20 things to consider when building your own website

Creating your own website?

It's few pictures and words on pages right?

When you break it down there is an awful lot of work involved in creating a website. I have just created my first one from scratch (well a ) template. It's very daunting, sometimes frightening, always hard work, incredibly frustrating but so rewarding once it's done.

The best thing is as I built it I know what's there, how to make changes, and constantly thinking how to improve it and working on it now no longer seems to be a chore.

Now I have created my all new website here are 20 things to consider when you think about building your website:

1. Domain hosting, buying your www.mynewwebsite.co.uk
2. Email address lucy@mynewwebsite.co.uk, gmail, office365, outlook?
3. Creating your site: template or not to template
4. Which template site 
5. Site hosting
6. How do I make it look good and not amateurish
7. How can I make it different and stand out
8. What pages do I need
9. What keywords for each page (search engine optimisation)
10. What to write on each page
11. How to write what I want on each page, tone of voice.
12. What pictures to use
13. Where do I get these pictures from
14. Linking to my email address
15. Linking to my social media, setting up social media
16. Getting content checked for spelling errors
17. Creating and connecting a blog
18. Pointing your domain to your new site 
19. How to promote it
20. Populating you blog with the first one

So much to consider. But I have done it, number 20 also now complete. And how did I do it? Minimum budget, a great plan, a detailed vision of what I wanted, who I wanted to talk to, what I wanted to say and how I was going to say it.
