A step-by-step guide with the main aspects to consider when starting to develop a website: domain, hosting, email, SSL and design.
Having a website is essential for a brand's online presence. Many headaches can arise when approaching the topic for the first time, with confusing and hard-to-remember names. That's why we decided to write a short guide with the main aspects to keep in mind. It is necessary to follow an order, as some steps are essential before moving on to the next.
1. Buy a domain: this is the name or address of the site, what comes after "www". It is the first important decision and should reflect your brand clearly and memorably.
2. Hire hosting: this is the server space where your website will live. There are many options on the market, and a low-cost choice may mean higher costs in the future. 3. Email service: we always recommend paying a little more and keeping accounts on better platforms like Google or Microsoft, which will also give you access to all their services. Budget hosting often causes spam and synchronisation problems.
4. SSL security certificate: this is what will protect your site on the internet and give security to all users who browse it. When entering a website, you'll notice it's secure when you see a padlock in the address bar. 5. Web design: the website is the brand's online presence. It's essential to analyse all available options according to resources and needs before investing.
