So many businesses get this wrong. Its the starting point for any online presence for any organisation and its remarkable how wrong some businesses get it. Your website has to be built correctly so search engines can index it and people can find it, it has to engage users so they want to contact you and your website has to be promoted. It also needs attention, like a plant needs water and food, your website needs tweaking, fresh content and well written content.

Already Got a Website?
Well, many businesses have. But many businesses have the opinion that once they have had a website built and published, they can sit back and count the money. Understandable to business people are busy running their businesses, but if you are one of these people, you need to be aware of a few things so that you don’t waste your money. Just because you have a website on the internet doesn’t mean people will find it. (Other than those people you have told where it is). You also need to bear in mind that your site will, to many visitors, be the first introduction to your business and yes, people really do judge books by their covers. Statistics show that when a visitor lands on your site, they decide within eight seconds whether to stay or move on.

Rent A Website
A well designed and constructed website with an architecture that will allow expansion without a rebuild will pay for itself-fact. It’s there to promote your business and engage it’s users. If your website achieves this and brings in business, then it’s the best money you can spend. If you don’t want to spend hundreds of pounds, you can rent a website. This is even more cost effective and you can try before you buy. This option is well worth considering.

Free Websites
Don’t waste your time or your money. Can you optimise your website correctly? Can you design great looking graphics? Trust me, leave it to professionals, you get on and run your business, that’s what your good at. Many of the free websites out there will never be found. Gradually, they’ll disappear like the snows of winter.

The Point
The point is, get a well designed website by professionals. Get them to optimise it and keep optimising it so that you keep improving your ranking with the search engines. Let them manage your social media, integrating with a facebook and twitter account really does help and gets you exposure. Can’t afford to buy outright? Join thousands of others who rent a professionally designed site from £9.99 per month. One of the more important aspects to remember with online marketing is stay in touch with the professionals as often as you can. Only you know what you really want so keep that two way conversation going.

Online Presence
An online presence is a fantastic, cost effective way to promote your products and services. Get it right and you will wonder how you ever managed to work without it. Get it wrong and watch your competitors gain more and more of your market.
