Creating a website takes a lot of planning and some knowledge, a good platform to build on is the CMS WordPress.
DNS and Domain Configuration
To start, you must have a domain name. This is the name you type into your browser to go to a specific website. You can rent for a yearly fee from ICANN, and others depending on the suffix. And when you have this domain name it needs to point to a certain computer, a certain hard disk holding a certain database. Which happens to be your website. So it’s kind of the postal code and the routing of the traffic of your website. I can assist you with setting this up.
SSL & Encryption
Keeping things safe and secure is great when doing business. SSL & Captcha are great tools for this. the SSL certificate is a guarantee that your connection to a website is 1.) encrypted.2) authentic 3.) The data integrity is guaranteed. This is done by the certificate that comes from a reputable party, which can vouch for the authenticity of your page and its content + encryption because of a secret key that is installed on the website. It’s the digital equivalent of a secret handshake. Of course, there are various levels of encryption from pedestrian to military level paranoid. I can help you set this up to a level that would suffice for your business.
CAPTCHA & E-mail Server Management
Having your own email address tied to a domain name is great, as you can keep business and personal neatly separated, and it just looks a lot more professional than @hotmail or @gmail. But setting up an email server is a delicate balancing act, to tighten spam filters you will not get any mail, and no filter and half the internet will find you and bestow upon you all manner of “wonderful” offers to downright phishing emails. Finding this balance is something I can help you achieve. As well as set up all manner of email addresses tied to your web address.
In recent years bots have become a menace to unprotected forms on contact pages. Not receiving nonsense emails in your business inbox is such a liberating feeling, and half the bots on the internet seem hell-bent on denying this to most business owners via automated, artificially intelligent means. Luckily, a new technology has emerged besides them. Which can also be set to several levels of severity. This technology is called a CAPTCHA, and you see this most often as a little test you have to perform to be able to send a form, to verify your humanity before sending in your message. This also comes in a few shapes and sizes and I can help you configure this to help combat automated spam and phishing in your business inbox.
Database creation and WordPress installation
to start a WordPress website, you first need to create or organize a database in which it can store all its components. Such as images, texts, posts, and pages. This is often done in the back of a hosting account with an ISP. I can help you with this part as well. And then the actual WordPress website can be built. In the sense of making pages, uploading images, and installing plugins. for content creation and or localisation I offer my services. But I can also fill this website with content created by you or things you have on hand.
Look and Feel of Your Website
one of the major advantages of WordPress is that it has a vast library of paid themes you can choose from. Meaning, there will be one you like or that matches your company theme 9/10 times. If not, a costume theme can be developed.
