It really doesn’t matter what the size of your business is, we all want to get the best products or services for our business without blowing the budget. Nothing is truer than when developing your brand, launching or redesigning your business website.
It’s about this time of year you start to feel stuck in a rut. You have been at your job for years, it’s the same day in, day out and you look at your friends running their own businesses and they seem to have it all. So what is really involved in getting started with your own business? How viable is it?
1. Viability of your idea. Long before you need to worry about funding, websites, location for your business etc. of course the place to start is working out whether your idea is viable.
Starting a business website or redesigning an existing business website seems like a pretty easy thing to do, but in order to make sure you build a successful website we have below a checklist for you to make sure you have the basics covered
It’s always good to give your website a quick health check if it has been sitting pretty for a while. If you have a site that is a few years old it may still look amazing but does it still clearly convey your core messages?
In a day and age where templates are readily available and free website making tools are all around you, why on earth bother with going to an agency to have a bespoke website produced?
The answer to this is easy – you love your business and you’re passionate about it and you want to attract the very best clients who will tell their friends and colleagues about you, right?
It doesn’t take along for your customer’s to sum you up online. Although the look and feel of your website is very important in portraying the way your customers see you there are other contributing factors too.
Know your site.
To show your customers you are hands on and you take pride in your business you need to make sure you know your website like the back of your hand.
With the shift in consumer behavior towards online shopping how can you make sure it’s your eCommerce website that people buy from and not your competitors?
There are pros and cons for both side of the coin here but ultimately it’s about how you would like to position yourself in the market and how you wish to be seen by your target market.
