initial step

Determine what website to make

Different types of websites vary greatly in page structure, functional focus and subsequent operational approach. Think through the type of site first, and the route, theme and plugin choices that follow will be more accurate.

Suitable for content creators, individual webmasters and websites that have been doing content operations for a long time

Corporate website

Suitable for displaying company introduction, service projects, case content and contact information, used to undertake brand display and customer consultation.

Suitable for SMEs, studios and service teams

Foreign Trade Website

Ideal for global content, product display, enquiry forms and global search optimisation for global customer outreach.

second step

主机不用一开始就买最高配置。新站可以先从入门型开始，大多数正式网站更适合均衡型，只有高流量、电商或业务系统才需要优先看进阶型。

Entry-level mainframe

新手 / 低预算

适合刚开始建站、预算有限、内容量不大的博客、作品集和展示型网站。

common problems

Before you start building, read the FAQs here!

If you're doing a website for the first time, or aren't sure which step to look at first, start with these FAQs.

What should be the first step for a newbie to make a website?

Determine the purpose and goals of your website first, then choose the right way to build your website. After the direction is clear, it will save more time to consider domain names, hosting, programmes, themes and plugins.

Do I have to use WordPress to make a website?

Not necessarily; WordPress is suitable for most content sites, enterprise sites, and long-running sites, but if you're more concerned about speed of launch and maintenance costs, you may also want to consider an online site-building platform or a lighter-weight solution.

Domain name, hosting, theme and plugin, which should I buy first?

Usually the website building programme is determined first, then the domain name is registered and the hosting is purchased. After the website programme is installed, then the appropriate themes and plug-ins are selected according to the type of website, so that the order will be clearer.

Do you still need to focus on AI tools when you make a website these days?

Need. Nowadays, both WordPress and online website building platforms are paying more and more attention to the role of AI in copywriting, page generation, image processing and website building efficiency. Using AI as a support tool will be more suitable for the current website building process.
