4 Basic Steps to make a Website
1. Get your domain name
“Well begun is Half done.” A name chosen for your blog to begin with is the foremost task each individual faces at first.What all points are to be kept in mind for choosing a blog name are basic ones and seldom thought seriously-
Blog name should be easy to remember– What if a difficult name has been thought of as a blog name and the blogger himself/ herself has to write it somewhere in his/her notepad to remember it. The name should be easy to remember so that the viewers who miss the link somewhere may remember it and put the address and use it.
Blog name should be easy to spell– Blog name chosen should be easy to spell. You know very well that a wrong click in internet makes you reach somewhere else. So if your blog is a miss spell , the fun of using/ viewing your blog will die.
Don’t over think and choose – Choose the blog name you want and if its not available then apply a modifier to it. Example if blog name you want is Bakloh, and it is taken then you can choose we at bakloh. Every possibility is there that you may find a blog name you targeted.
Choose a name that incites emotions- The blog name should be a true picture of all sorts of blog posts related to the domain name. Don’t overthink, and make decisions. Be honest to you and choose only that what you have.
As in our case our site’s domain name is bakloh.com, similarly you can apply for it. Many websites are there giving offers for a new domain name. I bought it from Go Daddy.com for approximately 15 dollars for a year.
2. Get hosting for your domain
It’s having all the information of your website 24X7 and enabling you to run your website. Without hosting nothing is there in the website. I bought it from hostgator.com. It costed me approximately 10 dollar for a year and would have costed less if opted for more duration and from the same site from which domain was purchased.Other hosting platforms are provided by Go daddy.com, or bluehost.com etc.
3. Get a content management system for your website
We researched for it a lot. As we were new to this field so, we opted for WordPress. WordPress enables you to easily work with your contents for the website and moreover it is free. Also it has more easy towork with plugins then other CMS.
4. Create your website
It is the last and the most important step for creating your website. It includes customizing, managing contents, making contents, displaying them, Providing images and videos to the site and much more. For getting deep into the creation of website one must refer to useful videos over You tube. And we will definitely recommend the videos from Tyler Moore. they are very helpful for the non techie , novice people like us.
