Choose a Domain name

Choosing a domain name that includes your business name or the type of business is essential. This is because a domain name is like the address to your website. Hence, choose a name that is unique to your business and if you do not find the name that you are looking for, then perhaps you can add the city or the country name that your business is established in. This will also make it easier for customers to look for products and services in that particular location.

Create an Email Address

Along with a domain name it is important to create an email address so that your customers will be able to contact you if they want some details on your products and services. An email address has to look professional, and so it is important to have your business name in it. The best option is to create an email address with your domain name which will give a positive outlook to your business. Most businesses have separate email addresses for customer queries. You could go for something like hello@businessname.com or info@businessname.com

Selecting a Business Website Builder

After you are done with a domain name and an email address the next big step is to pick a website builder to help design and build your website. There are many website builders available in the market such as WordPress, Wix, Weebly or Squarespace. Most of them are free of cost but to get an updated version with better facilities, you may have to pay for these services. Paid options also have a wider range of templates, tools, themes, plugins, etc. Therefore, going for the paid versions are beneficial sometimes, that offer free services.

Pick a Template and a Logo

Once you have selected your website builder, the next step to pick a template that is appropriate for the type of industry that your business deals with. Don’t rush with selecting your template, put some time and thought into picking a layout or theme that is aligned with your business and the type of services and products you provide. These templates are pre-made designs that you can pick for your website. Remember to have consistency with elements such as brand colours, fonts, buttons, imagery, etc. If your business already owns a logo then you can simply scan the logo and update it on the website. However, if you do not have a logo then you should get in touch with a logo and branding company for small businesses.

Fill your Company Content

This is the last step where in you enter your company content and details. Here are some company website content tips:

  1. Keep the website content simple, to the point and easy to understand. It should convey the right message to your viewers about what your business is all about.
