Website Design & Development
Your website is the online face of your business. First impressions matter! Put your best foot forward with a professionally designed and developed website.
What is website development and why do you need it?
In a nutshell, website development is the designing and building of your website and getting it online. There are increasingly more and more ways of getting a website up and running. Some popular methods are DIY builders like Squarespace and WordPress. These are great tools for people who are comfortable with tech and have the time to devote to getting it done themselves. Sometimes this approach works well but sometimes not so much. Even if you decide to go it yourself and get stuck, I’m happy to jump in and help out! Just contact me here.
There are a lot of aspects of building a website that can be a little complicated and intimidating. The site must be not only designed well but also responsive to all screen sizes. Site speed, SEO optimization, domain registration, hosting, DNS, oh my… It can be a lot. This is where a professional web developer comes in.
Do I need a website for my business?
Let’s back up a bit. It wasn’t that long ago that most businesses didn’t have any kind of website or online presence. And even if they did, it most likely didn’t get much traffic and probably was not a very important part of the business. This is not the case anymore.
71% of businesses have a website in 2023
The advancement on the internet has made a well-designed, fast, and functional website an absolute must for businesses. According to Forbes.com, 71% of businesses have a website in 2023. If you’re not in that 71% there’s a very good chance that you are losing potential customers to your competitors.
Where to start?
If you are not one of the DIY types we talked about before you might be wondering how to get the ball rolling. The first step is to contact a professional web developer (*ahem —> click here to contact me) and have a chat about what your needs are.
From our conversation, I’ll be able to get your website designed and built around your business’s particular needs and requirements. Want to manage the site yourself after it’s built? Sounds great! Don’t want to even think about touching it but still need to have updates made like adding new products, landing pages, portfolios, social media pixels, etc. That’s not a problem either. We can work out a plan that is exactly what you need.
