So you are finally ready to create that web site for your small business. You have spent countless hours pouring over hundreds of web sites to get some ideas and now you have a good picture in your mind of what you want your site to do and how you want it to look. All that is left is for you to code it up and upload it live to the Internet, right? Well, maybe. But there are a few things that you have hopefully taken into consideration:
Plenty of Web Site Content
Keep your content fresh
SEO friendly code
Your new web site needs plenty of content
Don't think that you can write a paragraph or two for your Home page, create an "About Us" page, sprinkle a few pictures here and there and call it a day. Depending on your market and how competitive it is, it may be necessary for you to create a web site that includes dozens or maybe even hundreds of pages of content. Your particular industry will be your guide. See what you competition is offering on their sites, then you will have a good idea of what will be required of your web site. back to top You must keep your web site content fresh
Would you keep visiting a store if they never displayed new products? Of course not. Well, the content on your web site is just like that store's products. You have to keep it fresh to keep your visitors coming back. In addition, fresh web site content keeps the Search Engines coming back because they know there will probably be something new to index. back to top
Create Search Engine friendly code for your web site
The best looking web design on the Internet is not truly successful if it is ignored by Search Engines. So, in addition to fresh, original content, you have to present that content in a way that appeals to the Search Engine robots who visit your site.
...there are no SEO guarantees. So do your homework before you hire...
If you are not sure how to complete this step in the process, you may want to enlist the help of a professional. But, do not fall for the promises that some Search Engine Optimization (SEO) firms make when they guarantee top 10 results. No one can "guarantee" that. If they could, trust me, they would not have to advertise because their phones would be ringing off the hook. back to top
