Create a website yourself in 6 easy steps

1

Set up a plan

Before you dive into the design of your website, you should lay out a plan. Formulating clear goals will simplify the process of creating your own website and help you make the right choices.

2

Pick your website builder

Some website builders offer more features than others, so it's important to think about what you need before you choose. Make sure it fits your skill level, too.

3

Pick a domain

The domain is your unique address on the internet. So, take your time when making your choice and consider different domain endings.

4

Define the design

Start with a template that matches the style and set up you’re looking for. Later, you can customize the design template further. Every design decision should have a clear purpose.

5

Create content

Start adding personality to your website by adding content. This includes informative and persuasive texts, but also suitable images. You can create them yourself or choose from the large collection that comes with the IONOS Website Builder.

6

Make your website more visible

Once your website has been published, you can make sure it gets displayed by Google and other search engines. Here, too, the Website Builder can help.
