I. Introduction
Are you interested in creating a website? Are you new to the website world? Do you want to create a website or online store for your business? Well, you’re in the right place.
Many people are unaware that pretty much anyone can build & design a website without needing any(bold) experience whatsoever.
I mean, let’s take me for example. I started building websites when I was just 18 years old. I had no experience & believe me when I say, I didn’t think I would ever be capable of building one. Although learning was extremely challenging in the beginning, I realized it was because I didn’t have the right tools & resources.
So now(fast forward years later), I feel it is my duty to provide you with a completely free, beginner’s guide on how to create a website.
(Thank me later)
II. Things You Will Need
- Domain name: Your web address (www.SiteName.com)
- Influx Plus: Website builder (includes website hosting)
To get started with building a functional website, you will first need to purchase a domain name (web address).
What is a Domain name? It is the address of your website. People can type in your domain name in an internet browser to find your website.
For example:
Our domain name is: www.InfluxEntrepreneur.com
You can purchase a domain name off of sites like Influx Plus, GoDaddy, BlueHost, & HostGator. In this guide, we will be showing you how to purchase one on Influx Plus.
In some cases, if you want to use a platform like WordPress, you will need to purchase website hosting. But, don’t worry about that.
Since we are going to be using a platform called Influx Plus, you don’t need to purchase website hosting. Influx Plus hosts your website for you & it also provides you with a website builder called the Influx Builder.
III. Choose A Domain Name
The first thing you will need to build a website is a domain name. A domain name is essentially your website name & address. The only way people can find your website is with that website address or url.
Our domain name is www.InfluxEntrepreneur.com
You can use your business name as your domain name. For example: www.BusinessName.com or if you have a personal brand, you can use: www.YourName.Com
There are endless possibilities for domain names, so don’t worry if the domain name you wanted is unavailable. Try something similar or try using .org, .net, .store instead of .com.
