1. Register a domain
You need a domain for your website. There are many things to consider, such as the name itself, availability and price.
The name itself should be memorable, easy to spell and easy to pronounce. It should also be relevant to what you offer on your website or in your business.
2. Order a web hosting
After registering the domain, you will need web hosting. You can use it to design and upload your website and make it accessible to everyone. Web hosting providers like us provide you with the appropriate storage space and support you on your way to a successful website. When choosing a provider, criteria such as storage space, support, server location, CMS support and price can be relevant.
Our All-in-One Webhosting Star includes 100GB storage space incl. e-mail service and free support in German, French and English with 100% Swissness.
Various CMS (Content Management System) such as WordPress, Joomla or Drupal are also available to you. A license for our Website Builder is also included.
3. Design your website
Now the creative part begins (YAY! 
). Decide on a tool to design your website.
Quick and easy with a website builder
A website builder is the quickest and easiest way to create a website. With our website builder, you can design your website using drag & drop without any programming knowledge.
You can easily add SEO-relevant tags and you don't have to worry about updates. Furthermore, your pages are automatically responsive and are therefore displayed correctly on mobile devices.
More freedom with WordPress, Joomla, Drupal and many more
Create your website with the CMS of your choice, which gives you more design freedom than a website builder. However, some prior knowledge is required in this case. For example, there are a number of WordPress tutorials available online.
With any CMS, you need to maintain SEO-relevant tags. It is also necessary to regularly update the website with new updates to avoid future security vulnerabilities. You can use various tools and plugins to ensure the responsiveness of your website so that mobile visitors can also marvel at it.
WordPress, Joomla and Drupal are available to you free of charge. Thousands of plugins and themes are available both free of charge and for a fee.

Von Grund auf mit HTML & CSS
Of course, with enough knowledge, you can also design your website from scratch without a CMS. The files for the website can be easily uploaded to the corresponding web server via FTP and edited.
This option has the highest requirements for future adaptations.

4. Publish your web page
As soon as you are happy with your website, all you have to do is publish it. Each tool has a slightly different way of publishing the website. Please check with the relevant provider.
The next steps
Now you can draw attention to your new website on your social networks and tell your friends, colleagues and family about it.
It is important that as soon as your website is online, it should be constantly maintained. This therefore applies not only to checking for possible updates, but also to updating news, contact details and opening hours.
Now you know what you need for a new website. We hope you enjoy creating your new website and will be happy to answer any questions you may have! 😊
