If you want a website and don’t know where to start, the three tips below will give you the answers you need to get going. These will set the foundation for your web project.
1. Decide if you want to do it yourself (DIY) or hire someone
You have many options when it comes to hiring someone to get your website up. Maybe you've looked into it and haven’t found the right designer. If you’re a little introverted and a little bit of a perfectionist, getting your first website up might be freaking you out. Or at least, that's the story you’re telling yourself.
It’s crucial that you get out there and show people who you are, what you love and how you can help them. Imagine expressing and sharing yourself fully.
Decide right now what you’re going to do. Either DIY, or find someone to do it for you.
2. Commit to a deadline
Most people procrastinate because they don’t know where to start. But there are some people who make a decision and make it happen.
If you are not an extrovert, or an oversharer, and hate being the center of attention. This tip is even more important. Imagine staying hidden. Not connecting to people. Your talents not being enjoyed by others.
If this tip make you nervous, ask yourself this question. Where are you not committing in other areas of your life? Because how you do one thing is how you do everything.
What’s your deadline? Do you want a website up before the new year?
