First of all you have to choose, whether you will make your own website or use the services of a web builder. If you want to make your own, I recommend using wordpress.com, there you can buy a domain according to your business. Thank you

First, decide what kind of website you need for your business. There is a couple of options. The first one - you can hire a web developer who will set things up for you. Though this solution wouldn't be the cheapest, it's a great way to get a professionally built website that meets all the requirements. Another option is to use a website-building platform. Picking this option, remember that, first of all, the website should be convenient for users https://ivypanda.com/essays/development-of-an-interactive-organizational-website/ . There are plenty of them: WordPress, Wix, Weebly - to name a few. Shopify is widely used for e-commerce. They provide you with ready-made templates or themes, and you can pick either free or paid ones.

To create a website, you should have a clear idea about your business. For example, you should know the values that would like to share with your audience. By then, you can start by writing a document that contains the structure of your website. To build a professional website, you should hire a team that contains UI/UX designer, Front end developer and a web developer.

As a small business counselor I have noticed there seems to be a belief that a web site, the Internet and social networking can make the business succeed when in fact the real design of the enterprise itself may be lacking (niche, market base, business plan, competitive analysis and financial forecasting)

I hear from many clients who ask, "What Now?" having launched an enterprise that is going nowhere because they are driving the tools and not the car.

I take them back to the garage; design the auto to see if it can run and then apply the wrenches retroactively if that is possible. It is usually a traumatic experience and could have been avoided with strategic and business planning before launch.

Below is a simple test to develop your potential idea for a business.

  1. Do you have a product or service niche in mind?

  2. Do you believe you have a market for 1 above and the means to reach it?

  3. Are you willing to develop a business plan using the tool kit linked below to validate 1 and 2 above before you launch?

If the answer to the above questions is "Yes", use the below planning aids to design your business vehicle and the road map you intend to follow on your journey:

When you have completed the above definition and planning process you will then be in a position to astutely select the tools you wish to use along the way and apply them successfully.

You will be able to network your vehicle, pick up riders as industry partners, and attract revenue fuel in the form of customers by marketing and social networking based on the thorough definition and content of your business plan.

In short, don’t let poor judgments on technology detract from your idea as well as raid your treasury before you launch. Define your business vehicle and its journey first. Then pick the right technology tools to make a successful trip.

Just in case you're still not sure: 1. Buy hosting and a domain name. 2. One-click install a CMS - like WordPress. 3. Install a page builder in your CMS - like Elementor or Beaver Builder or Gutenberg. 4. Install a theme that you think fits your business. There are many to choose from. 5. Build your website's pages and add your content to them.

There are usually many "plugins" for the different CMS available for free. There are thousands available for WordPress.
