Step 1 — Domain and hosting
Register your domain and pick a hosting plan in the same order so DNS is configured for you. A Starter plan is enough for one brochure site; choose Growth if you plan several sites.
Step 2 — Install WordPress
From cPanel, run the one-click WordPress installer, choose your domain, and set a strong administrator password. Enable the free SSL certificate so the site loads over HTTPS from day one.
Step 3 — Theme and structure
- Pick a lightweight theme rather than a heavy multipurpose one
- Create the core pages: Home, About, Services or Products, Contact
- Add a clear phone number and WhatsApp link in the header
- Write in the language your customers use — English, French or both
Step 4 — Make it fast on mobile data
- Compress images before uploading and use modern formats
- Enable LiteSpeed caching, which is available on every plan
- Limit plugins to what you actually use
- Avoid background video and large sliders on the homepage
Step 5 — Launch and maintain
Submit your site to Google Search Console, keep WordPress and plugins updated, and check your backups restore correctly at least once. Daily off-server backups run automatically on every plan.
Frequently asked questions
How long does it take to build a simple site?
- A focused beginner can launch a four-page business site in a weekend. Add time for writing your content — that is usually the slow part.
Should I build it myself or hire someone?
- Build it yourself if the site is simple and your time is cheaper than the fee. Hire a developer for e-commerce, bookings or anything tied to your revenue.
