Most website projects go through these steps:
- Make a plan for your website’s structure and content
- Register a domain name – ideally pick a .com
- Find a website builder (or CMS/hosting provider) to create your site
- Optimize it for search engines
- Launch your website
Identify the type of website you want to create
Websites come in all shapes and sizes. Here are the most common ones:
Very small websites
An example of a very small website would be an online portfolio or resume. A typical use-case would be a copywriter, translator or illustrator showcasing some references, contact information and an ‘about us’ page. Usually these websites have around seven pages or less. It could even be a one-pager website, where you display all the information on a single page.
