>You can find more detailed information about <a href="https://www.tooltester.com/en/blog/how-much-is-a-website/">what a website will cost you here</a>.</p> </div> </div> <div class="accordion__item"> <button aria-expanded="false" class="accordion__handle" aria-controls="accordion-2" id="what-options-are-there-to-set-up-my-own-website"> <h3 class="accordion__title">What options are there to set up my own website?</h3> <div class="accordion__icon"> </div> </button> <div class="accordion__body" id="accordion-2" role="region" aria-labelledby="what-options-are-there-to-set-up-my-own-website"> <p>There are several ways to make a website.

However, the main difference is that with a website builder, you get everything in one place – the editor, hosting, domain (if you like), security, and feature updates are provided to you by the website builder provider. <a href="https://www.tooltester.com/en/blog/wix-vs-squarespace/">Wix and Squarespace</a> are two of the most popular website builders, although there are many <a href="https://www.tooltester.com/en/best-website-builder/">excellent website builders</a> that serve a wide range of needs.</p> <p>If you use a CMS like <a href="https://www.tooltester.com/en/website-with-wordpress/">WordPress</a>, you’ll need to organize a <a href="https://www.tooltester.com/en/cheap-wordpress-hosting/">hosting provider</a> and domain yourself, and install plugins and updates manually. You also won’t get the same flexible visual editor you get with a website builder, which may make editing your site slightly more complicated.</p> </div> </div> <div class="accordion__item"> <button aria-expanded="false" class="accordion__handle" aria-controls="accordion-9" id="what-is-a-portfolio-website"> <h3 class="accordion__title">What is a portfolio website?</h3> <div class="accordion__icon"> </div> </button> <div class="accordion__body" id="accordion-9" role="region" aria-labelledby="what-is-a-portfolio-website"> <p>A portfolio website is a type of website that you can use to present yourself and/or your work, be it as an individual (for example, if you’re an artist or photographer), a company, or an organization. Its main draw is usually its visual appeal. You can imagine it as a sort of digital business card. Of course, you can also add further functionality, like an online store to sell your artwork, if needed.</p> <p>You can learn <a href="https://www.tooltester.com/en/blog/how-to-make-an-online-portfolio/">how to put together a portfolio</a> in our guide, and find some <a href="https://www.tooltester.com/en/blog/portfolio-examples/">portfolio examples for inspiration here</a>.</p> </div> </div> <div class="accordion__item"> <button aria-expanded="false" class="accordion__handle" aria-controls="accordion-10" id="what-is-a-landing-page-website"> <h3 class="accordion__title">What is a landing page website?</h3> <div class="accordion__icon"> </div> </button> <div class="accordion__body" id="accordion-10" role="region" aria-labelledby="what-is-a-landing-page-website"> <p>A landing page is a single webpage designed for a specific marketing purpose. Users click on a link or call-to-action button that you might have implemented in an email newsletter, Instagram/Facebook post, Google ad, or somewhere else on your website, and finally “‘land” on this page.</p> <p>Generally, with a landing page, you are trying to get website visitors to perform a specific action – to sign up for an ebook, register for a webinar, or trial your product, for example. The goal is to collect the contact details of so-called “leads” to eventually convert them into future customers.</p> <p>A typical landing page usually contains a call-to-action (e.g. “Sign up for free”) and a method to engage your customers and website visitors. This method can be the implementation of a signup or contact form. It can also be a page with buttons linking to all the services you provide (see the example below), or one with more information about an event that will finally lead the user to an event registration/ticket purchase page.</p> <p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-114041" src="https://www.tooltester.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/wix-landing-page.png" alt="wix landing page template" width="1400" height="701" srcset="https://www.tooltester.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/wix-landing-page.png 1400w, https://www.tooltester.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/wix-landing-page-300x150.png 300w, https://www.tooltester.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/wix-landing-page-1024x513.png 1024w, https://www.tooltester.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/wix-landing-page-768x385.png 768w, https://www.tooltester.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/wix-landing-page-1200x601.png 1200w, https://www.tooltester.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/wix-landing-page-999x500.png 999w" sizes="(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px" /></p> <p>Wix for example offers <a href="https://www.tooltester.com/out/wix-landingpage-templates">special templates for creating landing pages</a>.

