Build the website yourself, what parts are involved?
If you want a website for a minimal investment, you have to work on it yourself, with some homework anyone can set up a website. You can do this with the help of some software, the hosting space you get when you buy a package is a blank canvas. Most users and webmasters choose not to set up the website entirely by themselves, writing code. But rather to use a content management system. Such a system allows you not only to manage the content of your website. But also more and more to manage the entire website. From the appearance or the front end to the content and much more. There are a number of different content management systems, which we will briefly explain below.
Choosing a website content management system
The content management systems supported by MijnHostingPartner.nl are open source or free to use, of course there is also closed source. But they keep hosting on their own platforms. The most popular content management systems are easy to use, fast and suitable for many different types of websites. Examples are WordPress, Drupal, Joomla, Pico or Umbraco. The list can go on and on, and if you take a look at the knowledge base, you will find many different options as well. If you want to choose a content management system, you can always test it with a subdomain before making the final decision. Most beginners start with the WordPress content management system, as a theme and a plug-in are easy to install. This allows you to visually customize the entire website right away.
And last but not least, the content of a WordPress website can be created in the same way as, for example, a Word document. And therefore familiar to almost everyone.
Design your own look and feel
The look and feel of a website can be designed within WordPress using a pre-built theme. Just check out the new themes in the admin panel after installing WordPress. Thousands of free themes are available. Always pay attention to the number of ratings and update frequency of the themes. This is important for the security, speed and overall reliability of your website.
With a theme you can change the layout of your website with the click of a button, all elements are changed at once. Like the font, the colors and every single block on your web pages. So this is ideal for those who don't want to spend a lot of time on it. However, if you want to spend some time or money on it, you can customize almost every element yourself or even buy third-party themes.
The logo and some images are also easy to create yourself by slightly customizing an open source image or alignment and putting your own name underneath. Just make sure this is allowed with the image and ask the owner if necessary. This can be an expensive joke if you do it without permission. So protect your website by confirming and securing everything in writing.
Work with the content of your website
Website content will always be the most work for any website. Writing texts, writing articles or otherwise taking care of the content of your website takes a lot of time. It is not absolutely necessary to invest money for it. However, you need to invest enough time for it.
So, think about what kind of content you want to have on the website and how you want to organize it. The content of your website will also determine your Google ranking, the popularity of your website and many other factors. So always pay attention to it to make the most of it.
