这5个简单的步骤将指导您完成如何开始不超载的一个网站通过这些额外选项:

Step 1: Get a Domain Name

步骤1:得到一个域名

Your domain name is like the online address for your website, for example Lifehack.org, BeAFreelanceBlogger.com or Example.com. A domain name (including the part after the dot) has to be unique, so you might need to come up with a few different ideas if your favourites have already been registered for another website. Once you’ve found a unique domain name that suits you, register it for an appropriate length of time and it’s yours until the registration expires.

你的域名就像您网站的在线地址,例如Lifehack.org,BeAFreelanceBlogger.com或Example.com。域名(包括小数点后的部分)必须是独一无二的,所以你可能需要拿出一些不同的想法如果你的最爱已经注册了另一个网站。一旦你找到一个独一无二的适合你的域名,在一个适当的时间注册了,它是你的,直到注册到期。

What should you choose for your domain name? That’s up to you. The most important thing to ask yourself is, “Is it memorable?”

你应该怎样选择你的域名?这是取决于你。最重要的事情要问问自己,“这是令人难忘的吗?”

If nobody can remember your domain name, then people aren’t likely to recommend your site by word of mouth or to find their way back to you after their first visit. So make your domain name clear, meaningful and easy to spell!

如果没有人能记得你的域名,那么人们不可能口头推荐你网站的或者发现他们第一次访问后就再也不访问你的网站。所以要有明确你的域名,有意义的和容易拼写!

Step 2: Get Web Hosting

步骤2:获得虚拟主机

If a domain name is like the address of your website, then a web host is like a landlord who rents you the space at that address. The only difference is that you get to choose your web host independently of your domain name. Traditionally, you can’t choose an apartment and then choose your landlord, but with domain names and web hosts that’s exactly how it works.

如果一个域名就像你的网站的地址,然后网站主就像一个租给你那个地址的空间的房东。唯一的区别是,你可以选择你的网络主机独立域名。传统上,你不能选择一个公寓,然后选择你的房东,但这正是域名和网络主机工作的方式。

There are a lot of different web hosts to choose from, so do a little bit of due diligence to choose a reputable host with a package that’s a good match to your needs. Follow their instructions to update the domain name system to your new nameservers.

有很多不同的网站主可以选择,那么做一点尽职调查,选择一个有信誉的可以很好的匹配你的需求网站主。按照他们的指示来更新你的新域名服务器的域名系统。

Step 3: Build an Empty Site

步骤3:构建一个空站点

WordPress is one of the most popular solutions for building your own website without having to learn a lot of code. You can install it on your website pretty easily and if you want to make it even easier, choose a web host that gives you a “one-click installation” tool for WordPress.

WordPress是一个最流行的构建您的网站不需要学习大量的代码的解决方案构。你可以相当容易地在你的网站上安装它,如果你想让它更容易,选择一个网络主机,给你一个WordPress的“一键安装”工具。

Once that’s installed, you can choose a theme to set the design foundations of your website, and customise elements of the theme to change specific features of your web design. This is when you have to start making choices about how you want your site to look: is it image focused or more based on writing? Is it colourful or monochrome?

一旦安装,你可以选择一个主题来设置你的网站的设计基础,和定制元素的主题来改变你的网页设计的具体特征。这是当你开始选择你想让你的网站看起来:如何基于编写的图像集中或更多吗?它是彩色还是黑白?

Step 4: Add Content

第四步:添加内容

You can add almost anything to your website, with as many or as few pages as you want. What’s going to work best to get your message across: text, images, audio, video? You might want to look into WordPress plugins and widgets that help you display everything just the way you want it.

您可以在你的网站添加任何内容,你想要尽可能多或尽可能少的页面。通过什么工作对你的信息最好:文本、图像、音频、视频吗?您可能想要考虑WordPress插件和小部件一样帮助你显示你想要的方式。

Step 5: Test Everything

第五步:测试一切

Once you’ve published your content, go back over it and check every page, every post and every hyperlink for screw-ups. Tidy up anything that isn’t working right and then do it all over again using a different web browser. Repeat these steps until you’re pretty sure you caught any major problems.

一旦你发表了内容,退回去,并检查每一页,每一个帖子和每一个超链接的以免出现混乱。整理不能正常工作的东西,然后使用不同的网站浏览器做一遍。重复这些步骤,直到你确信你解决了重大问题。

That’s it, you’re done. Your website is live on the internet, and it works!
