Website Creation For An Online Business

Starting an Online Business: Tips for Creating Your Website and Blog
By Sean R Mize

One of the first things that you need to do when starting an online business is building your own website and blog. These are the sites where you'll send interested parties to. As they'll represent your coaching business in the World Wide Web, making them extremely effective and attractive is non-negotiable. Below are some amazing tips on how you can make this happen:

First, choose an attractive, memorable domain name. Be very creative when choosing your domain name as this will have a direct impact on the amount of traffic that you're going to attract later on. It must be witty, keyword-rich, short, and memorable. Make a list of those keywords that are closely related to your niche and mix match them until you find something that really sounds good. Check if other people have chosen the name. If not, go ahead and register it right away. If yes, see if the owner is selling the domain name; you might just get lucky.

Get inspirations from top websites. Do your research and create a list of top websites that are known for their designs to get inspiration. Just keep in mind that you cannot copy them all the way. Know their common denominators and see if you can apply those things on your own website.

Keep it simple and elegant. If you think that loading your website with too many graphics and blinking texts will help you attract traffic, you better think again. Doing these will make your website look amateurish. Let me tell you now that online users hate these and pop up windows and scrolling texts. So, just make your website and blog look clean and nice. Also, make it easy to navigate. Your visitors should easily find the buttons that they're looking for and they shouldn't need to click more than a couple of times to get to the information they need.

Get help. If you think that you lack the needed technical skills, look for people who can help you. Go to freelancing sites where you can easily find freelance web designers. Make sure you work with somebody who has proven track record. Although this would mean paying for the service, you'll surely benefit from someone's expertise and experience and that could be a huge thing.

Make your blog and website very informative and useful. Making your website look visually appealing isn't enough. If you want your prospects to stay longer, you have to give them exactly what they're looking for - useful, unique information.

Make it search engine-friendly. Check the latest algorithms of major search engines to figure out what they're considering when they're assigning page ranking. Keep these in mind when designing your website, when writing and optimizing it content, and when deciding on the elements that you're going to use. Grabbing a nice spot on Google is always a good thing for ebusiness owners like you as this will automatically mean more qualified traffic for your website.
