Businesses often want to create their website themselves and just want some guidance on what to do and of course how to do it as cheaply as possible.

You can do it for free but you will have fewer headaches if you spend a little on getting a decent hosting package (see later).


So this is my recipe for 1 simple basic business website.

All you need

1 tech person
1 internet connection

I would recommend you should choose a website designer to be that tech person (preferably me!) but whatever you decide here's what needs to be done.

1. Decide what the website is for
2. Decide who your audience are and why they will come to your website
3. Learn some basic SEO and Accessibility facts.
4. Choose a website design template
5. Change it to match what is right for your company
6. Fill in the content i.e. your words and images
7. Choose a web address e.g. www.mycompany.co.uk
8. Choose some web hosting
9. Upload your website
