Website Development: Create Stunning Websites in Seconds
You no longer need to have programming skills to have your stunning website live.
There are so many website builders that can get the job done.
If you have an eye for design like me and like the Do-it-Yourself thing.
Here is the Place…
WordPress.Org:Â Although there are some security issues from time to time, it is not a secret that most websites are running on WordPress.
ClickFunnels: Kiss your website, sales funnels, and Checkout pages goodbye. Clickfunnels gives you everything you need to successfully sell online.
Wix.com: Although Wix is not well-known, it has the finest templates on the internet.
If you think of having a membership site, it can be done with just a few clicks with Wix.
It also makes a website seem like a magazine. (Opens from page to page.) When it comes to design/templates, Wix beats them all!
Website Builder: websitebuilder.com: As the name suggests, it mainly focuses on building websites.
While it may be a cheaper solution as compared to WordPress, it is hard to find someone who has experience because of the few users.
Therefore be ready to learn most things by yourself. Comes with a FREE domain.

Buy Premium Domain Names for Your Brand
While you need to own a domain, Some website builder like Wix, Website Builder, and BlueHost gives free domain names(For Premium users).
You can buy them from NameCheap or Godaddy. I bought mine from Namecheap.
Tool: You can use Namemesh to get suggestions for your perfect domain.
Fair Warning: Be careful when a domain is free or so cheap with your host, you will compensate later. (Either during transfer or while renewing.)
Affordable WordPress Hosting
Hosting is an essential thing since it determines the speed of a website.Speed is not only a ranking factor but also a user optimization factor.
If your website is slow, no one is there to wait for you. People are busy.
I’m not going to tell you to host where I do. That’s completely up to you.
Rocket & WPX are the fastest hostings according to recent tests.
Bluehost:Â WordPress.org recommends Bluehost. Pat Flynn from SmartPassiveIncome recommends the same.
HostGator: Most people like HostGator because it offers a monthly fee, unlike Bluehost which is paid yearly.
Dreamhost, SiteGround, and InMotion are also receiving high ratings among users.
Attractive Premium Themes for Professionals

Some start with premium themes to kick-start their online careers.
Astra: I use Astra to run this website. It’s Lightweight
MyThemeShop:Â MathewWoodward Blog runs on this theme.
You can check your preferred themes here. They have beautiful themes that will fit your needs.
