How to Start Your First Website with CURIAWEB
Starting your own website in Switzerland may sound complicated – but it doesn’t have to be. With CURIAWEB you can go online in just a few simple steps. This article will guide you step by step through setting up your website.
1. Register a Domain
Every website needs a unique internet address. This is called a domain (e.g. mycompany.ch). At CURIAWEB you can easily check and register your domain in Switzerland. Choose a name that is easy to remember and fits your project.
2. Choose Web Hosting in Switzerland
The domain is only the address – your website also needs a “home” where all the content is stored. This is called web hosting. CURIAWEB offers a variety of Swiss hosting packages – from affordable starter plans to powerful business hosting. The advantage: all data is stored on Swiss servers.
3. Access cPanel
After ordering, you will receive login details for your cPanel. From there, you can easily manage all hosting features: set up email accounts, create databases, manage files and much more.
4. Install WordPress or Website Builder
For a quick start, we recommend one of two options:
- WordPress: The world’s most popular CMS. Available with one-click installation via the CURIAWEB installer. Perfect for blogs, business websites, or online shops. Learn more at WordPress.org.
- Kopage Website Builder: A simple drag & drop solution directly from CURIAWEB. No technical knowledge required – learn more here.
5. Set Up Design & Content
Once WordPress or the Website Builder is installed, it’s time to design your site. Choose a theme, adjust colors and layout, and add your first content. Tip: Focus first on the key pages like “Home”, “About us”, and “Contact”.
6. Test & Launch Your Website
Before promoting your new site, test it thoroughly: do all links work? Does the site load quickly on mobile devices? Is the contact information correct? If everything looks good, you’re ready to go live!
7. Promote Your Website
A website alone isn’t enough – people need to find you. Here are some first steps:
- Add your site to Google Business.
- Share your new website on social media or via email with friends and partners.
- Include your domain in all email signatures.
