How do I create a website?

Creating your own web presence is an important project. We will help you: Follow our tips - and soon you will enjoy your new internet presence.

Tip 1: Secure the right domains

Your website should be found. For this purpose, choose domain names that are related to your company or your offer and will be remembered. Are your desired Internet addresses available at the domain provider of your choice? Register your favorites! We also recommend reserving different domain extensions - this way more users will find their way to your website.

Tip 2: Choose a reliable web hoster

Secure and stable web hosting is the key to your website. After all, what's the point of having a beautiful website if it doesn't work properly? There are many web hosts - but they differ significantly in terms of scope of services, flexibility and security.

Choose a hosting package that meets your needs and includes the services you require. We recommend a web host with which you can store several domains and generate e-mail addresses free of charge. Ideally, it also has a control panel with which you can access your data at any time. And, the hoster should be flexible: If your company grows, your web presence must grow with it.

Finally, the security of your web hosting is central: With Green, the data of your website is located in a Swiss data center - and should you encounter any difficulties, the Swiss support will help you. A very important aspect for a website that you will work with for a long time.

Tip 3: Build an attractive website

Domains secured, web host chosen- now it's time to build your website. You have two options to do this: Create your internet presence with a so-called content management system (CMS) like WordPress, or use a website builder. These impress with a big plus point: With them you design your homepage completely without programming knowledge. You can intuitively add texts and images, adjust design elements or change colors.

Tip 4: Take advantage of a design template

Instead of spending a lot of time experimenting and watching YouTube tutorials, it's best to use a design template. These templates are ready to use, work flawlessly, and you can easily customize them. The Website-Builder from Green provides you with 200 design templates, for example. Choose the layout that suits you and your offer. Then it's time to get started! Get creative and fill the template according to your wishes.

Tip 5: Put the finishing touches on your website

Your website has an appealing design, attractive images and convincing texts? Very good! Then it's time for the finishing touches. You probably know that the positioning of a website in the search results is crucial for success. The optimization of your Internet presence - the so-called Search Engine Optimization (SEO) - has it all. With additional measures, you can help your website to move up in the Google & Co. rankings.

Tip 6: Carry out the final check

Your website is one of your most prominent external appearances. Therefore, make sure that everything fits perfectly. To do this, click through your website again: Does every link work? Do you like the design? Are the texts and images attractive? Have someone else check your website - because four eyes see more than two, as we all know.

Tip 7: Publish your website

Now your website is ready for the big show: time to publish it! Enjoy the moment and toast the completion of your web project.
