3. Choose a Web Host

After deciding what software you are going to use for the website, you need to choose a Web Host. A Web Host is a business responsible for providing the technologies and services the website or web page needs that is made available to visitors.

Choosing a web host will depend on the software management you have chosen and also on the speed and on the expected number of visits. If you are just starting a business website, you can start off with the less expensive and less powerful web hosting services but later on, you can step up to a faster and powerful one.


4. Choose a template and plugins to use for the website

5. Organize the website

At this point, you need to start what the website will look like and how it will be used by the customers. Think of the company logo and other visuals and designs, the menu selections you want to make available for the website, and information you want to put on each of the pages.

Organizing contents for the website can be the hardest part. It should be convincing to the visitors and deliver interesting and credible information so the visitors will stay and read the content instead of leaving your website and move on to the other.
