Ecommerce: online stores are one of the most visited types of sites today. Here you can sell both digital and physical products to users worldwide (which would not be so simple with a physical store).

Blogs: these allow you to provide your opinion or information covering a wide variety of topics, blogs can be either a business (e.g. affiliates, reviews, specialized blogs) or a leisure activity (travel, food, music, books) that you can capitalize on.

Educational websites: If you know a lot about a subject, why not create your digital courses? If teaching and sharing knowledge is your thing, create an educational website that allows you to position yourself as an expert in the niche.

Portfolio sites: a website to offer your professional services and show to the community what you do can help position you in the digital world.

-Domain:

The second thing you should think about is the domain or URL since this must be congruent with the profile of your project, and also, it must be short, specific, and adapted according to the raison d'être of your business.

Once you decide on your domain and as long as it is available, you can buy the exclusivity of it through hosting.

-Web design:

Once you are clear about the information you want to communicate and what you need to show, you must think about the most appropriate way for users to see it. So at this point, it is necessary to think about the design that your website will have.

There are clear concepts that you must prioritize at this point as user experience, interface design, color palette, typography, among others; which are parameters and variables that function as "tools" with which you can communicate your content correctly.

To take care of all these concepts, the most pertinent thing to do is to look for a specialized business, that can develop just what you need, taking into account your brand, your objectives, and what your customers want.

-On-air!

Once your web platform is online, the ideal is you can feed it with valuable content for your digital community, so training to use it is a transcendental point.
