More than 1,00,000 people have used this Guide to create their website.

Either you are a Student, Freelancer, Blogger or Business Owner. This FREE GUIDE will help you to create your own website without learning any code.





This simple guide will explain to you how to setup a website without any coding. This guide is completely targeted for beginners. So, if you are a freelancer or a SME (Small and Medium Enterprise) and have been planning to setup your own website, but do not have coding knowledge and don’t want to spend $500 to $700 on your website by hiring a professional Web designer/developer, then this guide is for you. Just follow this guide and in less than 1 hour, you will have your professional website up and running. And let me reiterate, you don’t need to know any coding and don’t even need to write even a single line of code.

I have divided this guide into three steps:


  • Step 1 – Choose Right Platform for Your Website.
  • Step 2 – Buy Domain name and Hosting.
  • Step 3 – CREATE & CUSTOMIZE YOUR WEBSITE.

STEP #1: CHOOSE YOUR WEBSITE PLAFTORM

A few years ago most of the people were using platforms like: HTML/CSS and PHP to create their websites but I will not recommend these platforms to you because if you are a beginner, it will take months to learn these platforms. So I would recommend using a CMS (Content Management System) for your website. CMS is very easy to understand for beginners and it’s completely free. You can consider CMS as a pre-made template for your website. You just need to provide the content, and your website will be up and running.

These are the popular CMS nowadays:

1. WordPress
2. Drupal
3. Joomla

These are popular CMS which you can use but I will recommend you to go with WordPress. Now we will ask a question that why only WordPress? Here is some data that explains how popular WordPress is:


Here are some reasons of choosing WordPress for setting up your website:


1. WordPress is FREE

Yes, you heard it right. WordPress is completely free. You don’t need to pay a single penny to use WordPress. You can use it on any type of website and don’t have to worry about paying any mone

2. No need to learn languages like HTML, CSS and PHP

If you don’t have a technical background or you don’t know any programming language, even then you can create a professional website using WordPress. You can add text, images, Slideshows, Social media icons, Contact Forms and other functionalities to your website very easily without learning any programming language. WordPress is really as easy as it gets, and is perfect for newbies to setup their website.

3. WordPress can be used for both small and large sites

With the help of WordPress, you can create small as well as big websites. Some famous websites like Sony Music, BBC America, MTV News, Microsoft New Center, techcrunch and many other famous websites are created in WordPress. With the help of WordPress, you can even create your online shopping website without any programming knowledge. So, even if you want to start selling products directly from your website, WordPress is a good platform for that.

STEP #2: BUY DOMAIN NAME AND HOSTING

The second step involves purchasing a domain name and hosting service.

  1. Domain: In simple words, a domain name is your website name. If somebody wants to find your website then he/she needs to type your domain name in address bar. For example, websofttutorials.com is my domain name. If somebody wants to find my website, then he needs to enter my domain name. A domain name is very cheap and typically costs $10/year and can be purchased from websites like Godaddy, but in this article, I will explain how you can get domain name for free.
    You need keep these things in mind before purchasing domain name for your website:
  • Easy to Remember: If you are going to purchase a domain, then it should be simple and easy to remember. Don’t select lengthy domain names which are difficult to remember. The domain name should be one word, two words or maximum of three words. You can see examples below:
    One Word domains: Uber.com, Amazon.com.
    Two words domains: Snapchat, Facebook.com.
    Three words domain: TheLonelySerb.com, WebSoftTutorials.com
  • Be Creative: Sometimes you might not be able to find the exact domain name that you are looking for. In that case, be creative and add something before or after your brand name to get a domain name that is available or you can even tweak the spellings a bit. Some interesting examples are: bckpckr, profitblitz, etc.
  • Explain your brand: Domain name which you are going to purchase should explain your area of services or brand. Suppose if you write blogs about technical stuff, then there should be something in the domain name from where visitors will be able to understand about your domain from its name. Like, I have added “tutorials” in my domain name.
  • Use Commonly Known Domain Extensions: Always try to purchase domain with extension of .com as this is most popular domain extension and is most easily remembered by people.
  • Hosting: Once you have finalized your domain name, next step is to get Web Hosting. Web hosting provides storage space for your website. This is the space on the Internet where you place your website’s files.

To explain the concept of domain and web hosting more easily, you can think of domain name as your street address and hosting is your land where you built your house. You need to have both Domain and Hosting to create your website. If you have just domain, but not hosting, then you won’t have a space where you can actually host your website.

Now Buy Domain and Hosting

Now it’s time to purchase hosting. The hosting is very cheap and costs just between $3-$5 per month. So, in less than the cost of a coffee, you will have your website up and running!

As I mentioned earlier, even though domains typically cost $10/year, I will tell you how you can get domain name for free when you purchase hosting. For this, we will use a hosting service called Bluehost. I have been using Bluehost since last 5 years and most of the other web developers also recommend Bluehost.

If you are a reader of WebSoftTutorials.com, then you will get Free Domain when you purchase hosting with Bluehost. For that, you can click this below button and coupon code in included in this link. So that you will get free domain with hosting.
