How can I create a simple website for my business?

Creating a website used to be a complex process that involved understanding of editing files and languages that define the layout of pages on the internet.

The good news is that now anyone can create a website and easily update it.

What is a website exactly?

A website is an online presence, in the form of a number of pages of information with links joining them together. A website is usually "hosted" somewhere, which means that it's stored on another computer so that people can still visit your site, even if your home computer is off.

How can I start building my own website?

To build a site we will look at WordPress.com, who provide a very easy way to structure your site and maintain it,

Depending on your needs, you can opt for a version which is provided for free - forever.
Or a number of monthly packages for which you can register a domain and host your website for an inclusive fee.

From the wordpress site you can enter the name of your company, and find a domain - or a variation of your desired domain name if it is not already taken by someone else.
