Monday Feb 8, 2010

Before you get one of those quick do it yourself websites on the internet, you might want to think about a few questions.

1. Do you have the time to learn how to build a website?

2. Will you be able to put in the time to actually build your new website?

3. Are you clear on what your visitors will want on your website, and how to make it a success?

4. Are you clear on what you want your website to do for you?

Yes these are a lot of questions when all you wanted is a website. Is it really this hard?

Hey before you fork over the cash to an expensive web guy, or you jump into one of the quickie web building solutions, you might want to spend a little time on these questions.

So let’s look at each of them:

1. What level of ROI do you expect from your website? Do you have clear goals set? A website should be viewed no differently than any other kind of advertising campaign. It’s always wise to have clear goals and objectives set for any campaign, and so should you with your website. What to you really want it to do for your business?

2. Are you able, and to you really want to take the time from building and running your business, to building a website? You see it really doesn’t matter how simple the web building software seems, there will always be a learning curve. Is the time you’ll need to invest worth it?

3. Do you have the time to actually build the website? See above.

4. Do you understand how to get web visitors to your website? This is where a lot of “Offline Business Owners” get it all wrong. If you build it they will come? Not usually. Although the Internet provides small businesses with a terrific marketing venue, BUT unless you know a little about SEO, and how to get web traffic to your website, no one will find you online.Whatever you want to accomplish on line, you’re going to need a steady flow of targeted traffic. Visitors who are interested in your product or service. That doesn’t happen by luck. It takes some knowledge, anda bit of work. Some will tell you that there are tremendous magic tools you can buy to get web traffic. Others will be happy to take your money to show you the latest tricks to get your website to the topof the search engine listings. There’s a lot of really good information on the Internet related to this topic, but there’s also a lot of bad. The challenge is deciding which is which.

So let’s take a look at this quick list;

1. Write down your objectives! What do you want your website to achieve for your business?

2. You need a budget. Whether you’re going the do it yourself route, or hiring a pro web guy, it will cost money.

3. Decide that you’re going to at least talk with a professional. I would advise that you hire a web guy who will show you his results from good SEO practice for other clients. If you decide to do your own site, a pro will help you to avoid the critical mistakes that many do it yourselfers make.

4. If you hire a web guy, don’t go for the cheapest price. Quality must be seriously considered or you can end up paying again to re-do your website. You truly get what you pay for. May you have all the success you hope for and I sincerely hope these tips will help to save you some money and time.
