Creating your own website

Making a business visible online means creating its virtual headquarters. This is the interface that prospective partners will encounter, therefore it is important to carefully plan what the visitors will first see while browsing. However, many people are unsure of what steps to take to create a well-functioning website.

The first step is to choose a domain name. There are three factors to consider when choosing the appropriate name:

• It should refer to the name or the activities of the business
• It should be easy to remember
• It should be short and simple.

Sometimes it can be difficult to meet all these requirements, but if you fulfil them—as far as possible—you have taken the first step towards achieving a more successful appearance. There are lots of service providers offering domains. However, there are a few things that are important to keep in mind: firstly, in Hungary, the registration process takes about 2-3 weeks from placing the order, which means the domain is not immediately available. It is important to take this into consideration, especially when deadlines are tight. It is also possible that the chosen domain is already in use. It is recommended to check the availability of the domain to avoid unexpected disappointment. The future hosting of the website and the domain are often available as a service package. However, while the domain is more or less independent of the contents and the functional structure of the website, the hosting service is not. It is recommended to choose the hosting service after assessing the technical resource demands of each feature of the future website. Clients often purchase cheap hosting services they cannot use well, so they need to upgrade it, or in some cases they pay too much for a service they do not fully take advantage of.

So the second step is to have a clear understanding of what you expect from your future website. Therefore, you need to answer the following questions before you choose a service provider to create a website for you:

• What is the purpose of this website? Would I like to use it to introduce my products and services and promote my business?
• What information would I like to make generally available?
• Do I need a closed system of registered users?
• Do I want to make my products/services available for online shopping/ordering?
• What kind of contact information would I like to display?
• Would I like to send newsletters to my partners?
• Do I have the resources to perform regular maintenance on the website and to update its contents?

With these answers in mind, the third step is to contact the company that will provide professional support and implement your ideas.
