In this article, I’ll briefly look at choosing the right platform to host your website, choosing a domain name and lastly, setting up the website. For further assistance, consult our ‘designing on the go’ web design experts.
Designing websites while traveling should be easy. As such, using HTML, CSS, and/or Flash could prove challenging especially if you have no design/code skills. If you are a beginner in building websites, then you might wanna consider using a content management systems (CMS) such as WordPress. As a web designer agency, we'd highly recommend using WordPress because of the following reasons:
1. Totally free – it comes with amazing layouts and themes.
2. Easy to use – the templates are easy to tweak and make changes. Suitable for beginners.
3. Great for handling small and bulky websites.
4. WordPress is responsive – it works great on smartphones, tablets, basically any screen size without affecting the website user interface.
5. WordPress has a support forum which is useful for helping builders with free resources.
In order to have a functional website online, you need a domain name as well as a hosting service. A domain name is what your website will be called, for example, qwerty.com, companyname.com. A hosting server is what enables people and you, to connect to the website.
WordPress is a free platform, however, hosting charges will set you back around $3-$5 dollars per month. Owning a company website is important because it is cheap, convenient and highly accessible – hosting in servers such as (businessname.cheaphostingservices.com) would slow your website.
As a web designer, I can suggest hosting services such as InMotion.com, godaddy.com. and iPage.com. One more thing, in order to look professional, go for a .com domain extension like companyname.com. Other recommended options include .net and .org domain extensions.
This step involves installing WordPress in your newly acquired website. This is simple.
Step 1: Log into your web hosting account.
Step 2: Click the Control Panel option.
Step 3: Search for the “WordPress” icon.
Step 4: Proceed to install “WordPress” on your website. You can now access your new WordPress website.
