How to create a web page for business step by step

Now you can save your money by creating your business website.
Currently GoDaddy, the provider I recommend, has a promotion for new customers with up to 89% discount.

To open your account in GoDaddy and take advantage of the discount of up to 89% (depending on the country where you are) in the hosting service for 12 months and also get your professional domain for your business completely free for the first year of registration, you must follow the link that is on this page:

 THIS IS THE LINK WITH THE DISCOUNT >>

Step # 1: Select the right product
In order to obtain the discount when you are in the process of creating your business website it is important to follow the link you find on this page and select Economic Web Hosting for USD $ 1 / month = USD $ 12 for the first year on average depending on the country where are you.

Do not select the " Websites " service - it's more expensive
Do not select " Windows Hostin g plans " - it's not the right one
You can pay securely with your local currency
The promotion is still AVAILABLE
but may end at any time

Step # 2: Select the domain / web address of your business
Domain registration is free for the first year using this promotion

Search for the availability of the domain name you want for your business website
Recommendations to select a good domain:
Having the .com extension - it's easier to remember
Easy to write and not too long
It may contain the name of your business, the service or product that you offer
The important thing is that the potential customer can easily remember and find it
Check very well for spelling errors before confirming

Step # 3: Open a new account with GoDaddy
Since you selected the Economic hosting plan and your free domain now you need to create an account in GoDaddy so you can manage your new products from there.

You will have the option to open your new account with your data from your facebook profile but I recommend that you open the account with your business email (it is more professional)
It will ask you to invent and write a secure password - keep this information in a safe place since you will need it to access your GoDaddy account in the future
Invent and write a PIN (4-digit number) that you will need when you request support with GoDaddy's customer service
Click on "Create account"

Step # 4: Billing information
At this point you will write the data related to the payment so that GoDaddy can make the payment safely.

You write the contact information associated with the payment method (address, address, telephone number)
Then you select the payment method. Depending on your country, GoDaddy will give you some options like:
Payment by credit or debit card (bank)
Through your PayPal account (if you have one)
Through the bank (this option is only enabled in some countries)
Others like: pre-paid cards, offline payments, etc.
Complete the payment method information by following the instructions on the screen
Click on "Save"

Step # 5: Confirm order
After selecting the correct products, open the new account in GoDaddy, save the billing information now it is time to confirm the order.

Check your items that appear in the shopping cart and the total order
If the order total is more than USD $ 12.18 you should check:
that there are no extra products added to the order and if there are any you can delete them
that the time of the contract is for 12 months / 1 year
Once you verify that you have the correct items (products) you can confirm your order
Click on "Complete purchase"

Step # 6: Confirm your email
So that you can start using your products, in GoDaddy you want to be sure that you have your correct email since it will be the main means of communication related to your account.

Visit your email account (example: Gmail)
Find the message from GoDaddy that says " Your intervention is required ..."
If you can not find the message, look it up in the spam folder or wait a few minutes
Open the message and look for the button that says "Confirm your email address"
This link takes you to a confirmation page and click on the "Go to My Account" button
You will reach the page of your products within the GoDaddy account

Step # 7: Configure the hosting
From the page of your products within your GoDaddy account you will have the option to manage your products and the first step will be to configure the space on the internet that you just rented (the hosting).

Click on the "Configure" button from the product "Web Hosting with cPanel"
Select the domain that you will use in the hosting (same domain that you just registered)
Select the data center (If you are in the Americas, select "North America")
Select the option to install (or not, since it can be installed later) the WordPress software
Wait a few seconds while installing and configuring your hosting with cPanel
It redirects you to your cPanel from where you can install WordPress and create your corporate email

How to create a web page for business
Learn How to create a web page for business that is compatible with any device and that helps you promote your services or products and thereby get more customers.

Internet is full of "nice" web pages, with animations and colors but that do not help to get new clients.

As a digital marketing consultant, I know that the website of your business should be an effective tool to promote your business, attract customers and increase sales.

Fortunately, today, thanks to technological advances, creating a professional website is

Easy (no need for codes)
Fast (in less than 20 minutes)
Safe and economical (with the right provider)
In the next steps I will teach you the step by step to create a web page for business, with the professional tools that I use in my business, I advise my clients and students.

Learn how to create a web page for business that is fully manageable so that you can modify and update each time you or your business needs it without having to depend on someone else.

Before entering the steps it is very important to understand the three basic services:

The Dominion
Hosting
And the platform

Domain registration to create your web page.
The domain is the name or address with which you will find your business on the internet.

For example the domain name of my business is www.luisrsilva.com.

