Creating your first web project

Make something that lives on the world wide web

Posted by Billy on March 17, 2021

This is one of (hopefully) many blog posts about creating your first web project. My colleague G asked me one day how to get started in doing that, and I thought it would be fun to guide him through my process of having a vague idea and turning it into a web site.

Since there will be a lot of steps I need to split it up into several parts. This is my idea of what needs to be done when creating something that lives on the world wide web:

  • What’s the project/site about?
  • Domain name
  • Design
  • Content
  • Code
  • Hosting
  • SEO/Marketing
  • Social Media
  • Potential revenue sources
  • ??
  • Profit!

I will try my best to describe in depth how I tackle every bullet in the list above. And there’s a disclaimer: This is not necessary the best or the most optimised way in doing things, it’s just how I work with a new project. This is not ment for someone who would like to “start a startup” even though I think a startup should be born from a product and not by starting a company and later on come up with a product, and then try to find product market fit.
