Creating a website on your own has never been easier
There are other options similar to WordPress, like Drupal and Joomla, which plenty of professionals swear by. Which one you choose is mostly a matter of personal preference, and what you're trying to accomplish with your website.
Regardless of whether you choose WordPress, Drupal, or Joomla, you'll need to find a good hosting company. Some options include Bluehost and HostGator, for others see our web hosting guide.
Once you've chosen a hosting company that you're happy with, you're ready to build the website! See our guide to the perfect website layout for help with the website design and build.
So there you have it! If you don't already have a website, you need to get one ASAP. If you do, make sure it's up-to-date, with a fresh, responsive design – otherwise, you might as well not have one at all.