Eye, very important. The domain must be registered in your name or your business, not third parties, not the designer or programmer or other people because thanks to the work you do on your website, the domain will be positioned and eventually will have great value economic and if it belongs to someone else you will have problems.

That's why it's important that you sign up with a reliable provider under your name. Later I give you the instructions to register your name safely and also free for the first year taking advantage of a current promotion.

The professional hosting of your website.
Accommodation is the space you rent online. Just as you rent a space for your business, an office, a local, you also need a space on the internet where your virtual office or your website will work where you can upload the files and the necessary information.

This hosting is nothing more than specialized computers or servers that not only store the information of your web page, but also distribute the information through the internet so that they can see it anywhere in the world.

The provider of this service must be known and reliable since this depends on the security of your website as well as the technical and customer support you may eventually need.

With a suitable provider you will also be able to create corporate emails for your business.
In a few seconds I will recommend a professional and reliable provider.

So far we know that it is the domain or address on the internet. We already know what is the lodging or space that we are going to rent. Now we need to create the website and the question comes:

Do we need to hire a designer, a programmer?

The Platform or Software to install and manage your website
To learn how to create a web page for business you need reliable software or hire professional help.

In case you have the budget, you know how to invest that money efficiently, you have a plan and also for some time you already know the experience of having a website and you want to move to the next level, at that time if I recommend that you hire and invest in a professional.

For now, if your case is that you are starting, it will be your first web page and you do not understand very well how this digital world works, so I am going to recommend that you make your website with the help of the software WORDPRESS.

WordPress is the most trusted and most used content management software or platform in the world, my website is created in wordpress and I always recommend it to my clients and students.

This software is installed in the hosting to create the website, manage it, as you need it, install more tools or extra features such as:

Electronic forms
Buttons to accept online payments
Online store with shopping cart
Publish content for your potential client to find your website when they search on google
And many other functions to make your website more and more complete.
I'll explain how you can install it for free within the hosting service.

Now comes the question: how can I get domain and hosting securely and economically?

Remember that the website of your business is a promotional tool that aims to help you promote your business, get customers and make sales and for this reason should be treated professionally.

For this reason I recommend investing in serious and professional suppliers and avoid those 'free' services that do not offer you any support and that ultimately make you waste your time and we know in business the time is translated into money.

For this I am going to recommend the GoDaddy provider .

GoDaddy is one of the leading domain and hosting providers in the world. With more than 17 million customers around the world who already know how to create a website for business, established for more than 20 years, it also has the great advantage that provides customer service in Spanish.

Also, this is a very good promotion.

The one-year lodging service, which normally costs between $ 60 to $ 120 dollars, today they have it for us with a discount coupon of up to 89% depending on the country where you are.
In addition we include the registration of domain totally free .

And as I explained, once you have the domain and hosting you can install the wordpress software for free and create corporate emails at no extra cost as they are included with the hosting.

So for an average of $ 12 dollars you can get all these professional services for a whole year.

Yes, I recommend that you take advantage of the promotion before it ends.

To acquire the discount coupon it is necessary that you use the yellow button that says "Activate the coupon here" . You click on it and that's how the process begins, which I'll explain to you next.

NOTE: Since GoDaddy constantly changes the process of product acquisition, some pages may not be similar to the ones that appear in this tutorial, so I am going to recommend that you review the video of this web page, since I will have the updated video there and up to date.

STEPS TO CREATE A WEB PAGE
To learn how to create a web page you must first make sure that you are going to acquire the correct product with the discount coupon it is important that you use the yellow button that you find on this page .

Clicking on this button redirects you to a page in GoDaddy. How you can notice is an authentic and secure page of this company.

The correct product is "Web Hosting on offer $ 1 a month" depending on the country where you are. It is the first option we see. It is the same product that says "Economic web hosting". The other options are fine for the case that you need more functions and capacity. These options are not in promotion. However, the "Economic" option has more than enough tools and capacity for a basic professional website.

Attention: Do not be confused about the product.

Do not make the mistake of selecting the product that says "Websites" because, although it says "start free", it is not free since you will be charged $ 6 to $ 15 per month after the 30-day trial and this product is not recommended since it does not have the professional functions if it has the "web hosting" option.

Another option that you DO NOT have to select is "Windows Hosting Plans". When they mention Windows they refer to the operating system of the server (of the hosting), not of your computer. To use a windows hosting requires more advanced technical knowledge. I do not recommend it. You do not need it

Can I pay in the currency of my country, not in dollars?

You see the price in dollars in the example you see on the screen. Surely, GoDaddy will show you the price in the currency of your country by converting dollars.

