With an internet connection, you can build a website of your own from any place. You have access to various helpful tools. This can be owed to the open source movements. Open source software is created by individuals who have volunteered themselves and they later distribute what they create free of charge. With open source software, you can be able to create a business website all on your own without having to employ a web developer who may cost a fortune.  However if you are planning to undertake a large and complex site then you will need to involve a professional. You will also need the services of a web hosting company.

The first step to building your own website in the UK is to buy a domain name. Many UK based web-hosting companies are offering very competitive rates.  For example, there is a company known as easy hosting.net that is very reliable and offers very competitive rates.

After buying a name log in to your domain name. If for example you are using the service of Fantastico, they have a one-click installation for WordPress blogs and a management system for blogs.  You can go to WordPress website and get to download their latest version and then go ahead with the installation.  Though initially WordPress was meant for blogs, they have continued to advance and they are into web hosting and manage a number of content-based sites.

The next thing is to go to the internet and search free themes of WordPress. If you can spare some money, you can for the premium plan and you can get to download a number of better themes.  After downloading the theme of your choice, next is to install the theme that you have chosen. All you need to do id log in to the administration panel  then go to the appearance panel then select on themes and click on ‘Install theme’ and then ‘Upload’ select the theme by pressing on ‘Active’ after you have completed uploading.
