Summary

You can build a website yourself with tools like Wix, Squarespace, or no-code platforms like Bubble, but it's essential to know some skills and tricks beforehand. To start, do preliminary research on your target market to understand their needs and pain points. Then, plan your user interface (UI) and user experience (UX), which will determine how visitors interact with your site. Next, decide if you need a database to store data about visitors, and choose your tech "stack," including the front end, back end, payment processor, and native app wrapper. After that, select a website name and purchase a domain name. Design your home page and other pages using visual tools or coding, and improve your site's search engine optimization (SEO) to increase visibility. Finally, test your site with beta testers to identify bugs and gather feedback before launching it to the public.
