It is good to note that when thinking of tips to consider when putting down points on how to design a good website, the idea is the first thing that must be in your mind. You must have already thought that you need a website and even thought about the kind of domain you  would love your website to have, and the way your site should look from the frontend. the previous article https://aiwadikat.com/points-to-consider-when-choosing-a-domain-name/ talks about the priorities of selecting a domain and now here I will mainly talk about what you need to start designing a website

Now let’s talk about tips to consider

You need a content management system like wordpress, wix. Droomla. You do not just choose any content management system but choose one that matches with the type of website you need. You may choose to just want an E-Commerce store and the best for you could be shopify, Ecwid but then other content management system allow the integration of e-commerce stores as plugins; wordpress allows integration of Ecwid commerce, woocommerce

You should consider the type of theme you want because the theme you choose will affect the appearance of your site. Some themes are not ideal for some websites

You need a domain name. The website you are going to design will have a domain name. It is often advised to select a domain name that enables your website to be recognized in the internet easily, to rank highly in the search results because good Search Engine Optimisation is what your site needs. I am attaching here the link to GoDaddy’s article for choosing a good domain name

Putting into consideration the hosting is important. While choosing the right hosting provider, you must consider the monthly or annual costs for hosting. Look for a provider whose hosting is affordable and reliable. You must be careful with cheap hosting providers though because their renewal fees are always high yet the starting fees are low.

List the plugins you will need. Plugins are important in creating a good website. There are really great plugins that are free or affordable

I would love to list some plugins right here

For forms, you may want to use; WP Forms, formidable forms, jotforms

For Search Engine optimization; semrush, AIOSEO

For two factor authentication; mini-orange

I always emphasise on protection and protecting your website is key especially in this insecure world. You must put safety of your website into consideration
