Building resources to follow the way to build a website

The same is to do the site, self-built sites focus on looking at the domain name, hosting, programs, themes and plug-ins; SaaS site focus on looking at the platform, packages, templates and content material; custom development but also to prepare the requirements of the documents, prototypes, interfaces and deployment environment. First choose the route, and then prepare the resources, will be clearer than the beginning of looking around for tools.

It's a good place to start.

  • Already know which website builder you're probably going to use
  • Want to know when to prepare domain name, hosting, platform, template respectively
  • Be prepared to move on from the orientation page or programme page
  • Would like to see the range of resources before reading the specific review

It's not recommended to just mess around with the choices

  • Start buying tools before you've judged the type of site
  • Not sure about the programme yet, so I'm struggling with plugins and templates first
  • Look only at technical resources and ignore content material
  • Use the resource page as a specific review page

Common Misconceptions about Resource Pages

It's not that many people don't know how to make a website, it's that they're preparing for the wrong things in the first place

Resources are not the more the better, but to match the type of site, the way to build the site, the on-line target. First choose the route, then look at the resources; first prepare the core content, then make up the tools; first solve the on-line problem, then slowly do the optimisation.

Don't stock up on a bunch of tools first

Figure out the type of website and how it's built first, then see what resources are really needed.

Don't just look at the process and not the content

Many websites are slow to go live, not because of programming issues, but because the information, images and copy are not ready.

Don't Ignore the Basic Configuration

Domain names, SSL, backups, security, statistics and go-live checks are all critical resources.

Don't mix resources with reviews

The resource page takes care of organising the scope, and the review page then takes care of how to choose specific platforms and tools.

the next step

First choose the way to build a website, then look at the list of corresponding resources

If you already know that you want to build your own, use SaaS, use AI, do custom development or a combination of solutions, go to the corresponding resource page; if you're not sure of the way yet, go back to the Building Solutions page first to continue your judgement.
