Early timeline of a website
The timeline of a website can sometimes seem like a steep mountain, however, it is always better to start sooner than later! With MijnHostingPartner.nl you can quickly take that first step on the internet for a competitive price. And make sure you bring your business or vision online with a website! In this blog post let's look at what this looks like for most websites and what you might expect.
A website can involve a lot of work, however, how much effort and work you put into it is also up to you. For example, do you want a solid website and leave the further visitors to advertisements? Then this can be less work than if you want to bring in visitors exclusively through search engines and natural results. There are also natural results to be gained through social media and paid traffic. It all depends on your budget and the revenue model of your website. Furthermore, in creating and designing your website you have a lot of different choices that you can make with respect to technology. We will also take a closer look at this in this article. Read on quickly!
Start of a website and a domain name
The most logical step for a website is the name. This can be the name of your company or a name you invent. A domain name should often be short and sweet and easy to remember and spell over the phone. The exact matching of keywords has decreased over the years, however, it is often still advisable to highlight the subject or main focus in the domain name.
With a domain name you can then also choose what extension to use. If this is a Dutch website then a .nl domain name is the logical choice. If this is to be a website for another country and language then you can choose a different country domain name extension. Or a general .com domain name that is recognized all over the world.
A website can then be created using various techniques. The most common way is through a Content Management System, this can be for example WordPress, Joomla or Umbraco. In which you can do the mundane work just in a graphical way. And you don't have to go into the code for every change on your website. Well nice to often work faster and by people who may have less experience with this.
Website design and laying the groundwork
Designing a website can be easier with a Content Management System, with WordPress for example, a theme can be installed with a click of a button. Which turns the entire layout of your website upside down. And the CMS can be expanded with many plug-ins and other settings. This ensures that you have more time to spend on the content in the first weeks of your website. Always an important part of any website. After all, without content, a website isn't worth much in general. Whether this is content in the form of text, images such as Video or graphics, or any other content form. A website is only worth something in the eyes of your visitors, search engines and robots if it has something to offer.
So always put the content in second place after you have the website ready to use. This is often the part of a website that takes the most work. And most websites are never completely finished. Since fresh content is always necessary for a lot of websites.
First month and possibly the first visitors
The first month can be quite exciting for your new website, how will it be received and will the first sales take place? That, of course, is the question. However, without visitors, the days will still be quiet. Therefore, try to attract as many visitors as possible, do this by using your content. For example, write an interesting article and publish it, and then also post it on social media such as Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. And try to keep visitors on the website.
In the first month of a new website trying to rank on Google with the natural results will prove difficult. Therefore, give this some more time. But various advertising methods can already be used to circulate your new website, so you can use this to give your website the much needed visitors that first month.
After the first thousand visitors
After you have received the first thousand visitors to your website, you can start to see if certain things work. For example, is your website suitable for making a purchase? After a thousand visitors you should have sold something. But again this depends on 100 different factors that are not equal for everyone. With a thousand visitors you can see if a website is functioning and where these visitors are coming from. You can then use this to reproduce and achieve more in the future.
