You have identified that to have an internet prescence would be of benefit to your small business, however are not sure how to proceed. This article gives free tips on web design services and practices and on how to keep your web designer happy and on side.
I have a large number of websites to do with various subjects including providing information about a famous gym in Belfast, offering stuttering advice and providing one-way backward links.
The first thing you need to do if find a suitable web designer or web design company. Due to the large amount of competition out there you should be able to find a quality professional web design company happy to build you a website from between £50 and £100.
There are many places where people can locate these cheap web design offers including via search engines and local small ads newspapers.
Always ask to see their portfolio of the websites they have already built, this way you can see if you like their style etc.
It is also worth asking if the web designer would be willing to include a link to your new site on their website. The amount of people linking to your website is becoming more and more important and as a general rule the more backward links you have the more visitors you are likely to receive.
Once you have found the web designer you now have to think about content, colours and graphics for your website. I personally write all of the content for my websites on a word document which I then forward to the web designer.
After the site has been uploaded to the web it is then a case of submitting the website to the major search engines. By the far the most popular of these is Google but there is also Yahoo and Bing. It is free to submit your website to these search engines.
Always include your web address in any correspondence or any advertising.
