 What is It

How to Create and Manage a Website through a Free Webhosting Platform

As technology advances, it enables us to achieve more and more tasks without

even realizing how complex the jobs are. Creating a website by yourself is one of these
wonders that has become a reality. With the evolution of website builders, everyone
can design a website and craft an impressive online presence for themselves.

1. How to design a website

Your website should meet one main goal. All elements of your site should serve
that overarching purpose. For example, if your site's purpose is to inform people
about safety precautions, you can utilize different techniques to support your
efforts, such as showing photos, videos, writing blog articles, and more. Keep in
mind that your visitors - as well as Google's bots - want to understand what your
website is all about in the blink of an eye. Having multiple main objectives is likely
to result in confusion, which can, in turn, increase the chances of your visitors
leaving your page prematurely.

2. Choose your website builder

Now that you have identified your goal, it is time to pick the right tool to reach
it. A website builder (also called a content management system or CMS) is a
platform on which you can create, personalize and publish a website.

3. Define your layout

It takes only 50 milliseconds for visitors to form an opinion about a website.
This is why the visual structure of your pages - or in other words, your website
layout - is so crucial to get right. To set off on the right foot, you can pick a
template on which to base your design. Templates are websites with pre-designed
layouts, created by professional designers. To make a template your own, you can
fully customize all its elements. Remove, add, or change details like text, images,
and color. Each template comes complete with the necessary tools, such as an
online booking widget if you're an instructor or a Google Map widget. You can
pick between a multi-page template and a single-page one. If your website
includes a hefty amount of content, you'll probably opt for a multi-page site. In
this case, you'll include a classic website menu from which your visitors can
navigate your site. However, if you have less textual content to display, you may
want to go for a one-page website. This trendy option is a popular choice for
landing pages, event websites, and other short-form content sites

7
4. Claim your domain name
To put it in simple terms, your domain name is your address on the internet.
It's what your visitors will see in the bar of their browser, right after the " www."
Registering your domain name is critical for your online success. Websites with
a customized domain are automatically perceived by internet users as more
professional and trustworthy. When chosen wisely, a domain name also helps
search engines (like Google and Bing) to understand what your website is about.
In turn, this could positively impact your SEO. Last but not least, having your
domain name is the first step in acquiring your custom email address.

5. Gather your content

This includes your images, slogans, videos, texts, and more. Use your original
materials as much as you can to ensure you're offering valuable and branded
content. Whenever you're not creating unique content, make sure to acquire your
resources through legal ways.

6. Make it accessible to everyone

Make sure to build your website hierarchically, using clear headers to define
the different levels of information. In addition, ensure that your site is fully
operable with a keypad, write alt text for your images, use heading tags, and
more. There are many more things you can do to make your website accessible -
and all of them will also boost your SEO efforts.

7. Optimize for mobile

Smaller screens do not equal a smaller impact. With such an increase in
smartphone and tablet usage, you must ensure a seamless browsing experience
across all devices. What's more, since Google implemented mobile-first indexing,
optimizing the mobile version of your site has become even more important if you
want to up your chances of ranking on page one of search results.

8. Ask for feedback

Whether you're creating an online portfolio, blog, or any other type of website,
it's time to take a step back and ask someone you trust to provide you with honest
feedback. Be receptive to their critique, and remember that you may not always
like what you hear. To ensure a flawless final result, ask a friend or colleague to
check the following elements: Is the text proofread? Are the pages easy to
navigate? Is the mobile version optimized? Are all the links working? Are all the
SEO elements filled out correctly?

9. Publish - and get back to it

A site that looks like it's been lying dormant for too long is uninviting and can
also seem unreliable. Regularly updating your website shows that you're present,
active, and up-to-date with what's happening in your industry.
