My Website Story

As a digital marketer in Palakkad,I started learning digital marketing from CDA Academy. In the first few days itself, we were introduced to tools like WordPress, website builders, and branding basics. From the very first week of my course, I came across terms like WordPress, domain, hosting, and branding. Honestly, it felt a bit overwhelming at first. I had never worked on anything like this before. But at the same time, I felt excited — like I was about to learn something powerful.A small space online, where I could post blogs, share my learning journey, and show my skills as I grow. I didn’t want it to be perfect — I just wanted it to be mine.And that’s how aiswaryaks.com was born — not as a big project, but as a small step toward.

How I Built it

  1. Picked my domain name: I wanted something simple and personal, so I chose my name – AiswaryaKS.
  2. Bought the domain: I registered it through a domain provider.
  3. Installed WordPress: Thanks to tutorials and guidance, I set up WordPress easily.
  4. Chose a free theme: I didn’t want anything too complex. A clean, minimal theme was perfect for a beginner like me.
  5. Designed my pages: I made a homepage, an about page, a blog section, and a contact page.
  6. Added my content: I started uploading a few sample blogs and included basic info about me.

                                                 

iIn fact, I changed the colours, fonts, and layout many times. But every small update taught me something new.

 

Things I Faced While Building It

  1. Too Many Options Everywhere
  2. Fear of Making Mistake
  3. Designing was Time-Consuning
  4. Writing My Own ‘About Me’ was Difficult
  5. Mobile Version Adjustments

1.Too Many Options Everywhere

There were thousands of themes, plugins, and settings inside WordPress. I spent hours just clicking and exploring. Sometimes I got confused about what to choose. Finally, I understood — simple is better. I picked one clean theme and focused more on content than design.

2.Fear of Making Mistakes

In the beginning, I was scared to click certain buttons. What if something breaks? What if I mess it up? But later, I realised — most things are fixable. Mistakes are part of learning. Slowly, I started experimenting without fear.

3.Designing Was Time-Consuming

Arranging the layout, choosing colours, setting fonts — it took me a lot of time. I changed the homepage design at least 4–5 times. But each change taught me how user experience works, and how important it is to keep things neat and readable.

4.Writing My Own 'About Me' was Difficult

Surprisingly, the toughest part was writing about myself. I didn’t know what to say, how to keep it short, or whether it sounded professional enough. After a few drafts, I decided to just be honest and keep it simple.

5.Mobile Version Adjustments

What looked good on my laptop didn’t always look good on mobile. I had to preview and adjust a lot of elements to make sure it was responsive. It took patience, but now my site looks clean on both phone and computer.

How My Website Helped Me Grow

                                         Once my website went live, something changed in me. I wasn’t just learning anymore — I was creating. I had something real to show, something that represented my work and identity. That small step gave me a lot of confidence.Now, whenever I write a blog, I feel like I’m building something long-term. When someone asks about my digital marketing journey, I proudly share my site link. It feels so good to have a space online that’s fully mine — no ads, no distractions, just me and my work.Even on days when I feel low or confused, I visit aiswaryaks.com and remind myself how far I’ve come.This website may be simple, but for me, it’s a reminder that I’m moving forward.

Conclusion

Looking back, creating my website was one of the best things I did during my digital marketing journey. It started as a small idea, but it turned into something I’m truly proud of. Not because it’s perfect — but because it’s mine.Every page, every colour, every word was chosen by me. I made mistakes, took time, and learned a lot on the way. More than anything, this website helped me believe in myself. It made me realise that I’m not just a student anymore — I’m slowly becoming a digital creator. Just start somewhere. Your first version may not be great, but it will always be your first step forward. And that matters.
