Of course, the article will not replace a full-fledged training course, but if you need a simple shop, the information will be quite enough.

10 steps to your own website

1. It is necessary to buy hosting and a domain. Hosting is the server on which the website is hosted. It can be both paid and free. For commercial projects, it is better to choose a paid option.

6. Downloading the translator. Necessary for translating the site into Ukrainian.

7. Downloading the template. You can find an online store design option on the Internet. Download it to your computer.