For example, if you are in Mexico, you will see the price in Mexican pesos (and its equivalent to one dollar for today's date).

The same will be for the Colombian pesos,
- The Peruvian sun,
- The euro (for Spain and Europe)
- In the case of Ecuador and other countries you will see it in Dollars.

Click on "Start now" or on the "Add to cart" button

Select a domain / address on the internet
Now you will have the option to select the domain name or internet address of your new website.

To select a good domain name I recommend that:

Be short
Easy to understand
Easy to write
Easy to remember
With the extension .com
The ultimate goal is that our customers can remember our address and find us easily.

If it was not available, you can try variations. Here you can test your ingenuity.

IMPORTANT: check that it is well written, without spelling errors.

Since they confirm that it is available and that it is free (congratulations), click on the "select and continue" button.

In order for the selected domain to be registered in your name, you must finish this entire process.

Open account with the professional provider
The next page asks you to create a new account with GoDaddy.

Before you have the option to check the shopping cart under the "Your articles" section.
The total should be $ 12 plus a small tax (depending on your country).
If more items appear, you can delete them and if a different price appears, check that the term of the service is for 12 months or a year.

You will also have the option to add another hosting for $ 12 dollars with your free domain to take advantage of this promotion.

For this just make sure to start the process again from the same yellow button "Activate the coupon here" but with the other domain and add it to your shopping cart by adding the two accommodations and the two free domains.

In this example I will continue with only one product.

Once we check that the shopping cart is ok, click on "Create account".

Godaddy gives you the option to use the data you have on your Facebook profile to open your new account. I recommend that you use the email option, since you can use your business email to make sure you receive confirmation of your order and notifications from GoDaddy.

You fill in the email fields, username, you invent a secure password and that you can remember every time you want to log in to your GoDaddy account.
The PIN is a 4-digit number that will help you when you request customer service.

You can save this data in a safe place for future reference. My recommendation is to be in your mind but if you do not trust your memory you can use a document or a notebook. Just make sure you keep it in a safe place as it will be access to your godaddy account and the files on your website.

Click on "Create Account"

Billing information
To complete the purchase process, you will now be asked for information related to the payment method.

First they ask for your contact information. This is your information, your business or that of the account holder.
Name, surname, phone number, address or address, if in your country they do not use postal code you can write 00000, state, department or province, city.

Click on "Save"

Then, on the same page, they ask you the method and payment information.
Depending on your country you will have different payment options.
For example, in my case, I am in the United States, they give me the option to pay by credit or debit card, through my PayPal account or through the bank.

In your case you will see the payment options in your country. These same or different options may not be present.

In this example I use my debit or bank card. I know that the transaction is safe because they are using the necessary technology as a security certificate and it is also a very reliable company that has been providing its services for more than 20 years.

Click on "Save"

As we write and save the billing information we have again the opportunity to review the order. We can delete the products that we do not need and make sure that the term of the service is for a year so that the total is the equivalent of $ 12 dollars.

Once the order has been reviewed, click on "Complete purchase".

On the next page, you will confirm the order and notify us that you have sent a message to our email.

Confirm your email address
I recommend that before you start using the product, check your email since GoDaddy wants you to confirm your contact information.

Visit your email In this example I use Gmail.
Find the message that came from GoDaddy that has the subject "Your intervention is required: Confirm your email address"
You open the message and click on the link that says "Confirm your email address"

This link takes you to a page where you confirm that it is already verified and that you can start using your products.
Click on "go to My Account".

Configure your new hosting
Within your GoDaddy account and from the "My products" page, you can find your domain and the "Web Hosting" section with your new product "Linux Economic Hosting with cPanel". Click on Configure

The first step to configure your new hosting is to select the domain.
Obviously you select the domain that you just registered. Click on next

Then it gives you to choose a data center. You will select the one closest to your country and your customers. If you are in Spain, you select "Europe", in the case of Latin America (Mexico, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Chile, Argentina, etc) or the United States, we select "North America".

Now ask if I want to create a website with WordPress.

We select "Yes, let's do it" and ask us to create a username and password to enter the administration of your website. This information I also recommend that you have learned by heart or have it recorded in a safe place since it is the access information to the web page of your business.

Click on "Finish" and start the process of installing and configuring your hosting with the control panel or cPanel from which we will install wordpress and more functions such as the email accounts of the business.

Successful completion of the incorporation we click on "Configure my site"

We arrived at the control panel with technical information about the accommodation.

Click on "Admin of cPanel" to get to the control panel of the hosting. Here you will see many buttons and many options. Do not worry, we'll only use a couple of them.

