Step 1: Select a domain name, register and host it
Getting your brand online starts with the domain name. This is the web address of your brand or business and your business email accounts and other identities online will be linked to this domain name. It is important to choose an easy, unique and memorable domain name for customers to remember and find you easily whenever they need your services. You may register your company name as your domain name, however, if it is available you can choose to add keywords related to your business to the domain name. For example, if your brand name is "Mega" and you are in the food business, you may register it as megafoods.com. Remember to keep your domain name easy to pronounce and spell. Once you register the name, you need to host the site. You may choose the website domain and hosting companies such as GoDaddy or Hostgator to do this.

Step 2: Style and design your site
You would now need to design the website. You can choose to go with a design agency that can develop the site for you or choose from existing templates related to your business and modify them according to your needs. Most templates provide placeholder pages such as about us, team, products, services, contact us etc. which you can quickly modify and use. It is good to design your website and the pages keeping in mind the identity of your brand, the colour scheme, the styling, font, background etc. Remember to keep the UI and UX intuitive for your users.

Step 3: Structure your site and Create relevant pages
Once your basic design is finalised, you need to structure and create the relevant pages for your website. You will need to structure the pages so that visitors can navigate through them easily and find the relevant information on your pages. The Hierarchy and site maps need to be created.
The "About us" page should provide information about your company, preferably the history and legacy, USPs, mission, vision etc. The "Products and services" pages should provide sufficient information and talk about your offerings. You will need a "Contact" page for visitors to easily contact you. You can even have a "Blogs" or "News" page to convey thoughts on topics related to your business or latest news on the company or industry you operate in.

Step 4: Add photos, text, and other content
The next step is to add relevant information on all your pages, including images and text. The logos and photos of your products and offerings, text related to your business, product or services etc. Well-written text and appealing images go a long way in creating a strong online brand identity. Images speak louder than words, so it is important to include marquee images, product images, company images that convey what you need to convey to your visitors and get the message across in an effective way. You can highlight important aspects of your text or images that stand out so it is easy for your viewers to view and grasp. You can include videos and audio to enhance the viewership of your website.
