It may seem surprising, but even in 2021, there are still some small companies that don’t have a website. Maybe they just began, or perhaps they think they’re too small or too restricted. Or maybe they’re just hesitant to admit they don’t know where to begin. Many other companies have websites that are basically unusable—or just unused. You probably know that if you’re in sales, you need a good website. Even if you don’t sell your commodity or service online, people will need to find you, and the way they do that is by viewing online. Here’s a step-by-step plan for building a website for your small business.
Decide what you want your website to do
This initial step is key. You may want a website that just lets people know where your company is established and what you sell. If that’s the case, you can have a rather simple website. But, if you want to sell your goods online you’ll need an e-commerce website. People need to be able to shop and obtain on your site, and then pick up things at your store or have them shipped.
Consider Consulting a Designer
This step is contingent upon how tech-savvy you are. Choose someone knowledgeably – and ask for samples of portfolios that they’ve completed. Make sure you also add your social media pages as icons so that you can easily manage your online status.
Decide on a Content Management System
The kind of site you decide on will assist to decide what software you use to design the site. Many software applications, often regarded as Content Management Systems or CMS, are available, at least for the basic version. If you don’t need e-commerce ability, look into WordPress, which has shifted the de facto standard for websites and blogs. Whichever platform you choose, make sure that you or whoever is managing is trained before they begin the world.
Choose a host
Your website has to be hosted, which means that it will require you to ‘live’ somewhere so people can obtain it. Mot hosting companies have lots of digital storage so they don’t mind letting your website exist with them—for a price, of course.
Pick a domain name
This is your website address or URL. Pick something that will be different from your company but doesn’t limit you.
Remember that the same steps apply if you’re replacing your existing website. If it’s more than a few years old, you’re better off beginning from scratch than trying to repair your current site. Once your newly designed website is up and going, keep it modern with new content. Visitors should find something new every time they visit your site. New blog posts, informative videos will keep your prospects and clients coming back.
