At this point hopefully you have selected your website theme, color scheme and provided us all of the assets you’d like to have on your website such as Text, Images, Videos, etc… The next steps walk you through which products to purchase that are needed for your website to exist. We should have already talked about everything here, but if you get stuck, feel free to reach out for questions or concerns.
1. Buy your Domain….
- Go to https://smallbizniz.com/business-tools/domains/ type in the domain name, click search.

- You may be brought to a screen that asks if you want to add privacy to your domain (view the details to decide if you want to add it.)
- Once your options are selected click the blue continue to cart button
- You will be brought to the cart, make sure that you set the correct term (the number of months) for the domain. You can go up to 60 months for some products.
