Content management system
You should think about whether and which content management system you want to use to manage and create your website before you start any work on your website. Because: This decision often depends on which other online marketing tools you can work with. Here you will find an overview of various CMS and my personal tip.
WordPress logo
MY RECOMMENDATION
WordPress (free)
Contrary to what many people think, WordPress is not only suitable for blogs.
With WordPress it is also very easy to create websites. We implement all of our products with this content management system and are extremely satisfied with it.
Administration is very easy, just like creating pages or posts. You also have the option of creating different users so that you can, for example, outsource the posting of new content.
By the way, the big advantage of WordPress is its extremely widespread use. As a result, the system itself is not only quickly developed, security gaps are also closed quickly and there are countless themes and extensions.
Would you like to create your first website with WordPress? Then I recommend you to take a look at our article series WordPress for Beginners . Here we will show you step by step and free of charge how you can create your first website.
TO WORDPRESS
Typo3 logo
Typo3 (free)
Just like WordPress, Typo3 is a completely free content management system. With this tool, too, you can manage the pages and posts of your website, select themes and install extensions without any programming knowledge.
Typo3 is not quite as simple as WordPress, however. Here you have to plan a few hours of time and, if necessary, fall back on a corresponding course in order to be able to use the content management system professionally.
Typo3 is one of the six most widespread CMS, but has a significantly smaller community than the “big player” WordPress. For this reason, the further development is not so rapid and the selection of themes and extensions is smaller.
TO TYPO3
Hosting
If you want to create your own website, you need a place where your website is saved so that users can access it around the clock. You will find hosters in a wide variety of price ranges. There are even companies that offer simple hosting completely free of charge.
My tip: under no circumstances save on hosting. Very cheap providers often offer poor performance, which means that your website loads very slowly.
Logo Domain Factory
MY RECOMMENDATION
DomainFactory (from € 3.99 per month)
We have trusted Domain factory for many years, so we can confidently recommend the hoster to you.
Domainfactory offers 1A service, a good price-performance ratio, is very reliable and fast, which is important for good search engine rankings. I will also explain everything you need to know about hosting here .
Incidentally, DomainFactory also offers so-called WordPress hosting. The hosting price remains the same, only that you no longer have to laboriously install WordPress yourself, but this online marketing tool has already been installed for you.

Themes
Not only does the technology of a website have to be right, it also has to look good, of course. In order to design a professional website quickly and easily, I can only recommend that you use ready-made themes. This has the great advantage that you don’t have to deal with programming.
Thrive themes

WordPress plugins
Of course, our online marketing tool tips for WordPress plugins should not be missing . There are a lot of these and you can quickly be tempted to install a dozen different plugins on your own website. But be careful: Of course, these plugins also require storage space and intervene in your website. This can cause your website to slow down. Therefore, limit yourself to the plugins that you really need here.
Online Marketing Tool Thrive Architect
MY RECOMMENDATION
Thrive Architect (from $ 19 monthly)
Thrive Architect is a WordPress plugin from Thrive Themes with which you can easily create complex pages using drag & drop. We now use Thrive Architect in all of our projects and we also use the online marketing tool here on the online marketing site. In the following graphic you can see how easy Thrive Architect works:

Bounce Booster WordPress Plugin
MY RECOMMENDATION
Bounce Booster (from 89 €)
The Bounce Booster intervenes when the user wants to leave your website using the “back” button of the browser.
An example: A user comes to your website via a link on Facebook. For some reason he wants to jump off, so switch from your page to the previous page using the browser’s “back” button. This is bad for you. Because you are losing a valuable user who might have made you money.
Here you can take countermeasures with the WordPress plugin “Bounce Booster”. You have the option of storing a page here that is displayed when the user presses the “back” button. Here you can, for example, make him a great offer or give him something as a present. So you have another chance to convince the user of a purchase or to get it into your e-mail list.
In my opinion, it is really a great plugin that you shouldn’t do without.

Contact Form 7
MY RECOMMENDATION
Contact Form 7 (free)

With the WordPress plugin Contact Form 7 you don’t need any programming knowledge to create a contact form. With just a few clicks you can insert a wide variety of fields in the form.
Contact Form 7 is our favorite plug-in for creating contact forms, as the plug-in is extremely slim and is also free of charge.

YoastComment Hacks
Yoast Comment Hacks (Free)
At this point I actually wanted to recommend the Yoast plugin “Comment Redirect”, which we also use here on the online marketing site. If a user writes a comment for the first time, it is automatically forwarded to a “thank you” page, where a small gift awaits him.
Unfortunately, this plugin will no longer be updated. Instead, Yoast has put the Comment Redirect function in the “Yoast Comment Hacks” plugin. In addition to this function, you will find many other helpful “hacks” in this online marketing tool, such as the ability to set a minimum content length.

There are also many online tools for creating graphics and editing images with which you can work professionally quickly, easily and in some cases completely free of charge.

You are wondering why the all – in – one website tool, which I already introduced to you above, appears here again?

With the right means, videos for Youtube and Co. can now be created quite easily, even as a layperson. I can recommend the following tools for creating videos.

Screenflow is currently only available for MAC and is our number 1 program for video.
The sound can be recorded via an internal or external recording device and the computer audio can also be recorded directly.
Screenflow can record the screen directly, but it can also use the internal webcam for video recordings.
The program is particularly suitable for tutorials, because you can not only cut videos quickly and easily, you also have the option of using the mouse directly as a magnifying glass to make individual areas more visible.
TO SCREENFLOW
Builderall logo
MY RECOMMENDATION
Builderall (from € 18.90 per month)
In order to make the all – in – one online marketing tool really complete, Builderall should of course not be missing a video creator. This is also included in the monthly Builderall membership and offers you the opportunity to create super easy animated videos or videos with a so-called green screen.

Conclusion: With the right online marketing tools, online marketing becomes child’s play
No matter what industry you are in, the right tools are important to be able to do good and professional work.
This is also the case in online marketing.
But it doesn’t have to be the most expensive of the most expensive. Many of the products we use are free or available for a low price. Still, these tools do a great job.
My clear recommendations here: Builderall . As the name suggests (and you have also found out here in the post) the tool offers you all possibilities. Even if you say you just want to build a website first, the price is unbeatable. If you would like to start email marketing or create videos later, you can of course get started here very easily.
