Creation of a website for event planners
As an event planner, you often start out as a self-employed entrepreneur with a lot coming your way, and many things require a nice investment to make them happen. Creating a website can be one of those investments that you would rather avoid. At MijnHostingPartner.nl, you can easily create a website yourself using modern tools such as WordPress and set it up in an afternoon. This way, you save on the costs of a website designer and you can design the website to your own liking. In this blog post, we'll take a look at the steps involved and how you can easily do it yourself!
If you want to have a website created, the costs often start at around 500 euros, but if you want more pages and more features, they can easily run into the thousands. In return, you get a website built with the same technology that you can easily manage yourself.
Domain name and the foundation for your Eventplanner website
Before you start building your website, it's important to choose a domain name that suits your business. This is the address through which people can find you online. At MijnHostingPartner.nl you can easily check whether your desired domain name is still available and register it directly in real time. For most event planners, a national extension is most suitable, e.g. .nl for the Netherlands. This is often the easiest for your customers to recognize and looks more familiar than some more 'exotic' endings.
Also, the hosting package is an important choice that can often be quite difficult for beginners, which is why we have done our best to make this as clear as possible. For most situations, a normal SSD hosting package is the best and cheapest option. You will then have 25 GB of storage space for your website, database and mail addresses as standard. For most people, this is more than enough for many years of use. And you have the technical requirements to run a WordPress website quickly and reliably. Would you like us to take care of even more? Then take a look at our Managed WordPress hosting packages, where we take care of maintenance, backups and security. So you can concentrate on what matters.
Once you've registered your domain name and selected your package, it's time to install WordPress on your hosting package.
Install WordPress in your hosting package
At MijnHostingPartner.nl, you can install WordPress with just one click. This makes setting up your website a breeze. Simply follow the installation steps and you'll have a functioning WordPress website within minutes. We explain in detail how this works in our knowledge base and you can easily follow the instruction video.
Choose a theme that does a lot of the work for you
One of the advantages of WordPress is the huge number of (free) themes available. Choose a theme that suits the look you want to give your event agency. With just a few clicks, you can install the theme and customize it to your needs. And all in a visual way, so you don't have to code to customize your website. You can do this easily with clicks, menus and drag & drop.
Add media such as images and videos to your website
Images and videos are essential to give visitors to your website a good impression of what you have to offer. With WordPress, you can easily add images and videos to your pages and posts. Upload your media, add it to your content and WordPress will do the rest.
More functionality for your website
With plugins, you can easily add extra functionality to your website. Whether you want to add a contact form, create an events calendar or find a way to accept online payments, it's all possible with the right plugin. These are also easy to install directly from WordPress and can be used to enable more on your website.
With these steps, you can easily create a professional website for your event agency yourself. Would you like to know more about creating a website with WordPress? Then contact MijnHostingPartner.nl for more information and support. We are your partner for hosting!
