http://www.teachingeslonline.com/resources-teaching-english-online – I introduce three ways that you can build your first website for your online teaching business.
/// WordPress (The All-in-One solution) ///
My first recommendation is WordPress.
This gives you the greatest customization moving forward. The good news is that there are so many themes that you can use for your website, including one-page designs (perfect for throwing something up there).
I have a free tutorial on how to get started with WordPress here: http://www.teachingeslonline.com/build-website-wordpress/
/// LeadPages (The Easiest Way to Get Started) ///
I use LeadPages on this site and for my learners. Mainly, I utilize it for landing pages, thank you pages, webinar pages etc.
However, you can use it to have your first online presence. You don’t need hosting for this (although, you could host it on your site) as you can host it on the LeadPage’s server – it will be like this: yourname.leadpages.net.
Once your main website is ready, you can redirect traffic from LeadPages to your site.
This is for those who want a good-looking site with minimal effort.

/// A Website Builder (The Middle Option) ///
I created my first site using Yola.
This is a website builder that makes it easy to create your website.
Other options include Weebly, Wix, and SquareSpace.
The upside of using one of these services is that you don’t need to worry about the technical side of things.
The downside is that you give up some control and it usually ends up being more expensive.
You could always start with this option or LeadPages and then move over to WordPress when you’re ready.
