Building a Website

GoDaddy
Purchase your domain name(s) and hosting.  
Go to www.godaddy.com and start running your domain name ideas through their
domain search tool to find the perfect web address for your site.  
https://ca.godaddy.com/

WordPress
Beautiful blogs and websites are created with wordpress. You can easily create posts and pages without a lot of thinking involved. And it allows a lot of flexibility, plug in’s and widgets to customize your site.  Purchasing dedicated wordpress hosting is best to avoid site loading lags and page navigation delays.

You have to be on top of backups, updates for the theme, updates of the wordpress version, and all associated plug ins for everything to work efficiently.  The only downside to wordpress is that there is no help if things go wrong.  If you choose wordpress, ensure you get wordpress specific hosting vs regular hosting to avoid issues with speed.  Quick loading of your pages is critical to keeping people on your site.

StudioPress Themes (wordpress)
Studiopress has a framework called Genesis which is the underlying structure of all of their themes. It contains a basic layout and colors. Then you can purchase a child theme (think colors, fonts, features) to put on top of Genesis to make it look even snazzier.

Weebly
Intuitive drag and drop website builder that can literally have you up and running over a weekend.  Has a built in shopping cart option that can easily integrate with Square or Stripe for direct credit card payments, and also integrates with PayPal.

Weebly has a membership area option, and blogging functionality.

You can create a free site, but it is limited as far as the available features go, and it has a weebly extension as the URL with weebly branding.   We recommend going with a paid weebly site for your business.

Google Analytics
If you want to keep an eye on who visits your site, what links they are clicking on, and where your traffic is coming from, this is a great tool for tracking those types of stats.  Create a free google account for access to this valuable resource.
