[mdsojolh43]

If you plan to use third-party cookies or set up forms on your website to generate leads, quotes, newsletter subscriptions, you must absolutely integrate the legal constraints. And this from the creation of your website.

As you probably know, the collection and use of personal data is subject to increasingly strict legal frameworks: GDPR, ePrivacy directive, CCPA, etc. If you plan to collect personal data via your site, you must comply with the website's legal notices and have a strict confidentiality policy. The CNIL is particularly vigilant on these points and is increasing compliance checks.

Several actions must be implemented when creating your website: setting up a cookie banner if you use cookies, creating a CGU – CGV page, optimizing collection forms, etc.

You have two options:

Call on a personal data protection expert (lawyer, Data Protection Officer, etc.)
Opt for a software solution that allows you to manage compliance independently.

Step #5: Choose a hosting provider
For your site to work, you need to host it somewhere. The type of hosting you choose depends on the number of visitors. The more visitors you have, the higher the rates will be.

There are 4 types of accommodation:

Shared servers : you share a server with other sites. These are the cheapest paid offers, but also the most limited.
Virtual servers ( VPS): you also share space with other sites, but you can host more visitors. You have control over the configuration of your virtual server and its modules. They therefore offer greater flexibility.
Dedicated servers : you own your own server. You are therefore completely free to configure the server according to your needs and manage its maintenance. Ideal for high traffic sites.
Free servers : These are offered by the website builder sites listed above. So: if you choose a website builder (Wix, Squarespace, Weebly), you don't have to worry about hosting. This section only concerns you if you kenya whatsapp data want to create a site using a CMS like WordPress.
To start, it is better to start with a shared server. Once you know what your traffic is, you can move to a virtual server and so on depending on the number of visitors.

Step #6: Choose a template (or theme)

Squarespace Templates
The template you choose will determine the visual appearance of your website. You don't need to hire a web designer to get started. You'll need to get feedback from your visitors before you know what to improve.

If you choose WordPress, you will find great templates on WooThemes or Mojo Marketplace . If you choose another platform, you will have a great selection of designs to choose from.

Wix has the largest library of templates (over 500, all responsive design).
Squarespace has the most aesthetic and original templates.
Weebly allows access to the code to customize your theme, but its template library is less extensive than that of its competitors.
Step #7: Consider the logo
Your logo is very important. It must be in line with your DNA. It must be in your colors.

You have two ways to create a logo:

You hire a professional. Several sites offer to put you in touch with designers. This is the case of 99designs for example. You post your project and they then contact you with proposals. You only pay if you are satisfied with the proposal. A simple solution if you do not want to do it yourself, but more expensive.
You use a logo generator. Even if you don't have any graphic design skills, they are easy to use. A good option if you want to create a logo right away and you don't have a budget. The two best known are Wix Logo Maker (free) and Tailor Brands (paid).
