Every business needs to have its own website. Many bosses find it difficult to build websites. In fact, building websites is not that difficult. Today, I will teach you how to build your own website step by step.
The first step is to determine the type of website
First determine the type of website. Different website types typically choose different open-source programs. For example, Dreamweaving 58 is recommended for enterprise websites, with comprehensive functions and perfect SEO functions.
Step 2: Purchase a domain name, server, or host
Everyone will definitely buy something, even if not, you can directly consult the customer service of the corresponding platform on which platform you buy it. There is not much to say here, but there are two points to pay attention to:
1. If the website is not ready for filing, you must buy a host in Hong Kong or overseas. The website cannot be launched without the domestic host filing;
2. Generally, it is enough for small and medium-sized enterprises to choose a host, and the price is relatively cheap. Of course, if you are a local tyrant, you can also buy a server directly.
Step 3: Select the appropriate open-source program
Common open-source programs include empire, dream weaving, dream weaving 58, wordpress, phpcms, discuz, etc. You can choose the right one as needed.
If you want to imitate the empire, it is more suitable, but the support of the empire's mobile phone station is not good;
If you want to build an information site, Dream Weaving is more convenient, fast to build, and supports collection functions in the background. The disadvantage is that it is not safe. I have seen many companies choose Dream Weaving programs for information, resulting in server intrusion.
If you want to create a responsive website, choose Dreamweaving 58, which is more suitable and fully functional. Other open-source programs rarely support responsive websites.
If you want to blog, you can use WordPress, which is more suitable for blogging websites.
Everyone can choose according to their own needs. Here are no more examples.
Step 4: Upload the program source code to the space
After finding the open-source program you need, go to the corresponding website to download and install the file, and then upload it to the space root directory using FTP. For the introduction and use of FTP, you can refer to this article: What is FTP and how to use it?
Step 5: Install the website
Each open-source program on the installation website is basically the same. Generally, you need to fill in the database name and password, and set the administrator account password. Most of them go directly to the next step. In the next step, just follow the prompts to fill in the information.
Step 6: Background Settings
Background settings generally include website name, keywords, image modification, column construction, etc.
Step 7: Content Filling
Content filling includes website introduction, product introduction, contact information, information, etc. Here it should be noted that it is recommended to use text or text + pictures to fill, many websites for convenience, the company profile is a picture to introduce, the text is all on the picture, and even some product introductions are directly all pictures, which is very unfavorable for search engines to crawl and include.
Step 8: The construction is completed
After the website is completed, it is not over yet. The important thing is how to operate the website. We will also share knowledge about website operation from time to time, so that everyone can continue to pay attention.
