Thinking about starting a professional website or blog? Here are a few ideas of how to get started:

How to Set up a Website

• Establish your Business or Blog Concept ~ once you have your business or blog concept ready to go, you can start setting up your professional web-presence.
• Choose a Domain Name ~ short, simple and easy to remember. Keep it inline with your business name or blog goals. (This is always the hardest part for us, feel free to ask family and friends for feedback!) Average Price: $10 per year.
  
• Find a Hosting Provider ~ check out these hosting links for great options. When reviewing your options, make sure the host you choose is current and up-to-date with the web. Average Price: $6 to $10 per month.
  
• Install Your Website Management System ~ choose the content management system software that you want (i.e. WordPress). Most hosts have an simple install script that you can follow. It’s easy to do and takes only minutes to complete. This is free!
  
• Design Your Site ~ buy a premade theme, find a free one or have June Lily design a custom website or custom blog for you. This is the fun part, so many possibilities here.
• Add Your Content and Share it With Everyone ~ enjoy it, build it and make it grow.
