Setup Website

Setup Website

Note: This step can wait and does not need to be completed now

1. Plan a Very Simple Version 1 of Your Website

Keep version 1 very simple.  Get something up and work on your site as you have time.  You don't need the first version to be prefect.  As you expand your business you can expand the complexity of your site.

Note: A one page website that says "Hello World" can be up and running in 30 minutes

Plan a long term plan of your site.  Consider these types of sections on your website. 

Note: If you have more than 5 pages on your first version of your site you are over complicating your version 1.  You will have time to expand your site later.

2. Determine Who Will Build Your Website

Consider Paying Professionals to Set up your Site

Companies such as bigredjelly.com build websites for companies that don't have the technical skill or time to setup a website on your own.  They will even help you figure out the technical stuff like domain hosts.

Consider Building The site content Yourself

Most people really can build a website themselves without programming knowledge.  If you choose a host that handles WordPress you can build simple pages and content on your own and when you get stuck you can turn it over to professionals such as bigredjelly.com.
