Checklist – What You Need to Build a Website


Checklist – What You Need to Build a Website

If you want a website where you are not accepting any payments online (not an online store), don’t need the capability for people to book appointments online, or managing paid members, you will find the bare basics below are often enough for 
you to build a good, functional website to get you started.

9 Things You Need To Start a Website

#1 – Domain Name
#2 – Business Email Address
#3 – Website Building Software
#4 – Website Hosting
#5 – Website Template Design
#6 – Logo Design
#7 – High-Quality Images for Website
#8 – Image Editors
#9 – Google Analytics

#1 – Domain Name
===============

A domain name is often the first thing you need when starting a website. It is your digital address that people will use to get connected to your website.
For example, the domain name for this website is ajworks.in

Some popular domain name providers are GoDaddyDomain.com, and NameCheap. You can easily check if the name you want is available and how much it will cost, which is usually around $10 – $20 per year.

#2 – Business Email Address
========================

I am a believer of business email address for anyone who is serious about building a business.
Why?
There is nothing more effective in crushing your website’s or your business’ credibility with emails like “abccompany@aol.com” or “fitnesscoach@gmail.com”.
The first question that pops into my mind is – “wow, they can’t even afford $5 a month on a business email? This doesn’t look very professional. Is their service or product even reliable?
I know that sounds harsh and judgmental, but that’s how a lot of people think!
It’s not easy to build trust and gain credibility on the internet. When I see businesses using free email accounts for their business website, it really makes me question how robust and trustworthy is the business.
This creates unnecessary doubt that you really don’t need – especially if you are starting a new business.
Sure, if I already know your business and I’ve been using your service for years, I can care less about what email address you use.
