Knowing Why You Want A Website Is Just As Important As How To Build One

Where Do I Start?
Return to TopYou can only begin from where you are. If you are new to creating a website there are a lot of things to learn – setting up a domain, getting a hosting account, installing a website content management system (WordPress, WIX, etc.), creating pages, etc.
While the beginning stages of the setup process are all technical steps, it’s important to know ahead of time how you want to present your website to visitors and potential customers. Everything you add to your site will affect how your visitor experiences the website. If the information is confusing or takes too many steps they may go somewhere else.
If you’re new to building an ecommerce website, all the steps can be overwhelming so it can be helpful to work with someone that will guide you through the process.
Whatever phase you’re in (learning, planning, building or restructuring) it’s important to know your resource limits. Are you limited by learning, time, money, effort, etc.? The consultative approach I take is to collaborate with you to show you the possibilities and to customize the approach to get there faster.
What Do I Need To Know?
Return to TopWe offer services that will get you started at the beginning such as getting your domain and hosting account setup. After that you will be at the place of building what you want. And that’s the challenge. Understanding the steps involved from translating your desired outcome to a tangible website involves a lot of brainstorming so that your site can actually reflect what you’re offering in a way that appeals to customers.
If you have an interest in learning the technical aspects, you can get training from the beginning. If you are not interested in the technical aspects, you will still be involved in all the decision making processes.
If you want single services – Social Media, Digital Marketing, SEO, etc. – we have individual packages for that – but it may not serve you best if you haven’t thought out the reasons for doing this – your desired outcomes – and how you will measure its success. We will work through the stages to get you to the clarity you need to be able to put your vision onto the web page.

How Long Does It Take To Build a Website?
You can launch a website in minutes. But it will be a simple website that doesn’t do much.
What are your goals with your website?
Are you looking to sell something? Then you have to set up a marketing and sales process that guides a potential customer through the process of finding your product using paid or organic promotion, getting the customer to the right page to learn more about it, guiding the customer in the purchase process and then providing the product. That is a more detailed process that involves multiple setups.
Start with a simple goal but remember the easier you make it for your customer the more sophisticated it may be on the backend.
Taking action is a key skill in operating a business. If you’re ready to launch a website, launch it. It may not be perfect, but once it’s live it will take on a “life” of its own and you can continue to edit it to get it the way you want it. While planning is important, you can overplan and months can go by without a website and no sales.

How Much Does It Cost To Build a website?
You can build a website for very little money – if you do it yourself. Many of the tools are free or low cost and if you have the skills (or want to learn) to do it. But you must choose how you spend your time and energy. Are you in the business of becoming a web designer or are you trying to launch (or grow) a business? There are tradeoffs and often your time as a business owner is much more valuable than the time it takes to learn to code a website.
