You won’t hear this for the first time, I’m pretty sure, but I can’t stop repeating myself: each and every business should have a website. More and more people are searching online, looking to find offline services on the internet, compare the prices, read reviews about them, etc. If your business does not have a website, all these internet users who are searching for you are not able to find your service or product. So you are loosing money.

I know, probably you don’t have the time to find a developer, and anyway it cost a lot of money to hire a person who can take care of your website. After your site is done, you still have to be in touch with this person to make possible changes and upgrades. Wrong!
Forget about all these problems!  It is so easy to have a website in 2013, you won’t believe it. The best part is that you don’t have to find anyone, you can create your own website. Can you use a computer and a text editor? You have all the necessary skills to make the website. I will show you how to do it.

The first thing you will need is a domain name. You can register you company’s name, your product name, or something that describe your product and service, it is up to you, however keep in mind that a domain name should be easy to remember and should not be very long. Try to keep it as simple as possible.

At iPage you can check if the domain is available or not. After you have found a cool domain name, sign up with iPage and you will get this domain name for free. So you will get an easy to use hosting account and free domain name, if you choose Ipage. There are a lot more features you will benefit from with ipage, but I will stick to the website building only for now.

Ok, you have your host account and domain name ready, the next step is to build your site. In the control panel go to the Weebly website builder and start creating your pages. It is so simple, my 7 year old son have created his own little family album about us. Anyway, this tool will save you a lot of time and money, and you don’t have to bother yourself contacting designers and developers. Choose a design (from hundreds of available themes), create pages, add text and upload pictures, choose the layout that you like for the content, add a contact form and contact information, publish your website.

At iPage you will get a huge advertising bonus, that you can you for promotion your website on different advertising networks. But about this we will talk in the next article.

Thank you for showing interest and hope you can get your website done as fast I did. Good luck!
