Building A Website – What You Need To Know Before You Build One
It takes a lot of work to build a website. The coding process alone can often take weeks (unless you choose a pre-made template). Even if you do know how to do HTML code, the website itself has a few other considerations that have to be factored in.
Most people build a website to get into Internet Marketing, but to do this, you need to answer several questions in regard to the site building process. Exactly what are these questions? The questions that you need to ask will be discussed in this article – let’s get started! Justin Michie, Anthony Morrison
One of the first questions you need to ask is how you will position yourself in your chosen niche. It really is true. You must do a lot more than choose the right niche. You need to determine your role. Are you a student, expert – what are you going to be? Maybe you’ll be a guru, an icon in this industry that people revere.
Figuring out the role you want to play within your niche will help you figure out how to gear your code and content. It is what will determine the tone of your website. Although you may choose different roles from time to time, picking one, and sticking with it, is what will solidify your website in the end. Have you thought about the keywords you intend to use to attract people looking for things using search engines? The keywords and phrases you select for your site play a crucial role in the way your site is displayed in search engine results. Your keywords will become a strong element within your meta tags. They will be the focus of your website content. They’re central to all of the copy on your site. Keyword research is easy enough, but don’t make the mistake of aiming at broad terms – you need to be specific to your own site here. Try to be creative here. You don’t want to use the same keywords as everybody else and wind up one of a million results do you?
When people visit your website, what exactly do you want them to do? Is your intention for people to submit their email address so that you can put together a list? Will you be providing merchandise that you want them to spend money on? Would you like them to tell other people about your site? Figure this all out before you start to write your code and your content. In order for your website to perform the way that you want it to perform, you need to be able to get people to do what you want them to do. Your main thoughts should always be directed at your end goal.
As you can see, putting any old website up and adding random content, is not the answer to online success. But conversely, the faster you are with Internet Marketing, the more likely you will succeed.
To succeed at this, however, it requires a lot of advance planning and preparation on your part. In this article, we have only presented a small amounts of the questions and issues that need to be addressed. Figuring out the rest of the things you need to know can be done with research and due diligence on your part. Good luck!
