From Zero to Website: How to Launch Your First Business Site in a Weekend
Share
Your Website = Your Business Home Base
Social media is great for attention, but if you want a business that lasts, you need your own corner of the internet. A website gives you control, credibility, and a place to sell without relying on algorithms.
And no—you don’t need months or a big budget. You can launch your first site in a single weekend if you focus on the essentials.
Step 1: Choose Your Platform
Pick one that matches your tech comfort level and business type:
-
Shopify – Best for product-based businesses (ecommerce).
-
Squarespace – Stylish, simple setup for service-based or creative businesses.
-
WordPress – Most flexible for bloggers and content-heavy sites.
Step 2: Grab Your Domain Name
Choose something short, easy to spell, and relevant to your brand.
💡 Pro Tip: Secure your matching email (hello@yourdomain.com) for a polished, professional touch.
Step 3: Build Your Core Pages
Start with the must-haves:
-
Home: Who you help, how, and why they should care.
-
About: Your story and what makes you different.
-
Contact: Simple form or clickable email + social links.
-
Shop/Services: Clear, easy-to-navigate product or service listings.
Step 4: Add an Opt-In
Even before you have products ready, you can start building your email list. Offer a freebie (like your Boss Babe Guide) in exchange for their email.
Step 5: Keep It Simple & Mobile-Friendly
Don’t overcomplicate. A clean, easy-to-navigate site beats a flashy but confusing one every time. Make sure it looks great on mobile—most visitors will see it there first.
