Everything is set up for you as an organized itinerary - so we take away all speculation about the design of your website.
If you feel completely lost and don’t know where to start when it comes to creating a website , you’ve come to the right place.

If you have already done some research and have a rough idea of what it takes to create a website , this list can help you check if you missed something.

What do you “think you need” compared to what you “really need” to make a website?

1. Goal

If you are in the phase of thinking about starting a website, before you move on, really clarify to yourself what you want to achieve with your website.

If your business is based on services, your website should communicate what you offer and why people should choose you?
On the other hand, if your business is based on products, your goal is to get people interested in adding your products to your cart (You need an online store - web-shop).

Whatever your specific goal, all the other steps outlined here can play a role in helping you achieve it.

2. Domain name

This deceptively simple step can be one of the most difficult parts for many people. It does not require a lot of hard work, but it requires making a difficult creative decision.

A domain name is often the first thing you need when launching a website. People will use your digital address (domain) to connect to your website.

For example, the domain name for this website is websitebureau.us

One important thing when buying a domain if your company / website name is already busy is that you do not necessarily have to register the domain as your website or company name, but owning a domain that contains your company / website name will greatly facilitate re visitors to find you if the names match, so it's worth trying to come up with something original.

You can check the availability of domains at the following address:
https://www.domain.com/
You can easily check if your name is available and how much it will cost.

3. Hosting packages

Hosting is a storage unit in which the content of your website exists online.

Whenever someone enters your domain name into a web browser, the browser will download the content of your website from your hosting. The type of hosting you choose depends on the number of visitors coming to your website as well as the type of website you plan to create. If it is a web-shop (internet store), you need to rent more storage space and better data flow for obvious reasons: a large number of products, a large number of images, a large number of visitors ... If it is an internet presentation-classic web- site without the need for a large space - then you can get through with a cheaper option.

7. Implementation of Google Analytics

Google Analytics - For anyone who is serious about their business / website and has ambitions to increase the number of visitors from year to year.

It is the data analysis tool you need to understand how visitors interact on your website.

You can find out how many people are on your website, which pages they visit the most, how long they are on each page, which page they visit next, which page most visitors come out on, and so on.
Such information can be useful to help you better understand the behavior of your visitors and to gain insight into the pages you need to improve.
This is especially important since you can't physically see or talk to visitors.

For example, if a particular page is highly visited but visitors do not stay long on it (compared to your overall website average), you can explore why this is the case and improve your page.

While Google Analytics cannot give you ALL the information to improve your website, the tool is great and needs to be implemented in every website.
