Your first website in an hour: a practical guide

You don’t need a developer or weeks of work to have a professional website. You need one page that says clearly who you are, what you offer and how to reach you.

1. Pick your domain

Short, easy to say, no numbers or hyphens. If your own name is free, it’s the best choice for a personal brand.

2. Hosting and a site builder

Hosts now include an AI site builder: describe your project in two sentences and it drafts a full page you can adjust.

3. Visuals and identity

A simple logo, two main colors and a clear photo of you or your product. Ready-made templates cover all of it.

4. The sections you need

• A headline that states the benefit in one line.
• Three points on what you offer.
• Social proof: real reviews or real numbers.
• An email signup in exchange for a free gift.
