You need a website—but the thought of actually building one feels… overwhelming? We got you. This is the fastest, simplest guide to getting your website up and running today (seriously).

Step 1: Get Your Domain Name

Think of your domain name like your online street address. You want it to be:
Short & easy to remember
Relevant to your brand
.CA if you’re Canadian (bonus: Google loves it)

Step 2: Pick a Website Builder

Not a coder? No problem. Here are your best bets:

  • WordPress (THE OG! Flexible, great for blogs + businesses)
  • Wix/Squarespace (Drag-and-drop simple)

👉 Pro tip: Don’t overthink it. Just pick the one that fits your needs right now—you can always upgrade later. We have some great options! HERE

Step 3: Design It Without Losing Your Mind

No, you don’t need to start from scratch. Use a template and tweak it to match your brand.
Choose a clean, mobile-friendly design
Stick to two fonts and three colours (less is more)
Add big, beautiful images (Canva is your friend)

Step 4: Write Only What You Need

Your website should be clear and simple. At minimum, you need:
A Home Page – What do you do? Who do you help? Make it obvious.
An About Page – Share your story (people love this).
A Contact Page – Make it easy to reach you.

(If selling) A Shop Page – Show off your products.

👉 Pro tip: No time to write? Use ai to draft it, then edit/tweak it to sound like YOU.

Step 5: Hit Publish & Tell the World

Once your website is live, don’t keep it secret!
Share it on social media
Add it to your email signature
Tell your friends, family, and random strangers

Boom. You’re online. What’s next?

Congrats—you just launched your website. Now let’s make sure people actually find it (SEO, marketing, and other magic tricks—coming soon).
