So you have your gorgeous business, you probably have a Facebook page, and now you are ready to start thinking about that website. You buy your domain, you pick a website builder, and boom. You’re good to go, right?
Or are you….
You’ve probably now found yourself staring blankly at a website editor that looks fairly easy to use on the surface, and you’re pretty sure you can make it look pretty and professional enough. BUT what about the bit that counts? The keywords, the header tags, the dreaded SEO.
Now we’re in proper trouble if you’ve just asked yourself what SEO is.
A Smart Website = Less frustration
SEO is Search Engine Optimisation, and this is what needs to be correct in order for your website to be found on Google, basically. Now Google is reasonably kind about all of this, as they don’t hide what you need to do, they give you clear rules about what they are looking for, but this is a skill. An understanding and knowledge. How much time have you really got to go and learn that new skill. Properly.
From the number of people that come to us after nearly pulling their hair out trying to navigate their way though the website builders, I’m guessing not much.
Don’t get me wrong, website builders can be great, if you know what you are doing. Our friends over at Squarespace and Wix give you a lot of guidance, but you’re ultimately still relying on the assumption that you’ve got it right. There’s no-one there to check it for you.
With a Smart Website, you get so much more than being thrown in at the deep end.
You get the best of both worlds, a done for you website AND the flexibility of being able to duplicate pages to add content whenever you want. But what is different to using a website builder, if I’m doing that myself? Simple. You are duplicating our knowledge. We have already constructed your pages correctly, with the techy, geeky bits all in place, so all you need to do is swap out the content.
We also give you full access to our training library, which gives you step-by-step instructions on how to do this. The platform is so easy and intuitive to use, that you will likely only need to use these videos once, everything is always easier when you’ve been shown how, right?
And to put the cherry on the top?
Yes, there’s more. Because all of our websites are built on WordPress, you get full access to the huge suite of plugins available for WordPress websites, so many of them free. Need a shop? Just add WooCommerce. Need a pop-up? Just add Hustle. We give you a list of our most popular, and most trusted plugins to choose from to give you a bit of guidance. We also give you detailed instruction on how to set up and use each one.
If that all sounds just that little bit better than pulling your hair out on your DIY…get in touch with us, and we’ll give you the support that you could have done with since the beginning. We all need a little help with the things that are out of our area of expertise, so in this instance, come and join us, and end up with a smart website that works, gets results for your business, and gives you the control and flexibility every business owner wants.
