Steps for starting an online business website:
Decide on a domain name
Equally important as a business name, keep in mind the following:
- Keep it easy to type: An easy to type domain is always easier for people to remember and keeps your website name on the mind of your regular visitors.
- Keep it short: Longer domain names are usually misspelled and make it tough for people to reach you.
Target area
If your target area is local, you can always try to bring in the name of the area in your domain. E.g. www.brooklynbakers.com or www.newyorkbakery.com
Use the right keywords
Having the right keyword on your domain always helps you rank better on the searches. E.g. www.newyorkrealtor.com or www.worldmodelhunt.com
Prepare your business portfolio content
A good business portfolio content always helps the developers to decide on the website’s basic architecture and the platform for the website.
A good business portfolio includes:
Hire a developer or a development team
Based on your budget and need, find the developer or the development company providing you the services you need. The price range for websites can be anywhere starting from $250 to a high of $6000 or more depending upon your need. The best way to not risk much is to start with a simple website for a low price and then move ahead to a better version with time.
Prelaunch marketing
Present your audience to what they are going to get from your business services online. A good pre-launch marketing plan will always help your business to get the first boost any website needs.
Announce your launch
When you are ready, make sure to give them the right information about your existence. A good launch marketing strategy is a necessity.
Deciding your web platform
It’s best to know what you are getting into when it comes to a website. There are several things that you need to do on a website. E.g. WordPress, Joomla, Laravel, CodeIgniter etc. There are more than 800+ content management systems that are available in the market, while WordPress is the best of them.
