3. Web Hosting- This is needed to make your website available via the internet.
4. CMS (Content Management System)- This tool is  for creating, editing and publishing content. By far the most popular CMS is Wordpress. In the software-built CMS market, Wordpress has a market share of roughly 60%.
5. Web designer/ Developer- You may be charged by your web designer per project or per hour. It usually takes a month or more, depending on the website’s functionality and content.
