I am continually being asked about all the different possible ways to make money online. I do extensive training on the setting up of websites for small home businesses. This advice and training very often is also in demand with other bigger businesses to get their websites set up properly online.
There are so many website designers that are extremely skilled in the art of making a website look brilliant and even function very well, and then they fall down on the most basic of Search engine optimization, or on the simplest of keyword research terms that are so necessary to getting a website noticed online. It horrifies me to see a small business owner sitting with a website that he has paid massive amounts of money to have set up and the business is simply not happening as it should.
Really brilliant HTML coding and other details that are put onto big websites are often not the fault of the website designer. The client is king is so often heard and is generally true. As a service supplier it is not our place to tell the client that he is a fool and is not going to get the best result out of his website for whatever reason. Most of the time we just end up agreeing with the client and find it easier to just do what they say they want, and that is not always the best option, hence this article.
If I could give all prospective website owners a brief overview as to what all the basic options are in relation to the different ways that they could optimize their websites, then I would have done everyone a big favor.
The bigger the corporation is the more opportunities that that sized business has to portray their website and hence their image in a multitude of different ways. Big business has the chance to do brand building, run competition websites or just do pure information websites.
This freedom is not always the choice or even an option for a small business, and the smaller the business is the tighter the targeting has to become. This exact focusing is one of the first items that are thrown out of the discussion meetings when designing a website.
The most important factor in setting out the initial design parameters of your business website is to be very sure as to what you really need the website to do, and then to stick to that plan from every aspect. Be totally clinical with all the different facets of the websites layout allowing that all you need it to do is keep to that main structure.
You would still have a lot of flexibility in the style and look of the site with all the different pages, posts and things like color and style being very fluid.
Best of luck with the designing.
I feel very strongly about this initial planning aspect of web design and feel that so many people waste huge amounts of time and money setting off in the wrong direction without the correct amount of thought. This is the first of a series of articles that I plan to write in connection with all the different ways that you could set out you business websites to earn money online. If you were aware of all the different types of ways to set up your website design wise from the very beginning then surely you would be financially better off from day one?
