Congratulations on Establishing Your Online Presence

First, let me congratulate you for making the decision to have a website for your small business. That's the best decision because the internet has completely changed the way people do business, reaching more people than ever before. You can leverage the power of the internet to take your small business to the next level, particularly in free advertising and engaging with potential customers.

What You Need to Create a Website

Websites exist on domain names, which is like your address or location on the World Wide Web (www). So first, you need to have your own domain name. It can be the name of your business or a brandable name. Dot com (.com) is the most popular and preferred domain extension. Depending on the domain name registrar, the highest you can pay for a .com domain name is $15 per anum.

Then you will have an hosting account with a web hosting service provider. The average hosting fee is around $10 per month and for business packages, it could go up to as high as $50 per month.

There are many website building platforms that you can use to build your website. WordPress is the most popular open source software you can use to create a beautiful website, blog or app.

As you are building your website yourself from scratch, having to do all these can be quite intimidating and you can give up easily. Don't!
