How To Build Your Own Website
Hints And Tips To Get You Started
Recent statistics show that approximately one billion people around the world have internet access. With this in mind it’s easy to see that the potential to market your business on a global scale has never been more real, or more exciting! Whether you’re a small local service provider or the owner of a multi-national chain of stores, the opportunity to give your business a presence on the world wide web is just too good to pass up.
The decision to market your business on the internet doesn’t need to mean undue stress and financial expenditure. In fact, an increasing number of people are choosing to design and build their own business websites, and there are a host of different software packages available to allow you to do just that. Although tackling this type of project can be a little daunting, if you’re on a budget it might be worth considering. Read on for some helpful tips to help you get started...
Planning Your Website
It’s important to plan properly before you begin to design and build your website or you could end up with an end product that doesn’t really meet your needs.
* Think about what function you actually want your website to fulfil. Are you planning to use your website to publicize your business, or would you like to be able to sell your products online?
* How many pages would you like your site to have? (eg. Home, About Us, Products, Contact etc)
* What kind of images will you need to include on each page? If you’re selling a product, do you plan to include an image of everything in your range? How will you source these images?
* Are you likely to require any special functions for your website? (eg. The ability to make regular updates or a members only area)
This may seem like a lot to think about, but it really does pay to plan well before you begin!
Designing and Building
Once you have a firm idea of what you actually need from your website, you’ll be ready to start designing. This can be pretty daunting for a relative novice, however the good news is that there are plenty of software packages available to help you.
If you’re a complete beginner it’s probably best to start out with a template which you can add your own touches to, rather than ttempting to design the whole site from scratch. A quick internet search will provide you with numerous site-builder software options and it’s worth spending some time reading through some of the information to get a flavour of what you can expect from those you may be considering.
Prices vary enormously depending on the features included, however for a beginner ease of use should definitely be right at the top of the wish list! Some of the most popular include Xara extreme, Mr Site’s Takeaway Website Pro and Magix Website Maker.
And Finally...
It doesn't have to be an arduous task to get your business online. However, if doing it yourself sounds like a bit too much to take on, Gettaweb can design your website absolutely free and take care of your hosting and domain name too.
