How to build a website – step by step
Why should you have your website?
Today’s world cannot do without the internet. Whether you want to present
your services, write a blog, or sell products, having your own website is essential.
Many people feel that creating a website is complicated,
but in reality, you can do it today even without any programming knowledge.

Website building options
Here are three main ways to create a website. Each has its advantages and disadvantages.
a) Coding “from scratch”
- You use languages such as HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and for the backend, perhaps PHP, Python, or Node.js.
- You have complete freedom to build the website exactly as you want it.
- However, it is time-consuming, and without programming knowledge, it is not an ideal start for a beginner.
b) CMS – content management systems
- If you don’t want to program, but still want to have a website that you can easily edit and gradually expand, there is a special tool for that—a content management system. It works similarly to a text editor—you simply write, insert images, or add new pages, and everything is immediately displayed on the website.
- The best known is WordPress (used by over 40% of websites worldwide).
- It offers thousands of templates and plugins, is easy to expand, and is free.
- Drag & drop editors (Gutenberg) make editing easy.
- There are other CMSs (Joomla, Drupal), but they are not as beginner-friendly.

Thanks to our SODEW AI Hosting for WordPress, you can install WordPress with a single click. You don’t have to worry about technical settings; just choose a template and start creating.
c) Website builders
- The fastest and easiest way for complete beginners.
- Just write down your idea (e.g., “I need a website for a café”) and artificial intelligence will create the entire site for you.
- You can then easily edit the resulting website—change texts, images, or add new sections.

With our SODEW AI Builder, you can get a functional website up and running in minutes, without any programming knowledge.

Be clear about why you need a website
The first step is to know what you expect from the website. This will help you choose the right solution.
» Examples:
- Business card/personal page – who you are, what you do, how people can contact you.
- Blog – articles, travel notes, recipes, diary.
- Portfolio – samples of your work (photos, graphics, texts, videos).
- Company website – presentation of services, team, price list.
- E-shop – a place where customers can buy directly.
- 💡 Tip: The clearer you set your goal, the easier the next steps will be.

Domain and hosting – your address and “home” on the internet
In order for your website to exist, it must have its own address and a place to “live.”
» Every website needs two things:
- Domain – the internet address you enter into your browser (e.g., mycompany.com).
- Hosting – space on a server where your website files are stored.
💡 Tips: - The domain should be short, memorable, and easy to type.
- Choose your hosting based on reliability and support. There are also services that offer both a domain and hosting together.

If you purchase the SODEW service, you automatically get hosting, and you can easily buy a domain directly on our website.

A website without programming for everyone!
Whether you’re a freelancer, café owner, blogger, or managing a large e-shop, AI Builder adapts to your needs and creates a professional website for any purpose.

Choose the appearance and structure
People will look at your website for a few seconds and immediately decide whether to stay. That’s why design is important.
» Basic principles:
- Use a simple and legible font.
- Choose colors that match and do not clash.
- The website must display well on mobile devices (so-called responsive design).
💡 Tip: Try to imagine that someone completely new is visiting your website. Will they quickly find what they are looking for?

Prepare content – texts, images, videos
Content is what brings people in.
- Write texts clearly and concisely. Visitors often just quickly “scan” them.
- Images: use high-quality photos (you can take them yourself or use photo banks where images are available for free).
- You can use video to showcase your product, introduce your company, or share your experiences.

Website launch
Modern websites should be clear, responsive (work on both mobile devices and computers), and fast.
» Before publishing your website, do a quick check:
- Do the links work?
- Is the website readable on both mobile devices and computers?
- Are there any errors in the text?
- Does it load quickly?
If everything is OK, click Publish and your website is online.

Maintenance and updates
A website is not a one-time thing—to appear credible, it must be up to date.
- Add news, articles, or photos.
- Check that all links are working.
- Regularly update products and prices in your e-shop.
Both Google and visitors will appreciate that the website is “alive.”
