Where to start creating a website: a step-by-step guide

Building a website is a process that combines technical skills, strategic thinking, and creativity. Below is a step-by-step guide to help you through all the key steps.

🔹 Step 1. Defining the goal and audience

  • Clearly define what you need a website for: sales, information resource, blog, corporate business card.
  • Describe the target audience: who your users are, what their needs and expectations are.
  • Identify key actions that a visitor should take (purchase, sign up, subscribe).

🔹 Step 2. Choosing a domain and hosting

  • Domain name: short, clear, easy to remember.
  • Hosting: choose a reliable provider with good speed, SSL support, and backups.
  • Check if the hosting supports the required technologies (PHP, Node.js, WordPress, etc.).

🔹 Step 3. Planning the site structure

  • Create a site map: home page, categories, subpages.
  • Think through the navigation logic so that the user can quickly find the information they need.
  • Determine which blocks will be required: menu, footer, contacts, feedback form.

🔹 Step 4. Choosing a platform or CMS

  • WordPress — a universal solution for blogs, corporate websites, and online stores.
  • Tilda / Wix — quick start without deep technical knowledge.
  • Custom development — individual development for complex projects.
  • Consider scalability: will the site be able to grow with the business?

🔹 Step 5. Design and UX

  • Use modern UI trends: minimalism, adaptability, fast loading.
  • Make sure the site displays correctly on mobile devices.
  • Add elements of trust: reviews, certificates, clear contacts.

🔹 Step 6. Filling with content

  • Create texts that respond to user requests.
  • Use SEO keywords to promote in search engines.
  • Add high-quality photos and graphics that reinforce the message.

🔹 Step 7. Technical optimization

  • Set up an SSL certificate for security.
  • Optimize loading speed (caching, code minification, image optimization).
  • Check the site for errors: 404, incorrect paths, duplicate pages.

🔹 Step 8. Testing

  • Check the operation of forms, buttons, integrations (payment systems, CRM).
  • Test your site on different browsers and devices.
  • Engage multiple users for real feedback.

🔹 Step 9. Launch and analytics

  • Publish the site and add it to Google Search Console.
  • Connect Google Analytics or other systems to track user behavior.
  • Set up goals: conversions, clicks, completed forms.

🔹 Step 10. Support and development

  • Update content regularly.
  • Implement new features according to audience needs.
  • Use A/B tests to improve UX and conversions.
