• Website: The most common form of online presence is a
website. A website should provide information to explain
what a brand or business does.

• Some businesses include e-commerce functions in their


website so customers can buy in an online store using a credit
card or an online payment system such as PayPal.

• Blog: A blog is a type of online journal that is regularly


updated with content, known as posts. Businesses often
include blogs as part of the overall website, as blogs are much

appropriate to your business name, and easy to remember.

• Register with a website hosting service - You also need to register with a
website hosting service who will host your website on a web server. This server
is where all the files and folders that make up your website will live. Often, a
hosting provider is the same service you can use to register the web address.

• Design the site: Consider the design elements of your site. Consider the
purpose of the website by including designing the structure of the website:
the hierarchy of different pages and sections based on how a user would
navigate it.

• Build the site: After the design stage, the website needs to be developed.
You can develop the web pages and content yourself, or hire a web
developer. Before going live, the site must be tested on different browsers
and devices, and all internal links checked.
