How to Make a Website

Ready to get your website up and running? Let’s dive in!

Step 1: Define Your Website’s Purpose

Decide what you want your site to achieve:

• Portfolio/Service: Showcase skills or services.
• E-commerce: Sell products.
• Blog: Share knowledge.
  Choose a purpose that aligns with your interests and goals—it’s easier to maintain and grow.

Step 2: Pick a Platform – Free or Paid

For beginners, WordPress is a top choice:

• Free themes and layouts.
• Easy customization and management.
• Freedom to monetize and own your site.

Free platforms (like Wix) often limit your options and professionalism.

Step 3: Get a Domain & Hosting

Invest in a self-hosted site (domain: $10/year; hosting: $3–$9/month).

• Use Hostinger for affordable, reliable hosting with one-click WordPress setup.
• Choose a short, memorable domain name (avoid long names or numbers).

Step 4: Set Up & Customize

• Use Hostinger’s “One-Click Installation” for WordPress.
• Select a theme, write your first post, and connect to Google Search Console to track performance.

Congratulations! Your website is live.
