Are you a Do-It-Yourselfer? Need a website but do not have the budget to hire a Web Developer to build your website? Maybe you are tech savvy and want to build your own website? Not sure what to do? We get asked these questions often and thought this information may help!

 

  1. Go to https://SmartDomainRegistration.com and register a domain name! What is a domain name? A domain name is going to be the web address that your visitors will type into their web browser to find you! Kind of like your address where you live but on the web! The best practice is to pick a domain name that is as close to your business’s name or activity that you are looking to build a website around!
  2. Purchase a hosting account. https://SmartDomainRegistration.com offers many different types of hosting accounts to accommodate your webmaster abilities! If you are new to web design, you may want to go with one of the website builders. If you are tech savvy and understand a little bit of coding, we recommend WordPress!
  3. Link the domain name to the hosting account that you purchased! (Some hosting requires you to set it up first!) https://SmartDomainRegistration.com ‘s customer support is amazing at helping you with this crucial setup if you need a hand!
  4. Start designing! It is not hard to build a website, just very time consuming so make sure you set aside dedicated time.

 

Go on, give it a try! It’s fun and rewarding! If you need design and developing help, Tracy Technologies offers consulting as well as coding assistance. We are there to help with the How Do I? and the Why is it doing that? type questions!
