How To Create A Website And Why

Today, how to create a website is probably one of the easiest things a person can learn.

Steps to Take
If you have a business, blog or anything that you need a website for, it is easy but you need to take it in certain steps.

Name of your Business
Decide on the name for your website – George’s Watch Repair or Watch Repair by George. It really doesn’t matter what you call you website but you need to do this first.

Domain name or Website Name
Next you need to buy a domain name for your website – this is the name that is the internet name for your website. If you decide to buy the domain for the name which would be .com or it could be .net or several other extensions. A domain name for a year usually runs about $13 a year and each year you need to renew the domain name.

Hosting Company
Next you need to find a company that will host your website and there are many. Everyone has heard of GoDaddy.com which is a hosting site that made a very cheap commercial and had just enough money to run it one time during the Super Bowl several years ago. Now everyone has heard of them, so you might want to start with there.

Package Deal
With some hosting company, you can get a package deal – some of them are quite good. They will register your domain name, host your website, and also have all the tools you need to create your website as well as tutorials on how to create a website. Some hosting companies might have all of that is a package and cost anywhere from $15 to $35 a month. They even will help you get your website up and running.

Search Engine Optimisation and Market
After getting your website up and running you need to learn as much as you can about what is referred to as SEO or Search Engine Optimisation. This is what you need to do in order for the search engines to find you. Basically when someone is doing a Google search for “watch repair”, you want your website to come up on the first page as close to the top as possible. To get there involves SEO so you need to learn as much as you can about this subject and also how to market your website.

Social Media Marketing
One final step is learning all about social media marketing. Now all of these projects might scare you off but don’t let them because they are all fairly simple to learn and there are always companies that you can hire to help you. In fact if you don’t have the time or inclination to do this for yourself, then hire a company or an individual to do all of this for you. Some hosting companies even offer all of this in one of their package deals.

Needed in Today’s Culture
There is one other point that you need to understand – if you want your business to get ahead you need to have some type of presence on the internet. No one uses the yellow pages now – no, instead when they want to find any business of any kind, they go to the internet first.
