Building your own website is not as difficult as it might seem and as an increasing number of businesses are using their online presence to promote themselves it is an inexpensive way to achieve this.

Many people worry that they will need to learn coding to be able to build a website, but this is not necessary if you use a website builder program to support you.

The first step will be to plan out the structure of your website for instance what information do you want to have on your home page, how many pages will you need and what content will need to be displayed? Once you have decided on the content of your website you will need to register a domain name which is the address of your website, allowing visitors to find your site when browsing the internet. When deciding on your domain name choose a name that is short and easy to spell to make it easier for potential customers to find your site.

Once you have registered your domain name, choose a website builder program and upload your content. You can adapt colours and fonts using the templates provided.

Optimising your website to make it rank higher in searches carried out is an important aspect of this process and can be achieved as part of the web builder platform.
