Make a Website Overview

This guide will show you a professional way to create a website. While there are thousands of simple ways. Most fail because they are just about getting started quickly. Like everything, you need to plan out and use the best tools.

I work with my clients to create secure and fast websites to expand their business. With over 20 years of Information Technology experience in server administration, security and web development I have seen what works and what wastes time and money.

So let’s get a secure fast website going today.

Step 2 – Where is it Hosted?

I really love Cloud hosting. It’s faster and cheaper and many people don’t realize how much better it is. That is if you know where to look. I Recommend CloudWays. They have plans starting at 10$ a month which is perfect for 60% of my clients. Plus the advanced features blow away the competition.

If you already have host and need a better one I can help you transfer your website. This will speed up and secure your website. I have successfully taken sites that loaded in 20s and just by moving them to Cloudways had them at 2s load time. My own sites run 1s or less with a drop and drag theme.

Step 3 – Install WordPress

WordPress is the top Website Content Management Solution. It’s FREE and has millions of sites using it. With a minimal cost you can have a fast secure customized website.

In Cloudways you will have a server. You create Applications per each website. When you create your application you select WordPress from the drop-down. This will install WordPress automatically for you.

Step 4 – Install Divi

Divi Install.

You can not get better than the DIVI drag and drop Theme. This theme helps create a website quickly. While the theme costs money, it is well worth in the time spent building from scratch. Divi is a Drop and Drag program that allows makes it easier to build your website.
