Getting a Website for a New or Home-Based Business

Where to start

  1. 1
    Choose and register your domain

    Pick a short name that matches your business, and register it in your own name or your company’s name so you always control it.

  2. 2
    Set up a Google Business Profile

    It is free and helps local customers find you. Service-area businesses can choose not to show a home address.

  3. 3
    Gather your basics

    A logo if you have one, photos, a list of services, the areas you serve and your contact details.

  4. 4
    Get your website built

    Choose between building it yourself, hiring a freelancer or agency, or a managed website.

  5. 5
    Ask for your first reviews

    Ask early customers to share their experience on your Google Business Profile.

Keeping costs under control

A new business rarely needs a large website. A clear home page, a services page, an about page and a way to contact you is a solid start. Choose an option where you know the ongoing costs in advance, and make sure you will own your domain, content and customer details.

Compare options in our small business website cost guide and pay monthly vs. paying upfront.

A website you can start with, without the big bill

Aileron Marketing builds, hosts, secures and updates your site for $399 setup and $99 per month, so you can focus on your first customers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use my home address for a business website?+
You do not have to show it. Many home-based businesses list a service area or a phone number instead. Check the rules for your location and for Google Business Profile.
Do I need a business email address?+
A professional email that matches your domain looks more trustworthy than a free address. It can be added once your domain is registered.
Do I need a logo first?+
It helps, but it is not required to start. Tell us what you have and we can work with it.
