A business website is the digital face of your enterprise.
Businesses have been up and running since stone ages when hunters and gatherers used the barter system to trade food and other resources.
But since then, we’ve come a long, long way! Today, businesses aren’t about opening a shop on a popular street, or sending off flyers and brochures to let people know you’re here.
To survive as a business in the modern world means creating an excellent digital profile for your company and maintaining it over time!
In fact, today a business website has become a symbol of verification and reliance. If you’re running a company but haven’t created a business website, your image will be pretty shady in the client’s eyes!
Creating a digital profile is much more than just creating a business website. But it’s an integral part of it! Other aspects include a solid content writing program, some serious split testing, and a great customer retention!
If you really want to see your company soar and reach the heights you could only dream of, welcome to Kaivalya.me! In this post, we’re going to explore the 5 super-easy steps which will help you create your business website in no time!
Hop in, and let’s dive right into it!
Making A Business Website In 5 Easy Steps!
1. Choosing The Right Platform
Today, there are so many web dev tools out there that it can become almost intimidating to decide upon the right one!
Therefore, choosing just the right platform for your business website can be a tricky decision and you need to put some serious consideration into it.
The major choice you need to make is whether you want to use a website builder or a web platform provider. This is basically the difference between Wix and WordPress.
You see, Wix has ready website designs, and all you need to do is choose the one you like the most, fill in content, and you’re through! However, there is little flexibility. As long as you’re following Wix’s rules, you’re good.
Alternatively, WordPress gives you a reliable platform where you have a ton of flexibility and a million themes and plugins to choose from. However, you do need to invest a little more time into it at the beginning to understand and build on it.
We’d always recommend WordPress or similar web platform providers as they give you complete control, should you want to expand your business website tomorrow, but in the end it’s totally on you!
2. Getting Domain Name And Hosting Straight
Okay-do! Now that you’ve got your platform set up, it’s time to get a neat domain and host your website on reliable servers!
One key thing to note is that DO NOT keep your domain name too long! Let’s say your business is called “Sunny Side Resto-Bar”, don’t choose a stupid domain name such as sunnysiderestobar.com ‘cause that’s super hard on the eye!
Instead, choose something short and sweet, such as sunnyside.bar which is explanatory yet short!
Some other key tips while choosing a domain name include:
- Keep It Easy And Identifiable
- It Should Be Memorable
- It Should Include Your Business Name (At Least The Key Part Of It)
- Try Avoiding Hyphens (sunny-side-resto-bar.com 🚫)
You can get domain names on many platforms, such as GoDaddy, BlueHost, etc.
Once you’ve got your domain name set up, you must connect it to WordPress, Wix, Weebly, or whatever platform you’re using. Watch this brief video on how you can install WordPress on your Domain Name!
3. Deciding Upon A Theme/Template
Great! You’re a great way into developing a business website. Now, it’s time to really focus on the UI (user interface) of it.
As they say, the first impression is the last impression, and your business website better look as stunning as possible to leave a lasting impression on anyone who visits!
An integral part of deciding a theme is to verify whether the theme is well within the guidelines of the basic web design ethics. To explore what these ethics are, read our exclusive post on the same.
If your selected theme does take into serious consideration all the five aspects mentioned, it’s most likely to stun the customers within the first glance!
Also ensure that the theme you select looks good on screens of all sizes. In today’s digital world, you never know which device the user uses to visit your website! 📱💻⌚ You better be prepared for each.

4. Customizing Your Website And Building Pages
You’re nearly there! Once you’ve decided upon a theme for your business website, it’s time to make it yours by personalizing it and customizing it to ensure it best suits your needs!
A key thing to note is that the color pattern of your business website must be in line with the color pattern of your business in general. If your logo is white and blue, but your business website is orange and beige, it’s going to be of little value!
But customizing your business website isn’t enough. You need to individually pay attention to each of the web pages and ensure that no matter which page the user lands into on your website, it’s still stunning!
A simple, easy way to do this is by using plugins (if you’re on WordPress). A great plugin is the Elementor Editor, and we’ve got an exclusive post on building stunning websites with Elementor!
5. Review & Launch 🚀!
You’ve worked really hard and put your valuable time into creating a stunning website!
Now, you need to sit back, review your website and see if you’ve made some silly errors, give the final touches to the design, verify all the content you’ve written, and then… finally… hit that big, attractive button!
