Create A Website From Scratch

Last updated on February 6th, 2024

Do you want to know how to create a website from scratch without using a single line of coding? Building a website seems to be impossible if you don’t know how to code. Again you can’t ignore the fact that your business needs an online presence as its credibility and authenticity highly depend on the website. In that case, you need to figure out a way to create a website that doesn’t require any coding.

That’s why here, I thought to solve your problem by discussing how to create a website from scratch without coding along with the benefits of having a website.

Why do businesses need an online presence?

The offline presence will confine your business to certain areas. Building an international brand will be very tough if you don’t own a website for your business. Besides, there will be a credibility issue for not having a site. Because people always google before buying anything and thus the search query is more than 53%. That means 50 percent of people don’t get the courage to buy your product.

Moreover, the number of digital buyers is increasing day by day. In one research it was found that two trillion digital buyers bought products online in 2020 and during this pandemic, it increased up to 25%.

Now after reading all these statistics, there should be no doubt regarding why your business needs a website. But, there are lots of other benefits of owning a business site.

Here Are Some Of Them:

  1. The website will help you to promote your business and products worldwide
  2. It will boost the credibility of your site
  3. Branding, providing service, and reaching out to your customers will be easier through a website
  4. Your customers can contact you anytime through a contact form
  5. Because of having a site, you can compete with your rivals
  6. Day by day your customers will increase as people now want to make online purchases more than offline

These are the benefits that you will get after building a website for your business. Now it’s time to discover the whole process of creating a website from scratch that I have promised to provide at the start of the blog.

How to create a website from scratch?

Earlier building a website was a dream for many business owners because coding knowledge was required. In this case either they have to learn how to code or need to hire a developer.

Sometimes hiring a coder exceeds the business budget as you need to pay a large amount of money to that coder. Besides, you will be always dependent on that person. On the other hand, learning to code is not a piece of cake.

That’s why creating a site through a content management system or a website builder is the most suitable and preferable option nowadays which will eliminate your dependencies.

Moreover, it will guide you through the full process of building a website that will be 100% beginner-friendly. Here I will disclose those steps to building a website. So let’s get started without further ado.

Step 1: Domain Name Selection

At first, you need to select a domain name for your website. A domain name can be addressed as an identity for your website by that your customers will reach you. It is the first and most crucial step to developing a website. Because it has an impact on your business growth.

For example, choosing Statepizza123.com for your cafe website is not suitable at all. Because avoiding numbers in the domain name is highly recommended. As chances are high that your customers will forget this domain name and forgetting the domain name means they can’t reach you. That’s why your domain name should be Statepizza.com which is easy to memorize.

Before Selecting A Domain Name You Need To Keep Three Things In Mind:

  1. When you select a domain name ensure that it should resemble your business like anyone can tell what type of business you are running after seeing your domain name.
  2. Don’t use the hyphen numbers in your domain name since it is hard to remember.
  3. Choose a simple yet unique domain name that goes with your business.

These are the things that you should check for selecting an appropriate domain name for your website. Now let’s move to the next step if you have done picking your domain name.

Step 2: Pick A Hosting Service Provider

After getting your domain name, you need to select a hosting service provider for your website. Hosting will let you have a digital home on the internet where you can store all your website’s files. Every website has this digital home.

There are lots of hosting services available for example Bluehost, HostGator, Hostinger. These are some popular service providers. You can pick any hosting provider but must check what they are offering and choose the best one for your website.

Step 3: Install WordPress, The Most User-Friendly CMS

Now you need to choose a content management system that will let you make a website from scratch without coding. In this case, nothing can beat WordPress. Since, it is the most user-friendly CMS where you will find free plugins and themes to build your site.

No matter if you are a beginner or professional, you will find no issue working with it. WordPress comes with two versions. One is paid which is WordPress.com and another one is free WordPress.org.

However, the free version is more profitable to use. Because you will have full control over your site and find numerous free plugins and themes in WordPress.org.

Step 4: Theme Selection For WordPress Site

Theme selection is another important part because your website’s appearance will depend on it. In WordPress, you will find many free themes that will change the outlook of your site. However, you can choose a new WordPress Twenty Twenty-Two block theme that will help you to get full site editing experience.

But, here we are using the Hello Theme to customize the website. You can choose the Twenty Twenty-Two theme. In that case, edit your site by using the theme editor which you can find under appearance (Go to Appearance>> Themes). Then, activate Hello Theme by pressing the activate button.

Installing Elementor

After that, hover your mouse on the appearance and click the menu. Press the view all and select all by right-clicking it. Now right click auto add pages and header as display location. Finally, press the save menu.

Don’t forget to create pages before adding a menu. If you don’t know how to add it then, read the documentation of adding pages in WordPress. Now customize your site as per your wish.
