Today we have more, easy, and less costly ways to create a website. If not a programmer, someone with basic computer skills can easily create a business or eCommerce website by using a Website builder or WordPress.

And for custom website development, you can hire developers and designers online. The choice is up to you, all you need is a will, vision, and plan for a website. And website technologies, companies, and freelancers are ready to help you as per your preferences.

Of course, the first thing you need for creating a website is an idea or a concept for the website. Then a domain name related to that idea (or business), which is the unique online address of your website (eg. youridea.com or hotel.in ). Next, you need a hosting plan, which is like renting space on a server to host, save, and maintain your website’s content and data.

Once you have these in place, you can start thinking about website design and features for users. This is where website builders and platforms come in, to help you design the site and upload content to it.  Let’s look at the different ways that you can choose, to create websites.

The 4th method to create a website is by hiring a website designer or website designing company. When you hire a website designer or company to build your website, they will also most likely use HTML/CSS/Programming language or WordPress or Website Builder, etc.
This is so much information and so many methods.

And it’s difficult for beginners to find out which one is best for them. So I will try to help you make up your mind in the following paragraphs

  • If you want a unique website that has not existed before, then choose HTML/CSS/PHP or Python programming language. This is the deepest and most classical method, providing unmatched functionality and versatility. But it can take lots of time.

For example, if you want a website to look like Facebook, Google, LinkedIn, or YouTube, with the same type of functionality on your website then it’s very tough to do it on website builders, WordPress, and with the use of themes.

To do this job successfully, you need very good programming and graphics designing knowledge. It’s tough for a single person to become proficient in all this in a short time. It can take 1 to 2 years.

The best method for this type of project is to either hire a website designer or do it by adding your friends and designating each one Such as one person for programming, one person for user experience and user interface, etc.

  • If you just need a blog without hosting fees and minimal technical work then you can select WordPress.com, Wix.com, squarespace.com, tumblr.com, weebly.com, etc. These are intuitively designed so that anyone with basic computer knowledge and a working internet connection can use them easily and quickly.
