Here’s how to create your own website in 6 steps:

1. Plan your website. First, think about the type of site you’re creating and your target audience. With that in mind, you can start mapping out the pages you want to incorporate like the “About” and “Contact” pages, perhaps a blog or a photo gallery, and a page for products or services.

2. Build with AI or choose a template. Chat with our AI website builder about your business and preferences to instantly get a fully functional and customizable website built for you. You can also start by choosing from a variety of templates, all professionally designed with the best site practices in mind. 

3. Customize your website. Whether you start with AI or a template, you can use our intuitive drag and drop editor to customize your site to match your brand. Your site will also be optimized for mobile, but in the editor you have the option to make changes and customize your site’s mobile view. 

4. Get a domain name. When trying to come up with the perfect domain name, you can use Wix to search and register available names, or connect an existing one to your new site.

5. Optimize for search engines. Use a suite of advanced SEO tools to help you optimize your site and increase organic traffic.

6. Publish and promote your website. Once you’re happy with your site, you’re ready to hit ‘publish’ and start gaining traffic. Now’s the time to promote your site with built-in marketing tools and streamline your customer management processes with a smart CRM system.

By following these steps, you'll be able to build a powerful online presence that drives business growth.

The best website builder is one that will support your specific needs and business goals. As you research which builder is right for you, here are some important factors to consider:

• Ease of use: Look for a website maker with an intuitive interface. Using a drag and drop editor that includes AI tools can simplify the web design process and make it more efficient.

• Website templates: Look for a platform that offers a large selection of customizable templates tailored to a variety of industries and business types.

• Business solutions: Some website builders include built-in solutions to help you manage and grow your business seamlessly like eCommerce, scheduling, marketing tools and more.

• Security: It’s important that the website builder you choose offers reliable web hosting with data encryption to protect your and your users’ data.

• Customer support: Reliable support is crucial. Check what support options your website builder provides, and make sure you’ll be able to get the help you need 24/7.

The amount of time it takes to build a website is now quicker than ever thanks to technological advancements in the field. In fact, you can build a functional and professional looking website in a matter of hours on a platform like Wix. To make the process even faster, you can chat with Wix’s AI website creator about the kind of site you want and you’ll have a draft of your website ready in minutes. Then you can customize it to make it your own with the drag and drop editor.

The cost of building a website varies depending on the features you need and whether you opt to build it yourself with a website builder or pay a developer to build it for you. On a website builder such as Wix, you can build as many websites as you want for free, however, you’ll have to upgrade to a Premium plan to connect a custom domain and get advanced business features. The cost of building a website may be significantly higher if you don’t opt for an all-inclusive platform like Wix.

Absolutely. Wix is an intuitive HTML website builder that makes it possible to create a high-quality website without knowing how to code.

Wix’s no-code website builder is intuitive to use and will cost you significantly less than hiring a developer. However, if you are looking for expert help, you can hire a freelance web developer through the Wix Marketplace at a cost that suits your budget.

When you create a free website with Wix, it comes with a Wixsite domain name built in (i.e., mysite.wixsite.com). To instantly look more professional, boost your credibility and help visitors find you online, you can also get a new custom domain name, which comes free for a year with the initial purchase of an annual Premium plan. You can choose from a list of domain extensions, such as .com, .net, .org and many more to find the one that’s just right for your site. If you already own a domain name, you can always connect or transfer it to your Wix site.
