Most customers will expect to be able to find your business on the internet. Whether you sell your products online, or just want to provide some information about your business and your contact details, having a website is almost essential.
It's a good idea to think about what you want to achieve with your website before you start creating it. Researching your competitors' websites can help you get a clear idea of what works best for you.
To create a website, you must follow 4 basic steps.
1. Domain Name Register
Your domain name should reflect your product or service so that your customers can easily find your business through search engines. Your customers may also expect your domain name to be similar to your business name.
Your domain name will also be used for your email address. While you can use a free email address like hotmail, sending emails from business addresses looks more professional.
To register your domain name, you need to find an accredited registrar and pay a fee. An accredited registrant is an organisation authorised by auDA, the Australian domain name administrator, to provide services to people wishing to register a new domain name, renew an existing domain name, or make changes to their domain name records.
2. Web Hosting
You need to find a web hosting company to get your domain name on the internet. Most major internet service providers offer web hosting services. They can also give you multiple email addresses.
The monthly cost for web hosting varies depending on how big your website is and how many visits you get.
3. Kontent
Think about what you want your customers to be able to do through your website. This will help you determine what section or page you want to include. Consider what information or transactions your customers want and make sure the site is structured to make it easier for them to find and do the things they need.
Just as you might hire a professional to design your site, you may also want to consider hiring a professional to write and structure your content.
A well-designed and easy-to-use website by customers will help your business stand out. Having relevant and appropriate content and images will help customers understand your products and services and will make them feel comfortable buying from your business.
4. Build a Website
You can build your own website or have a professional web developer develop it for you. The website should always be updated, so make sure you plan for ongoing maintenance.
You can use a website publishing package to build your own website. It's similar to a word processor, but it also has a built-in feature to convert your text and images into web content and send them to your website.
Having someone else build a website for you is a great idea if you are new to online business. Professional web developers can build your site quickly and provide guidance on successful web design. Hiring a professional can be very useful if you want to have an online store or offer other services through your website.
You need to design your website so that it can be easily used on smartphones and other mobile devices. Optimizing your website for mobile use means more and more people using mobile phones and tablets to access the internet can use your site while they travel.
Tips for Creating Your Business Website:
- Think about what your customers want to know, not just what you want to tell them.