If it appears in English like me, we can change the language from the "Preferences"> "Change language" section, select "Spanish" and click on "Change" / change.

We return to "Start" where all the options are. As an example, from "cPanel email" you will be able to create professional email accounts with the new domain of your business. In one of the videos of the free course I show you the steps to configure it and connect it with your gmail account.

For now let's continue focusing on the creation of the website.

Install the website
Before finishing installing the web page we will check that all the data is correct and for that we look for the button that says "Application of Installatron", click on the tool icon, and we check that the data with which it is going to be installed wordpress are correct.

For example here I am going to change the language of the site from English to Spanish, I also change the email to the email that I currently have access to and I can also check the administration access data.

Click on "Save"

Now we see the link to the website and the link to the administrator of the website which is the domain, diagonal (/), wp-admin. Click on this link

Now he asks us if we want to use the "Quick Start Wizard", a tool that GoDaddy facilitates us to create a website with filler information so that we can only replace it with our business information.

create web page - designInstall a theme or design that fits the needs of your business
With WordPress you will have hundreds of options of themes or design templates that you can install, some free and others more professional with some cost, that you will have the option to customize to the needs of your business.

With GoDaddy, you will have the option to create a web page in WordPress and also include a few templates with the necessary tools to start immediately with your company's website.

EL the "Quick Start Assistant" seems a good option if it is the first web you create and you will start learning how to manage wordpress.

Click on "Start assistant"

On the next page, ask us about the type of site you want to create. I recommend that you select "Website + Blog". Then you select the industry or category of your business, the name of your business and the slogan or the service or product you offer. All this information can be changed later. Click on continue.

In the next window you have the option to put the information with which your customers can contact you. Email, telephone, fax, address or address and links to social networks. Click on continue.

Now we have the option to select a theme or template that determines the design of your new web page. You can see the preview and review which theme best suits your business.
You can change this template later. In this example I'm going to use the topic First. Click on Select.

We wait a few seconds without for the process of installing the template and filling information. Do not close the window.

Since the theme is installed we see that we have a sidebar with several options or tools that will help us customize the information and the design of the new web page.

For now we close this customizer so we can review how the website was installed.

Customize the content of the new web page
WordPress has two main sections. The public section or content that can be viewed for visitors or clients and the administration section from which you can manage the content and design.

In the section of the public we see that he installed several pages with example information.
We see that you already have the page of:

Start
The company
Services
Blog - section where you can post articles with help information for your clients
Contact - with an electronic form and contact information
Frequent questions
Portfolio
Image gallery
The content of these pages are very easy to edit by activating the "page builder" tool.

You can edit titles, texts and images relevant to your business, links to other pages.

Duplicate sections to make the content faster.

You can modify the order of the modules and their size.

If you want to change the titles of the pages, you use the "edit page" button in the top bar that only the administrator of the site can see.

We arrive at the editor of the page and change the title. From this same editor you can also change the link. Click on "Update" to save the changes.

To add content to the blog section or articles, click on "Add> Input".
You enter the editor, put the title of the article or blog entry, the text, upload images, categorize it to keep the information well organized. Click on "preview" to see how it is running and click on "Publish" to be seen publicly in the blog section.

The texts of the header of the homepage.
Change the color palette, the color of the header, the color of the navigation bar, the color of the texts.
Change fonts or types of letters.
The image of the header.
You can manage the menu buttons. For example, we can delete the button to the page of frequently asked questions.
Widgets are specific modules that appear on virtually every page of the site. Here we see the widgets of the footer from where you can edit the links to social networks and contact information.
From the administration section, by clicking on "Desktop" you can manage:

Settings> General - check that your business email is correct. Here you can also change the language of the site interface.

From Appearance> Themes you can install another theme or design for free.

In Menus you can manage the site navigation menu

In users you can add other site administrators for your collaborators

You can also manage the pages. For example we can delete the pages that we delete from the menu and that we will not use.

The entries or articles of the blog section.

In the forms section you can configure the form that appears on the contact page. Click on edit You translate the fields. The message that appears after sending the form.

And, VERY IMPORTANT, the email where the notifications of the messages will arrive. DONE and PUBLISH
You do the form test to make sure it is working properly.
The shipments will be saved in the "Submissions" section

Remember that to enter to manage your website you must visit the domain more / wp-admin /
On that page you will be asked for the access data that you previously wrote down or you learned them by heart.

And that's it, you've already learned how to create a web page for business quickly, safely, professionally and economically.

Now that you know how to create a web page for business I recommend that you subscribe to the free course "How to Have a Website to Sell More" to get the most out of your new website.
