Plan your content: The first thing that should be on your mind is what you actually want to publish on your website. Do you want it to be a landing page with a link to your CV, or do you want to make it more of a digital portfolio of your research.
Pick a content platform: There are many platforms out there designed to showcase content for people with little to no design experience.Many educational institutions offer online platforms for blogging and/or webhosting. In all of these cases, since these are free* services, you won’t have your own custom domain name.
Register a domain: If it’s important to you to have your own domain name (i.e. “yourname.com”), then you will need to purchase a domain through a registrar.
Find a web host:If you’re using a custom domain, then you’ll also need to find and pay for a web hosting service. This is a good time to consider what features you want (like a custom email address) and amount of bandwidth given how much traffic you expect to get your site.
