The challenge will be more difficult to meet without being impossible. If you are in this situation, let me guide you in the steps to follow to complete your project. So in this tutorial, I’m going to show you “where to start”, “what to do” and most importantly “how to do” to show a professional website with a minimum budget. Throughout this article, I will try to show you that the best alternative to money to build a website
will be the time you are willing to invest in your project. Indeed, motivation and commitment over time can allow you to get fantastic results without investing money at the beginning. In addition to this guide, the video that accompanies it deals with the same subject and will guide you. So follow along!
Creating a website without a budget is a difficult mission but not impossible as long as you know how to perfectly allocate your resources (time) in the actions most likely to bring results. For this, I advise you to have a methodical and structured approach in order not to exhaust your forces in useless actions with less value.
Moreover, to create a website without a budget you must absolutely be a fan of DIY (Do it Yourself), and tell yourself that you are going to do most, if not all, of the things yourself.
For me, the success of a website lies on three essential factors:
I find it important to come back to this point, even if I already talked about it in my other articles. Before you actually go to the stage of creating your website, you need to define at least a few things.
First of all, you need to determine your position in the market, as well as your target. For the successful launch of your website, it is important that your products or services have a unique value on the market. This will allow you to differentiate yourself from other competing websites that deal with the same issues.
Moreover, you have probably noticed that for most topics, there are dozens of reference sites and if you do not want to be “just another site or blog”, you must be able to differentiate yourself.
To do this, I advise you to choose a niche, that is to say a sub-theme less covered by a major theme. By doing so, you minimize the competition or you will even be “out of competition” if you manage to find a good niche.
To succeed in this step, there are basically five points that you must define
Without a budget, you will have to roll up your sleeves and do as much as possible yourself. This includes creating a website on wordpress.
If you are a beginner and this is your first website, I advise you to create something functional, efficient and without extravagance at first. For that, turn to widespread solutions, which have proven themselves, and that many people use. This way, you will be able to follow step by step the creation of a site, simply by replicating what you have learned.
From my point of view, the best way to proceed to create a website without budget today is to do it yourself by replicating identically the actions and methods you will follow on a Youtube video for example. Indeed, by following step by step the construction, you will get a very convincing result, which you can then customize for your activity / business.
On this subject, you can find on my blog and on my Youtube channel, the different steps that allowed me to create my website myself for my SEO agency dewoweb
I also advise you to join facebook groups such as WordPress France to ask questions if you need to or to read about the problems that other website creators may encounter.
Once you have followed the different tutorials and solved the most important work, you will have to fill this website with quality content.
Without content, your site is empty and there is no interest for a user to visit it. So, it’s important to sit down and think about the type of content you want to create, and develop a content strategy to meet the needs of your audience. I personally had the opportunity to play around with creating a content strategy in an article and video. If you don’t know how to do it, I suggest you take a look.
