Step 2: Type the name of your domain
The domain name is the address of your website. Choosing a good name is very important because it is the first thing that visitors will notice.

This will help you add colour to your page. This step involves creating your homepage by adding relevant images that are text to your website.

Until now, your site has been created but is visible only to you and those you invite to view your site.
After you have launched your site, it will become visible and accessible to the public.
