Choose What Platform Your Site Is Going To Be Built On
First
thing you need to do is choose what website platform to build your website on.
There are many different CMS (content management systems) to choose from and
choosing the right platform is top priority. You don’t want to start building
your site on a CMS platform to find out that it’s totally wrong for you and
your site.
Building out your own a fully functioning and
nicely designed website isn’t rocket science. It’s quite easy actually, even
for a complete novice who hasn’t had very much experience with computers. But
you can get into trouble when you don’t choose the right website building
platform.
Some platforms require you to know a little
bit of HTML / CSS or other coding languages, so you really need to decide where
you are at in terms of website building ability. If you are a beginner then you
would be best to choose WordPress.
Benefits of WordPress

Friendly
TheWordPress platform is so easy to use. It’s intuitive and if you know how to use
standard Microsoft programs such as Word or Excel, then chances are you’ll
already know how to publish your own content on the site you’re about to build.
Another great thing about WordPress is that it
can be easily customized with plugins, that can pretty much do anything to your
site and make it exactly how you want it. You might want just a simple small
business website or a complex e-com site with hundreds of products. WP can
handle this.

for many of the busiest websites in the world. It can handle pretty much

it’s really important to have a site that is responsive to these digital
demands. With WordPress, most themes come mobile friendly as standard.
