Tips to Increase your Clientele
4 Steps to Create a Website
If you hire a Web Developer typically they will take care of any of the steps 2, 3 and 4
.- Check your competition. How is their website? Remember it is quite often easier to appear bigger on the Internet than in real life. Example, you could look better than a competitor by having a more sophisticated website.
- Answer questions like why should customers come to see us. It could be the price; it could be the individualized attention they get with you. Just make sure you highlight this message on your website
- You should have clear objectives for your website. The results should be measurable. Example:
- I want the website to save us time by taking appointments online. Your measurement would be so many appointments made online per year is a success. You need to figure out how you will advertise your site to achieve these goals.
- You want to educate your clientele so that you don’t have to spend as much time on the phone. To measure this goal find out from your Customer if they have read the information
- I want to sell items online. You should have a goal of how many items online should you sell in order to have consider the website a success
- Your store is hard to find and when clients call it’s hard to explain over the phone. Etc. There could be so many examples
- When you are having flyers printed, you bring a disc containing all the information to be able to print your flyer. When you come to see a Web Developer you should be preparing the same way. You don’t have to have everything ready but at some point in the near future you need to have done your homework so that the Developer can start working on your website. Make sure you have all the content written for your website, make sure you have corrected all the typos, and you have all the pictures you want to use. A Web Developer can find pictures for you at an extra cost but it is not his/her job to proofread your content and it is not his/her job to write the content of your website. Again at an extra cost they might be able to find a Writer for you but it is not a standard service and it is certainly not included in the website design
- A domain name is very important it must be easy to remember for people. There are so many names that are taken that it’s hard to find a short name
- If you are not only a local but can appeal to people anywhere in the world than it would be a good idea to have a keyword in your domain name. For example if you are selling sport cars it would be good to have www.sportcar included in your domain name. You may not be able to find sport car but you may be able to find www.onlineSportCars.com .
- We have not found that there is much difference between one Domain Name Registrator and another. See here for a warning.
- This is where all your files for your website will reside. There are few things that might be important:Data security, speed of delivery see article for more

Depending on your answers these will be your choices
- Custom Website Design: a Web Developer will design your website according to your plan and it will be unique to your busines
- You select a Website Template and have a Web Developer do the modifications: You probably have used templates before with word processor software like Microsoft Word. Basically it’s a document that is already preformatted and it makes your job easier to create your new document. So there are some already made website templates. The advantage is that it takes less time to create a website with a template and you might be able to do the work yourself. The disadvantage is that your website is not so unique if someone else select the same template both of your websites will look very similar.
- You buy a Website Template and do the modifications yourself: get a website template where you can add images, texts without the help of a Developer
