How to Build a Personal Site

Home on the internet, Mona Lisa & 6ix9ine, 100 rupee coin & many more...

Hi 👋 Prado here

3 Things I thought worth sharing with y’all

1. Why everyone should have an online home

We all deserve to have a home on the internet. A place where we are free to talk about anything we want without worrying about getting banned.

A place where we can document anything we want.

My personal goal was to have a footprint on the internet.

A place where you can find me forever :)

This is our turf. Our own universe 🚀

Here’s how you can create one:

There are multiple ways to do it. Code, No-Code, Template-editing, etc.

Sites like Wix, Squarespace makes it easier with simple drag and drop.

Here’s how my site was built.

I use WordPress. but before that let’s get to the very start of this.

1. Buy a Domain (Mine is from Namesilo)

2. Set up a host (This is the most important part)

   There are host that cost 60 rupees to 600 rupees a month (select accordingly)

3. Add WordPress

4. Start editing.

   Mine is from Scratch and I took inspiration from over 20 sites :)

5. Things you should have on your site (Only if you want)

   • About you :)

   • Things you want to share (Blogs, Videos, Pictures, Podcasts, Work experience, etc) Remember they’ll be read by your grandchildren ❤️

   • Newsletter (the newsletter is a must)

   • Inspiration (Mine is called Juice)

     What inspired you, fav books and articles, memes, interesting links, quotes, etc.

Every person has a different goal behind their website.

What’s yours?