does creating a website cost?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"The price for creating a website can vary depending on what option you choose, and how big your project will be. A simple website like an online portfolio that\u2019s built with a website builder will cost you less than a bigger website with a lot of different content and extended features.\nIf you have a personal project, and aren\u2019t in need of advanced website features or a personalized domain, you can even get free website. Many website builders offer free plans.\nFor professional projects, you\u2019ll likely need premium features – for example, members areas or online appointment booking – and will therefore have to go for one of the higher pricing plans. A website created with a premium plan can cost you between approx. $5 to $45 per month.\nIf you have a complex project with very individual needs, a CMS or a self-coded solution is your best bet. In case you are tech-savvy and can handle the installation and maintenance yourself, your running costs will be relatively low. All you\u2019ll be paying for is a domain and hosting provider – the prices for hosting plans start at around $3 per month.\nIf you hire a web developer who takes care of setting up the website and maintaining it, the costs can be a lot higher and usually ballpark in the hundreds or even thousands of dollars range. However, the good news is that it\u2019s usually only the initial investment that\u2019s that high. Once the website has been developed you will just have to pay for the hosting (and the occasional maintenance of the website by a web developer). So the costs for your website will decline over time.\nYou can find more detailed information about what a website will cost you here."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"What options are there to set up my own website?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"There are several ways to make a website. You can use a website builder, a CMS like WordPress, code a website yourself or have it programmed by a web developer.\nWhich option is best for you depends on several factors, like your level of technical knowledge, the size of your project, your budget, and how much time you have."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"What kinds of websites can I create with a website builder?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Website builders are a suitable tool if you want to create a business website, a portfolio website, a blog, a landing page, or a smaller to mid-sized online store.\nFor bigger websites and online stores with special requirements, a CMS like WordPress or self-coded solution is usually the better choice."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"How do I get a domain name?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"If you use a website builder for your project, you can usually purchase a domain directly through your provider. Alternatively, you can buy a domain elsewhere and later connect or transfer it to your website. Many website builders allow this option. An affordable domain registrar is Namecheap, for example.\nMany times getting your domain with an external service will save you a bit of money; however, buying it directly from your provider is the easier-to-manage alternative."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Do I need technical knowledge?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"A little bit \ud83d\ude42 The good news is that if you have managed to navigate to our website, you will have no trouble using easy-to-use website builders like Wix, Hostinger Website Builder\u00a0or Weebly.\nThe easiest site builders like Wix AI or Jimdo even use artificial intelligence to make the website building process as painless as possible for you.\nIf you have a bigger project and want to use a content management system (CMS) like WordPress, you\u2019ll need some technical skills, as its use requires a bit of programming knowledge (and you\u2019ll need to get a hosting provider and maintain your website yourself). Of course, you could also get the help of a web developer for all that. You can find a developer on platforms like Fiverr or Upwork."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Why is SEO important for my business?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"If you want to rank high on Google and be found by potential customers, investing some time into your website\u2019s search engine optimization is crucial.\nImportant parameters include an SEO title and meta description for your pages and articles, and optimized URLs. They should include keywords that make sense and that your customers are likely to be searching on. You can use tools like ahrefs or SE Ranking\u00a0to find the most relevant search terms that generate the most traffic.\nOther factors, like page speed and the quality of your content, also play an important role.\nYou can learn more about SEO in this article."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"How can I earn money online?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"There are several popular ways that you can earn money through your website, and you can even combine them:\n\nSelling physical products (via delivery or dropshipping, e.g. through AliDropship or Amazon Fulfilment)\nSelling digital products (e.g. online classes, e-books or music)\nSelling subscriptions (e.g. via a membership area)\nAffiliate marketing (implementing affiliate links on your website)\nAdverts (e.g. via Google Ads)\n\nCheck out our in-depth article for more ideas on how to turn your website or blog into a revenue stream."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"What is the difference between a website builder and a CMS?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Website builders belong to the family of content management systems (CMS), meaning a website builder is a form of a CMS. However, the main difference is that with a website builder, you get everything in one place – the editor, hosting, domain (if you like), security, and feature updates are provided to you by the website builder provider. Wix and Squarespace are two of the most popular website builders, although there are many excellent website builders that serve a wide range of needs.\nIf you use a CMS like WordPress, you\u2019ll need to organize a hosting provider and domain yourself, and install plugins and updates manually. You also won\u2019t get the same flexible visual editor you get with a website builder, which may make editing your site slightly more complicated."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"What is a portfolio website?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"A portfolio website is a type of website that you can use to present yourself and\/or your work, be it as an individual (for example, if you\u2019re an artist or photographer), a company, or an organization. Its main draw is usually its visual appeal. You can imagine it as a sort of digital business card. Of course, you can also add further functionality, like an online store to sell your artwork, if needed.\nYou can learn how to put together a portfolio in our guide, and find some portfolio examples for inspiration here."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"What is a landing page website?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"A landing page is a single webpage designed for a specific marketing purpose. Users click on a link or call-to-action button that you might have implemented in an email newsletter, Instagram\/Facebook post, Google ad, or somewhere else on your website, and finally \u201c\u2018land\u201d on this page.\nGenerally, with a landing page, you are trying to get website visitors to perform a specific action – to sign up for an ebook, register for a webinar, or trial your product, for example. The goal is to collect the contact details of so-called \u201cleads\u201d to eventually convert them into future customers.\nA typical landing page usually contains a call-to-action (e.g. \u201cSign up for free\u201d) and a method to engage your customers and website visitors. This method can be the implementation of a signup or contact form. It can also be a page with buttons linking to all the services you provide (see the example below), or one with more information about an event that will finally lead the user to an event registration\/ticket purchase page.\n\nWix for example offers special templates for creating landing pages. We also have a list of more conversion-focused landing pages here."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"How to add a contact form?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Whatever type of site it is you are creating, you should always have a contact page for your visitors.\nUsing one of the popular website builders like Wix, Squarespace or GoDaddy, your contact form is just a few clicks away. For a CMS like WordPress you\u2019ll need a plugin, but there are plenty of free ones (e.g. Contact Form 7, Everest Forms).\n\nMake sure your contact page is easy to reach. You can add it either to the top menu or your footer menu (or both!).\nOf course, you can also add your email address on this page as some people prefer sending messages via their email provider. Do keep in mind, however, that putting your email address on the site for everyone to see, can lead to more spam emails.\nFinally, make sure you test your contact form before publishing it on your website!"}}],"isPartOf":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.tooltester.com#article"}}]</script> </article> <section class="section-spacing-l u-bg-cream" id="reader-comments"> <div class="container container-width-xs"> <div class="wrapper" id="comments-page"> <div class="container-fluid"> <h2 class="u-mb">Comments</h2> <div id="disqus_thread"></div> <script> const disqusInstance = { post_url: "https://www.tooltester.com/en/how-to-set-up-my-own-website/", post_id: "12769 http://websitett.wpengine.com/?page_id=12769/", page_title: "How to Create a Website in 2024: <span>An Updated Beginner’s Guide</span>", init: function() { document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', () => { this.addEvents();
