If you just realized the importance of an online presence, you have probably asked this question, “What do you need to make a website?” The basics of a website involves the following components:
- Domain Name – The address you type into the internet browser (typically is says www.) is purchased and owned by you. If you are just starting out, please wait to purchase this and contact us about the domain name. If this is for business purposes, you will want to include good keywords in the domain name to help with your placement in search engine results.
- Website – This can be created from scratch but you need to understand web development languages to do this. In today’s technology, there are many ways this can be achieved. If web development is a foreign concept, you can pay someone to make your site or build it yourself with a free tool like WordPress.
- Hosting – This will be where the actual web site files will reside and be accessible from the web. If you are intending on creating multiple websites, you can purchase a plan that will allow unlimited domains. (This decision should be based on what your objective is for the website.) Although there are many hosting companies, BlueHost is less expensive then many and their customer service is good.
- SEO – Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is not required to make a website. But if a website is constructed with the best components, you will get the best results. Sometimes people need to back step when they realize the need to add SEO to their website. It’s always much easier to implement this from the beginning. If you intend to make a website for business purposes, and expect t0 be found in search engines, you will want to have your website optimized. This should be started BEFORE you pick out a domain for your business.
If you are just starting out, you might be overwhelmed. I hope this helps you with the question, “What do you need to make a website?” Let us help you get started! Contact us today so we can point you in the best direction for your goals and needs.





Interesting, never thought of it like that
Hullo there! I wonder if u could possibly help me? We are launching a contest in my country on what the top general purpose Search Engine Optimisation tool for Wordpress is, and i have been given the job of requesting reputable word press webmasters and those running professional looking WP web sites which of the top 3 plugins they enjoy and use on their wordpress websites. It would be greatly valued if u could visit my web site and input your answer so as to add your vote to the survey. Thank you for your time!
