From idea to website: Starting your own business made easy

Starting your own business is an exciting time full of opportunities and challenges. A professional website is often the first point of contact for potential customers. It is not only your digital business card, but also a powerful tool for promoting your business. Especially if you don't have a technical background, terms like CMS, hosting or domain can be confusing. We'll explain what's important and how to overcome these challenges.

CMS, hosting and domain - what do they mean?

If you want to create a website, you will quickly come across terms such as CMS, hosting and domain. Here is a brief explanation:

• CMS (Content Management System): A CMS is software that allows you to manage content such as text or images on your website. We only use systems that are easy for you to use.
• Hosting: Hosting ensures that your website is accessible online. You rent space on a server.
• Domain: This is the address of your website, for example www.gyden.io. It should be memorable and reflect your business.

If these technical details seem too complicated for you, we offer an all-inclusive service that takes the pressure off and guarantees a hassle-free implementation. And if you want to know more, you can find helpful explanations of these and other terms in our glossary.

Website builder or professional agency?

Many people new to self-employment turn to website builders such as Wix or Squarespace. These tools are easy to use, but often offer limited options if you want your website to grow with your business. Our approach at Gyden is different: we rely on a lean code base that gives you maximum flexibility. Whether you want to add an online shop or integrate new features at a later date, we ensure that your website remains extensible and future-proof. We also offer bespoke solutions to meet your specific requirements.

Why professional UX design matters

User experience (UX) design is more than just good looks. It's about making sure your visitors can navigate your site, find the information they need quickly, and have a positive experience. Professional UX design plays a central role in the development of your website. We follow best practices to ensure a clear structure, intuitive operation and a high level of usability. Best of all, professional UX design is always included.

Relevant content made easy

A website without content is like a shop without products. But what is the right content? Basically, it should be written by you to convey the right feeling and personality. However, we are happy to advise you on the right content and help you create and optimise it - both in terms of content and SEO. This is how we ensure that your copy:

• Present your offer clearly.
• Speak the language of your target audience.
• Are SEO-optimised so you can be found online.

Success stories, FAQs or blog posts can help build trust and demonstrate expertise.
