The post How to Make a Website Quickly: Your Easy 6-Step Guide appeared first on HostGator Blog . How to Make a Website Quickly You’re here because you want to build a website, and you want to do it fast. Building a website used to require immense technical and development skills. But today, with the introduction of intuitive website builders you can create a website from scratch, in record time. If you don’t know where to start, or, you’re worried that building a site will be expensive, or time-consuming, then this post is for you. Below you’ll learn the exact steps you need to take to make a website in as little time as possible, even if you have no previous experience.   1. Choose the Right Website Builder More and more people are turning to website builders to help them quickly and easily build websites. From personal blogs to eCommerce stores, niche sites, and business sites . The opportunities are endless. With a website builder, you’ll be able to drag and drop your site to completion. You can move around blocks of text, add images and videos, change the font and color scheme, and a lot more. You don’t need any existing knowledge of HTML, CSS, or design best practices. Just select a theme, customize it to your liking, and press publish. However, the website builder you choose will end up making your life easier, or much more difficult. With the dozens of available website builders, it can be overwhelming to choose the right one. If you’re just getting started in your search, all HostGator packages come with a website builder you can use as an option. Not only is it low cost, but it’ll also provide you with a selection of hundreds of free themes and all the customization options you require. 2. Pick a Domain Name In order to have a website online, you’ll need a domain name. Your domain name is what your visitors will type in to access your site. For HostGator, it’s hostgator.com . You’ll have the option to purchase a domain name through the builder itself, or you can purchase it through a third-party domain name registrar. The easiest option will probably be purchasing your domain name through the website builder itself, as you’ll avoid the complex tasks of dealing with nameservers. When choosing a domain name , make sure that it’s short, memorable, and preferably uses the .com extension.   3. Select Your Theme With your account created with your website builder and your domain name purchased it’s time to start building your site. Building a website that looks good, functions properly, and is in alignment with the latest web design standards is a very difficult task. Especially if you’ve never built a website before. Luckily, by using a website builder you can choose from one of hundreds of professionally designed themes. The theme you choose will make up the foundation of your website’s design . With a drag and drop builder, you’ll be able to customize this however you see fit. Still, you’ll want to choose a theme that makes sense for your industry.   4. Customize Your Theme Once you’ve chosen your theme its time to start customizing. After all, you want a unique website, not one that looks like a stock template. It’s important to customize all of the stock elements of your builder’s theme. This is a surefire way to get a unique look, while still retaining the original functionality of the theme. For example, you can make customizations like: Adding more pages to your site Changing the stock images to your own professional photos Changing the theme’s color palette Rearranging the text elements and general layout Changing the font sizes or font style Once you start customizing your site you’ll be amazed at all the changes you can actually make.   5. Preview and Make Any Final Tweaks It can be tempting to hit publish right away and make your site live on the internet. Although you’re excited it’s important to go through a final review process. Your builder will have a preview function that lets you see what your site will look like without pushing the changes live. This will allow you to make any last minute edits and avoid any embarrassing mistakes. As you look over your site, ask yourself the following questions: Are there any glaring spelling or grammar mistakes? Are there any strange formatting errors? Do my images or videos make sense in the existing design? Do all of the buttons and links work? Can my visitors intuitively navigate my website?   6. Publish Your Site! With your final run through complete, it’s time to publish your site. Congratulations! Once you’ve published your site online, you can still make quick and easy changes from the back-end of the editor. Have family, friends, and colleagues look over your site to see if there are any changes you might have missed. It’s now time to start generating traffic, marketing your site, and making your online dreams come true. Depending on the website builder you chose, you might have additional marketing tools available that’ll help you grow your website.   Now Over to You As you can see building a website doesn’t have to be difficult—it can even be fun! By using a website builder you’ll greatly speed up the website building process while giving you full control over the end result. Get started building your site today!
