# Getting the right domain and hosting

An identity needs an address and a name that will work as a unique identifier. But here’s the thing it just can’t be any random name and hosting that cheap. While choosing you must first rack up your brain and come up with a domain name that’s not only unique but also represents your business as well.

And the hosting must be responsive and secure we don’t want our site to be down from time to time or can’t find help whenever we face problems regarding it. So before getting a hosting you must thoroughly research about it and make sure it has all the facilities that you need.

# Following SEO rules

When preparing a website it’s our dream that when the site is launched it will be a top-ranking site on the search engine result page but sadly that’s wishful thinking. It’s not that it won’t be ranked ever it’s just that it won’t be ranked till it’s recognized and analyzed thoroughly by the search engines. Thus it’s very important to follow the search engine guidelines which develop the site.

It must be optimized accordingly, which includes both its contents and functionality. Such as the content can’t have keyword stuffing and also has to be reader-friendly, the assets must be minified, the media must be compressed, the site loading speed mustn’t be slow, and many more. You must keep an eye out for all these things throughout the development.

# Going with the trend

Whenever designing or writing up content for your website you must research what type of content and design are popular nowadays. If you go with the current trend then not only will you attract more traffic to your site but also highlight your thoughtfulness and knowledge about the current trend.

# Mobile-first approach

Nowadays whether it’s reading a mail or visiting a site everything is done using mobile phones. Thus whenever creating a website designers have to have a clear idea about the device width and its visualization of different width devices. Thus nowadays developers first give priority to the mobile screen and then scale it accordingly. This approach enables developers to develop the site in a mobile-friendly way so that they don’t face any issues early in the development while switching screens which can be very tricky if you do the desktop first approach.

# A/B testing

After doing each module developer do regular testing to check out if there are any errors that have occurred in development. Among these tests, the A/B testing is one of the most crucial tests that there is.

In this testing, you just have to show different variations of the same template and observe the audience reaction choose the best variation that attracts the most traffic and user friendly.

Conclusion

But remember there aren’t the only things there are others as well which you must take into consolidation before starting. They will eventually be revealed to you as you progress further and research more deeply.
