Web design for the novice designer

The prospect of designing a website is for some daunting but whether you want to create a website for your business or for yourself the process can be made easier by using the tools and resources that are available online.

To build a website the first thing that will need to be done is to purchase a domain name. This is the web address for the website and will enable visitors to find the site. Alongside this, a website hosting account will need to be set up and paid for. This is a service that hosts and stores the website. Once these two things are in place a WordPress website can be built by simply using the guidance on the web hosting service.

As soon as your basic website has been created you can then begin the process of designing it by adding themes and colours, logos and images. There are online programmes that can help you to do this so it is not as scary as you might fear.

The pages and content of your website can now be added to the website but keep it simple initially with three or four pages at most as extra content can be added at a later date, so now you are ready to go live.
