You might have seen all these numerous articles: «How to create a website in 30 minutes», «How To Make A Website — A Simple Guide For 2018 »," Make Website and Have it Live in less Than 10 Minutes! "etc. The temptation to get a wonderful website after just a few clicks is huge, but let’s face the truth: if it was so simple to create a useful, high-quality product for a matter of minutes, then all the companies that offer website building would have already became bankrupt. So, what’s the trick?

1. Have a plan in mind of what you want the function of the network to be. So, basically, answer yourself a question what do you need this network for? Try to answer it quickly. It you cannot figure it out, then you definitely lack of the whole idea of what to do with your network. The simpler and clearer you formulate the main function of your network, the easier it will be for you to express this idea to your prospective followers.

2. Have a plan in mind for the function of each page. It is highly questionable what is worse: non-stop optimization of numerous web pages with unnecessary content in your online community or making your users browse for hours on your website trying to find the content they need? Luckily, you can avoid both of the problems. Think carefully how to place your content in the most effective way from the very beginning. And when it comes for e-commerce projects, creating an effective sales funnel can solve many problems.

3. Have a visual goal before you begin. You might have planed to get a bright resource with picturesque images and harmonious visual content. After all, who doesn’t? But there’s no reason to rush for creating masterpieces in Photoshop and trying to learn SQL. Formulate the clear vision of the image of your community, and don’t forget to try different variations with placing of content blocks, color solutions to find the best option. And remember about UX.

4. Be flexible. Always follow the latest trends in social media management and look what can be applied to your network, implement innovations to your website, and try to learn as much as you can about the needs of your audience. Your managing skills will come in handy for solving conflicts between the network members and finding the best way to avoid any problems.

And the the most important thing: do not expect everything to work perfectly from the very first day. Patience is gold! Invest enough time and efforts and you will create a truly original and lively community! Build a great virtual place that attracts thousands of followers - we are here to help you and get inspired with the best Ning creators and their networks!
