Secrets to Building Your Own
Website for Business
Your business web design
skills might be nonexistent at this time but don't
worry. You have to get started somewhere. Learn
more advice about where to begin and get your site
seen by Google and the other search engines.
Traffic generation is the next step after the pages
are created and placed online.
To get started online without
knowledge or unlimited resources is tough, but
doable. If you are a small business owner and have
a web site, you know you're facing a smorgasbord of
competition. In order to increase
traffic generation to
your site and therefore gain more sales, you need
to stand out from the crowd. This can be
accomplished, even on a shoestring budget.
Here we provide several
pointers to get your business profitable and
thriving, which are applicable to both new and
existing small business web sites.
1. How do People Find
You?
While you're probably aware
of the importance of search engine rankings, it's
still worth a mention. Be aware that 75% of all
searches are conducted through Google. This being
the case, you'll want to give particular attention
to what increases your rankings for your business
web design – of course, getting on page one is
your ultimate goal. Google provides articles and
FAQs to give you guidance, so take a
look.
2. The Look and Feel of
Your Business Website
While the big name
corporations seem to adhere to the plain Jane,
two-color design, as a small business, you're
better off with a small business web design that
creates visual excitement for your visitors. This
doesn't translate to a cluttered, too-busy look.
Your logo design should be simple but memorable.
Images relevant to the content on each page serve
to highlight and enhance the information you're
presenting.
Your page layout should be
consistent, with ad placement, content and other
elements in the same general area of every page.
There is a lesson available which gets more
specific about setting up pages - Small
Business Web Design.

3. Write Right - The
Importance of Relevant Content
As for content, this is the
giant step. You want plenty of it, providing
valuable, quality information your visitors can use
and won't be likely to find elsewhere. The idea
here is to establish yourself as an expert in your
field. Another way to use content to bring new
traffic to your site is to submit some of your
better pieces to reputable directories with a large
readership. The directories allow you to include a
byline, with a link to your site.
4. Research for
Results
Do your research on keywords!
Even with quality content, if you don't use the
right keywords, you'll lose in your search engine
rankings. Instead of gaining the coveted page one
entry, you may end up on page 10! Statistics
indicate most searchers don't go beyond page two of
the search results.
Check out the
©Wordtracker
keyword research tool. Most people swear by the
results they obtain with this tool. Finding and
using the right keywords for your business niche is
one of the most effective elements of your business
web design plan, so don't neglect this one. For

5. The Email Newsletter
- Keep Yourself in Front of Your
Customers
When you're working out your
plan for your business web design, consider adding
a free newsletter. (If you don't know how to get a
newsletter going, there are plenty of free
tutorials and templates to guide you through the
process.). I use a company called Aweber
to send out to my list of subscribers. They are
easy to use and affordable.
Before you publish your
newsletter, decide on a schedule you can commit to
– a biweekly newsletter is manageable for most
small businesses and keeps your site in your
reader's minds.
If you do decide to offer a
newsletter, place your offer in a prominent (and
same) location on every page. Building an email
list is an important element of the successful
business web design. In addition to feature
articles published in your newsletter, you may want
to offer articles to other newsletters for
businesses outside of your niche, but in a related
field, further increasing your exposure to the
world.
6. Other Quick Tips for
Designing and Traffic Generation
When you have some spare
time, work on a downloadable ebook or special
report, which, when completed, you offer at no cost
to interested visitors. When
launching or revamping your web site, a resource
page of links to information is a must. This is
also a good place to include affiliate links to
quality products, which gives you some commission
income as well.
As time permits, there are
even more ways to enhance and expand your business
web design. Think about adding a blog, message
board or forum for your visitors. If you take some
time to implement all of these crucial elements of
website
design and promotion,
you'll soon reap the benefits. Watch your traffic
generation – and income –
grow!
